LTTE vs Pro Tamils

There has been controversies whirling around for past few days regarding the conviction of Rajiv Gandhi Killers, stay on their death penalty or whether their mercy petition needs to be considered or not.Tamil Nadu Government has gone one step further ,passed a resolution in the assembly to ask the President to reconsider the mercy petition of Murugan,Santhan and Perarvalan who were the main convicts of Rajiv Gandhi's murder along with Nalini who got her death sentence commuted by the then president of India with the help of Mrs.Sonia Gandhi.

The day Tamil Nadu assembly passed a resolution there are debates regarding the Tamil sentiments whether the assembly represents the whole of Tamil Nadu or not.Yet there has been no transperency on how they determined the collective sentiments of Tamils to come to a conclusion that Tamilians would like to have these convicts pardoned.Here comes the Tamil parties or rather Pro LTTE Parties DMK,DK,MDMK, party leaders like Vaiko making seditious talks of seceding Tamil Nadu from India if these three are hanged.What do we make out of outrageous speech of those who proclaim to be patriotic yet talk about sedition?.Are they really bothered about the genocide of millions of Tamils in Sri Lanka that they even come forward to sacrifice their Nation interests for Tamil interests?The bitter answer and the truth is No.The people who talk about partitioning Tamil Nadu today are the people who have been official campaigners of Velupillai Prabhakaran, the head of the terrorist organization LTTE ,also one of the main conspirators of the killing of Rajiv Gandhi.The eloquent talks on Tamils and Tamil sentiments are not because of their conern towards the sentiments of Tamils but because of their loss of face due to the killing of Prabhakaran by Srilankan army.They dont want to lose their face once again by letting the death penalty of these three who dont even belong to India being executed.These are the same people who have been watching the killings of the tamils in Srilanka till today without providing any substantial solution.

Although there are people in Tamil Nadu who are genuinely concerned and worried about the condition of Srilankan Tamils more from a humanitarian perspective , official campaigners of LTTE like VAIKO,Seeman ,Nedumaran and Ramadoss have made it look like if you are not pro LTTE ,you are anti Tamils.This is a very dangerous perspective, for Velupillai Prabhakaran himeslf,as the head LTTE did not do anything better to the Tamils.We will see why and how in sometime .Paying heed to the genocide of Tamils is different from lending support hand to LTTE terrorism as LTTE has also been a part of killing of lot of Tamils and srilankans in Srilanka.

The chronology of LTTE started after the Srilankan Independence in 70s,when Successive srilankan Government were in denial of providing equal rights to tamils.They became a threat to Srilankan Tamils by passing discreminatory policies against tamils.It was at this point in time ,around 1980,LTTE an organization headed by Veluppilai Prabhakaran was formed, demanding a separate state for Tamils in Northen and Eastern part of Srilanka .They took up arms as a retaliation to fight against the then Srilankan Government which was passing discreminatory policies by condescending them.LTTE became a very notorious terrorist organization as its ideology was not based on any religion although their demonstrations included attacks of innocent civilians,Bank robbery,bombing properties, act of ethnic cleansing.

Apparently, during the time of tamil unrest there were also other Tamil organizations working parallely to fight for the Tamils such as Eelam Revolutionary Organisation of Students (EROS),Tamil Eelam Liberation Organization (TELO) ,People's Liberation Organisation of Tamil Eelam (PLOTE),Eelam People's Revolutionary Liberation Front (EPRLF),Tamil Eelam Liberation Organization(TELA).What started as a fight for regional Autonomy became the fight for the claim of dominance with the fight between insurgent groups.TELO had a pro Indian view and pushed India for peace talks with Srilanka.When LTTE decided that they would not settle for anything less than a separate state,they decided to eliminate TELO and ordered the other tamil civilian groups to join them .As a result fighting broke out between TELO and LTTE ,around 400 militants of TELO were killed by the LTTE.LTTE also attacked ERPLF few months later therby threatening them to withdraw the troops from Jaffna.Thus by eliminating other Tamil groups LTTE made jaffna a LTTE dominated city.

It was also during the fight of separate state LTTE used local tamils as human shields and made sure that those who tried to escape to the Government declared safe zones are either burnt alive or mercilessly killed.they forcibly abducted an estimated twenty thousand children as young as ten and converted them into human bombs or cannon fodder. Tamil parents who objected to the forcible conscription of their beloved children were tortured or killed in front of their families. One cannot ignore that LTTE killed Srilankans.Yet one cannot deny the killing spree of LTTE did not stop with srilankans but included killing their own Tamils.Thus LTTE became a predator than a protector of Tamils.

