Why we have a war in Sri Lanka?

I lived half of my adult life in Sri Lanka and other half away. During that time, I was able to see the both side of this war in Sri Lanka. Most people find it difficult to understand what this war is about. Is this an ethnic crisis, a terrorism problem, a freedom fight, fight against resistance? The list goes on.

If you look at the Tamil community, it has been a discriminating community for thousands of years due to Hindu caste system. That discrimination has kept certain underprivileged Tamils enjoying what the life has to offer. It is common to see Tami l millionaires and Tamil coolies who clean bathrooms in Sr Lanka side by side. Tamils are the most socially polarized minority in Sri Lanka. Caste system creates opportunities for human exploitation. The social oppression within Tamil community always existed even before alleged oppression claims against Sinhalese surfaced.

Let’s take LTTE Tiger leader Prabhakaran. He is known as the 7th grade dropout and a petty thief. He had no chance of emerging within the Tamil society as anyone. According to elite Tamil's standards, he won't even be hired as a domestic helper. In that sense, he would have had better chance in life among Sinhalese. Why Prabhakaran care about the freedom of Tamil people? He declared the war against elite Tamils first and killed all his rivals. Why Tamil Diaspora doesn’t care about his killing of Tamils? Well, that tells all the claims against Sinhalese are just political.

It is quite possible elite Tamils had a biggest ego in Sri Lanka. When their bottoms were whipped by certain Sinhalese leadership, they hired Prabhakaran who was a low caster himself to carry out dirty work against Sinhalese. Then they wrote the theme song for the struggle and pasted words like ‘discrimination’, ‘homeland’, ‘oppression’, and ‘chauvinism’ as justifications.
The bottom line is, there is no real motive for Tamils as an ethnic group for this war. They are so many different Tamil groups in Sri Lankan and they all have their own motives. The motives of Prabhakaran and Tamil Diaspora are different. They had to fake the reasons for this war to show the world about the homeland dream of Tamil elite. Since the reasons for this war is faked, there is no passion among most of Tamil people to support this war. That is why LTTE had to kidnap Tamil children for the war front and extort money from Tamils living around the world. If you motivate your people by fear for a cause your goal will never be successful.
Today Tamil Diaspora is doing what they do the best. Manipulating and wasting resources of the west to put an effort to stop the war. They are using Tamil civilian as reason for a cease-fire to keep Tigers alive. The truth is that Diaspora never cared about the plight innocent Tamil civilians. For them, the war is a game. They hate to see the game come to an end.

The war will end soon since the reasons they show why the war exist are so fake.

Is there a Genocide in Sri Lanka?

Genocide is not happening in Sri Lanka. Plenty of other nasty things are; but genocide is not one of them.
John Thompson
President - The Mackenzie
Institute in Toronto

The LTTE and its supporters in the international Tamil Diaspora they dominate would like us to slap the label of ‘genocide’ onto the Sri Lankan government. Ignore this campaign.

LTTE claims to represent all Tamils on the Island; and murdered tens of thousands of them to underscore the point. They’ve killed Tamils from rival insurgent movements, from federalist parties, schoolteachers who wouldn’t let them recruit children from their classrooms, people who wouldn’t pay extorted ‘war taxes’, and many more.

The Sri Lankan government is certainly guilty of human rights abuses, and the current government’s behaviour can be very troubling. Yet genocide is one crime that they cannot be accused of; no matter how shrill the wailing from Tiger’s propaganda outlets.

Canada should retract its call for a ceasefire in Sri Lanka, and instead call on the Tigers to surrender. As for those people busy pressing the ‘genocide’ button; leave it alone. It won’t work if it keeps being misused.
