While the international civil community do not endorse the mode of operation of erstwhile LTTE in its later stages,
We cannot refuse that Srilankan government is officially racial and religious fanatic.Below are the supporting facts.
1.Anyone who studies the political history of Srilanka after its independence would know that
Sinhalese political parties has always used sinhalese racial fanaticsm to grow big and capture power.The entire political dynamism of srilankan politics is around sinhalese racial feeling.
--- In all major riots against tamils happened after independence which led to armed eelam struggle , hoax was spread and carried forwarded by Sinhalese political parties.After every riot of this , political equations were changed and some party would have gained.Remember in most of the communal riots , Brutal rape and killings will be done by Criminals laboured by party involved , no civil person can do such.
Why international diplomats are not seeing this ? or Is academic intellectuality of analysing politics absent in current day diplomats ? or their moral character is thinning down ?
2.Srilankan government officially is not ready to give equal rights to tamils.Remember it is not saying no to reservation / quota which are unconditional in nature.It is saying 'no' to "Equal no differentiated civil,political and economic rights".
Many Indians who think that Tamils should live as separate state inside a federal united Srilanka and their request of separate nation is illegitimate, are failing to see this - that equal/undifferentiated treatment of Tamils is not endorsed/approved by Srilankan constitution/government. It is not like Indian constitution where no person is treated unequally.
While Britain's offcial stand is against racial ,religious discrimination and human rights suppression , now some British officials who are in power is working in tandem with Srilankan government and carrying forward the successful execution of common wealth meeting and subsequently the diplomacy goal of hosting common wealth conference.
They are personally influenced by srilankan goverment - Impact in the Equation with india may also be a factor.
Britain should realise that atleast this way of refraining will put pressure on Srilanka to work towards rehabilitation of tamils and give back their properties and hand them over hundreds of missing men - these were also the action items requested and mandated by U.N. after its recent finding.
While Srilanka should work towards devolution of power , Britain's this refraining from commonwealth will atleast ensure rehabilitation work by Srilanka and give it message that it cannot do as it wishes.
Britain's Queen , PM and top authorities should interfere and direct the officials who are now supporting srilanka.
Nice read!!