Velayutham Dayanithi alias Daya Master, former media corodinator of LTTE, and George, official interpreter of top leader, in An article dated 2009 in Hindustan Times



"The LTTE is still using innocent civilians as hostages. They don't let them go out of the areas controlled by them. 'Viduthalai Puligal' (LTTE cadres) have killed a number of people in Sudanthirapuram area when they tried to flee from them,"


"More than 200 people lost their lives at the hands of LTTE in that one area,"


Again in 1983 the killing of 13 soldiers of the Sri Lanka Army by LTTE lead to the ethnic riots in Srilanka.The riots did not do any good but only detroiated the ethnic relations in Srilanka .Due to growing anger among the refugees,India intervened addressing the brutalities of LTTE by sending IPKF(India Peace Keeping Force) for peace talks to Srilanka.Indian Peace Keeping force was sent to Sri Lanka to carry out humanitarian aid and disarm the armed Tamils.The resolution to send IPKF to srilanka was decided by indian parliament at the behest of Rajiv Gandhi.Rajiv Gandhi's government attempted to re-establish friendly relations with the various factions in Sri Lanka while maintaining diplomatic efforts to find a solution to the conflict as well as limiting overt aid to the Tamil fighters.LTTE opposed the move which resulted in confrontation of LTTE and IPKF.The fighting continued till 1990 and it was during this time LTTE killed former Indian Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi in 1991, and Sri Lankan President Ranasinghe Premadasa in 1993 using Suicide bombers.

LTTE used violence against all those leaders and innocent civilians who they considered as an opposition to the LTTE.Thus with the end of Prabhakaran the fight for separate Tamil land also ended.It is because of the brutalities committed by LTTE innocent tamilians are suffering till today.People who talk about UN's resolution about srilanka on the genocide of tamils should not forget that UN has equally condemned the atrocities of LTTE.Infact LTTE was declared as terrorist organization and banned due to its atrocities.Read about it here.

What is disheartening today is the amount of support in Tamil Nadu to the LTTE.It has become very obvious that those people who support LTTE thereby condemning the genocide of tamils are hypocrites. LTTE downfall is a perfect example for those who take up violence for satisfying personal and political goals.Even if countless number of execution of terrorists is going to save one innocent life,capital punishment is justified.Mercy is not for people who dont deserve it.Violence does not instill fear but rather inspire further violence which is what is being carried out in Srilanka today.

Is opinion media frenzy?

Yesterday I was watching a debate on the lokpal bill on Times Now here where Cho ramaswamy was one of the panelists.All his argument through out the debate was how can any legislation be passed through an agitation of this kind.The problem with people of high IQ like Cho is they tend to analyse every situation and suspect anything that goes against the written laws.According to him what if tomorrow Amitabh Bachan and Shah Rukh Khan sits on an agitation to replace India Penal Code with Jan Penal Code (huh!!),People would involve more passionately with such an agitation.He also blamed the media for creating such an outcry on the fast and blowing it bigger than what it actually is.He also further went on referring the whole fast as farce comparing the fast of Anna Hazare with T20 match and Kiran Bedi being cheerleader

He is just one of the lot among several others who is frustrated by the agitation that has been taking place country wide for more than a week.Each person is entitled to their views but what is really heart wrenching is that their opinion about People of India which requires rebuttal.Their Indirect reference to people of India being fools is really a stance that needs to be addressed.If People of India were so naive to stand behind whoever protests why wasnt there any recent countrywide protests so far.?There were lot other issues that need to be addressed.Is this the first protest happening in recent times?.There was even so called fast staged by karunanidhi protesting(huh!!) against the genocide of Srilankan Tamils .Why wasnt it blown big.?Infact he was the CM then.If people of Tamil Nadu were so personality frenzy or media frenzy as some of them suggests why didnt State people blindly agitate showing their support to him?Even in recent times there have been protests here and there to stop the capital punishment of people who were convicted for Rajiv Gandhi's assasination?Why wasnt such protests receive not coutry wide but atleast statewide agitation?the answer is simple.People are full fledged to show their anger only on issues that they feel that requires serious attention ,the one that is directly affecting them.Moreover I doubt if Shah rukh khan and Amitabh Bachan are so brave enough of showing their concern towards the society that thy would go on a fast on such a burning issue when they hardly voice their opinion on issues even when someone else was taking the lead.?Even if they do what is wrong in following them.Following a cause does not necessarily mean follwing a persona.We have seen that happening in Tamil Nadu.There were people behind MGR when he started a political party and there were others who incurred failure in politics although they were successful in their own domain like Sivaji Ganesan.When there is an agitation against a burning issue people show their support not to the personality who is leading the cause but for the cause itself which eventually gets associated with anyone who leads it.This is what the whole episode of Anna Hazare teaches us.

Therefore,Cho's defence may well be received for argument sake but need not necessarily be the truth.The tolerance of people to any misdeeds of the government may be a weakness but not really the one that questions their intelligence.Not everybody gets a paltform to voice their opinion but when they do get they dont want to let it go.It could even be an electoral platform like the one election in Tamil Nadu or a nationwide protest like Anna Hazare's.This recent agitation against corruption has shown the GOI that the responsibility of the people just do not end with casting their vote but also voicing their opinion whenever need arises.

Let the soul rest in Peace!!


No wonder the 'Secular' Media trying to plant blatant stories instead of being a representative of public.The news that has been speculated from yesterday is the death of M F Husain, his life in exile and his wanting to come back to India(?!).Well the fact remains otherwise and could also be hidden forever.The truth is he was not expelled from India ,he moved out of India for two reasons 1.To avoid facing the trial in the court 2. For his own self.This is not my own hypothesis but this was what he told Barkha Dutt when he was interviewed by her.Now the clown of congress Mr.Digvijay Sign comes up with his usual communal conspiracy theory for this self imposed exile.Even if we go by the so called fact that it was a self imposed exile,What is the necessity for him to surrender his Indian Passport to acquire Qatar citizenship .Shouldn't we argue here about the half truths?

I should be buried wherever I die: MF Husain

This was the statement made by Mr.Husain himself before his death.The intellectuals of the media have comfortably ingnored the facts .lets leave such insignificant things aside about a dead man.Criticizing a dead man is no way to glorify him.He may be a great artist,good human being yet isn't he allowed to die at the age of 95? The second issue is with the term' Picasso of India'.Picasso is a great artist .No doubt about that.M F Husain may also be a great artist .But what is so common about Picasso and Husain Except that the former is also a painter.The pseudo intellectuals are so ignorant that Picasso's paintings were revolutionary and were created in defense of democracy.Some of his paintings had to do with contemporary issues. Picasso joined the French Communist Party, attended an international peace conference in Poland, and in 1950 received the Stalin Peace Prize from the Soviet government,Picasso was also awarded the Lenin Peace Prize in 1964.Now Can anyone explain what has been the social concern of Mr.Husain except that he hurt the sentiments of certain sections of the Society.?Media should learn to be skeptical rather holding one community culpable for his exile.


We Propagate our culture which teaches us not to point fingers at someone before overcoming our setbacks.It is the same culture which has taught us to respect other cultures and religions. The problem is not Husain painting Hindu Gods nude or provokative way.The issue would not have blown to this extent had he regretted for his deeds.The fact is that his own community is incapable of withstanding any criticism .Should we forget the plight of Danish Cartoonist who had to pay his life as penalty for exhibiting his freedom of expression?Should we forget Taslima Nasreen?Tolerance is not Tolerating Intolerance.


In his last interview to BBC Hindi in October 2010, the 95-year-old painter had said that he left India in 2005.This is what he said

""I am an overseas citizen of India. I can go anytime to India. The only thing I can't do is vote; anyway I have never voted in my life. There is no ban on me going to India."

Doesn't this show that he was not expelled from INDIA?.How much more significance will media try to give to an Indian who has never even voted in his life.The statement itself shows how attached he was with this country. Media is so concerned about teaching tolerance and liberalism to Indians by setting wrong role models.

In the same interview he also said that

"It is wrong to say that I don't have faith in India's democratic system. Why would I have taken the overseas citizenship of India if I did not have faith in India's democracy? I got the overseas Indian citizenship five days after getting the Qatar citizenship".

Now I am asking if Husain was lying?.if he was how can you trust a person who is so manipulative to be patriotic?.Here are some of his paintings and hypocrisy.
















Well I dont have to describe each and every painting above.Any sane person would be able to differentiate hatred,perversion and art.The buck doesnt stop here.It goes on with an unusual depiction of Ramayana where Ram and Sita are having sex while Lord Hanuman watching it.!!

In the Midst of praising hypocrats like Husain we forget to hail the existence of great artist Manjit Bawa who gave his life for art.I will not be surprised of his least aquaintance among people as the 'Secular' Media fails to cover people who is incapable of seeking such cheap controversies.He was born in Punjab in 1941.When young, he would travel widely either on foot, by bicycle or simply, by hitchhiking."We are delighted to have set a new world record price for a work by Manjit Bawa at auction. The $602,500 price achieved today was far above our pre-sale expectations," said Zara Porter Hill, International Head of Indian Art at the Sotheby's.


The sad part is he was not even able to relish it as he was under Koma for three years and died in 2008.

There were also great artist like Da Vinci who conveyed wisdom through his paintings.Hence his paintings of Monalisa is a masterpiece even till today.Husain should have faced the court and justified his paintings by explaining what sort of wisdom he was trying to convey instead of hiding himself in exile.No Body stopped him from coming to India.It was his fear of facing for his misdeeds stopped him from coming to India.


If nudity is justified with Khajuraho ,For your information Khajuraho was built 1000's of years ago.Times have changed since then.The Temples were built during the time when it was in line with peoples sentiments.Also in Khajuraho the main deity is fully clothed.Not only in Khajuraho in any temple,only the sculptures on the walls of the temples are nude not the main deity.You can have any number of nude paintings but do not call it Ram and Sita.What MF Husain exhibited is not art but perversion.


Again if nudity of hindu goddesses are done with aesthetic sense,then even pornography is justified.why media and some actresses make a huge cry when actresses pictures are being morphed and published over the internet?.Even that is done with an aesthetic sense.isn't nudity after-all a section of art that needs to be appreciated?
