One Last Thing...

(From the shoes of an innocent civilian who is caught amidst the War)

 

And I Pray God

If there is one!

And I ask

Just only one!!

 

Abduction, Avalanche, Anarchy

Bomb, Blood, Bastion

Slaughter, Shell, Surrender

No food, No clear water

No shelter, No freedom

No Guarantee to be alive tomorrow

This is life in Sri Lanka

At the Northern Part.

 

They Say You are Free

And Democracy is only ‘Three’

‘Of’ the people

‘By’ the People

‘For’ the People

And I wonder

Whether they mean

“Off” the people

“Buy” the people

“Far” the people

 

Time ticked

Minutes become hours

Hours become Days

Days become Weeks

And now Weeks become months

Any change in our lives?

 

Outcry does not stop

Killing still continues

Artillery and Guns become fat

We, Civilians, become lean

Will there be a change in surrounding

Other than mere Sun rise and set,

Or, Moon wax and wane?

Who do we turn into?

 

Shameless creatures

Still Talking in cubicles

Trying to find solutions,

And Let us not disturb them

For ‘Our call’ is very unimportant!

 

None of ‘Them’ endorse Peace

Else, why would they have Army?

None of ‘Them’ believe in God

Else, how would they justify killing?

‘They’ all have one thing in Common

Lust for Land!

And ‘They’ always did

And ‘They’ always Will!!

 

Time has changed now

Here I am

Ready to die any moment

And I ask God

One thing.

Should I say One last thing?

And next time

When ‘You’ create the Universe

Will you please separate us from animals?

(a loud explosion)

Decoding the past

What was up in the North of Sri Lanka? A brief review for the informationally-challenged people. The long-standing ethnic conflict between the majority Sinhalese and the minority Tamils has reached a point where the Tamils have lost the *utmost trust* in Sinhalese government post independence in 1948 and demanded a separate country. (If it was not for the *Once-upon-a-time-Land-Lust-British*, Tamils would have secured their separate country long time ago!) All the peaceful ‘Gandhian-style protests’ appeared so good when we read on history books; in reality, none of these protocols worked for the Tamils against the Sinhalese government. In return, the normal Tamil civilians end up losing their life, their property, and top of all freedom. (Freedom – What an insignificant word for the minority when the survival is in question mark, yet a very powerful word for the majority to give license even to kill!). Not to mention the inhumane atrocities committed against the Tamil women of all age range. Surprisingly, the so called ‘Law and Order’ turned a ‘Nelson’s eye’ to these crimes. The Tamils from the organizations and political parties either only raised voice and did nothing, or laid face down and shot on head in a cowardly fashion by the Sinhalese army.

Bottomline. LTTE rise to the occasion and retaliated injustice with injustice. Freedom of Tamils and recognition of Independent Tamil Eelam is their *ONLY* motto! No other pro-Tamil organization stood-up against the Sinhalese army like LTTE did and no other pro-Tamil organization will ever stand-up in the future like LTTE do!

There is a saying in Tamil: “Naam entha Ayutham Yenthugirom enbathai nam pagaivargal nirnayikirargal” (Our enemies decide what weapons we hold). LTTE were not given enough choice by the Sri Lanka Army but to hold Guns and bombs and Grenades and the related!

To the best of *my* knowledge, LTTE is the only army in the world that did not commit any sexual activity against women. I have come across so many reports of armies from major countries like India, USA, Germany, etc. committing utmost sexual harassment against women, but the ‘disciplined LTTE’ were *NEVER* infamous!!!

A paroxysm of writing!

In less than 45 days or so (20^th Jan 2009 to 07^th March 2009), Sri Lanka Army has killed 2683 innocent civilians in the island of Sri Lanka. Or so, a shocking UN-report says!

Sri Lanka Army shamelessly pursues the strategy of killing of innocent Tamils under the name of *flushing the LTTE rebels*.  Even more shameless is countries like India, USA, Britain, China, etc. does nothing except watching this genocide happening, and giving politically correct statements to make it to the daily headlines.

The part played by ruling government in India is abysmally stupid.  Helping Sri Lanka Army in all possible ways *under the table* to kill innocents who shares an umbilical relationship with its own citizens in Tamilnadu is no way going to take India near the *superpower* image. Ever!  The double-standard image of ruling govt. in India has been the subject of ridicule during the past few months.

Repeated mentioning of the assassination of Rajiv Gandhi pertaining to this matter only adds fuel to the flame. Top of all, Rajiv Gandhi was NOT India. He was a mere opposition party leader when he was assassinated.

A fundamental question needs to be answered at this point. Why so many innocents have to die in Sri Lanka just because one party leader was assassinated 20 years ago? How many innocent Sikhs were killed when Indira Gandhi (Prime minister) was assassinated? How many RSS followers were killed when Mahatma Gandhi (considered the Father of India) was assassinated? These are some of the questions that the ruling government does not like to be asked.

Another shameless thing being done by the ruling government is projecting to the world ‘as if the whole India is supporting the Sri Lanka army’ when this is clearly not the case?

People get bombed every day. There is no clear water. Food and safe shelter is beyond a daydream.  The news of ruthless killing of innocent civilians by artillery shells of Sri Lanka army is surprisingly inaudible to the ruling bureaucrats in India including ‘The President of India’ Ms. Pratibha Patel. I’m not even going to say anything about our Prime minister, Dr. Manmohan Singh, who is a mere ‘puppet’ caught in the hands of the ruling Congress party. (Dr. Singh – I’ve immense respect for you, but I’m surprised to see what you have actually done despite what you can actually do!)

LTTE will never give up battle. As long as there is a last drop of LTTE blood, the war against injustice will not cease.

I know what will be the end.  It is your turn to find out!!!

Abysmal Stupidity

The plummeting Indian Politics knew no bounds. 

Like we do not have so many embarrassing moments enough, it is still going strong and bad. Derogatory remark is almost the mother tongue of these so called ‘politicians’. 

The latest *infamous* person added to this list is Varun Gandhi. In a public speech, he unnecessarily irked the anger of Muslims by saying: 

“If anyone raises a finger towards Hindus, then I swear on the Gita that I will cut that hand.”

“This is not a hand; it is the power of the Lotus. It will cut the head of the Muslims.”

“When my cousin who is seven-eight years old, saw Samajwadi Party's candidate's photo, she said Bhaiya (big brother), I didn't know that Osama Bin Laden is fighting from your constituency. “

As expected, Varun Gandhi is going to deny that he did not say this. That this case was politically motivated to tarnish the image of his as well as his party. And as expected, like the rest of the politicians, he will be given Leeway to exit only to say more *infamous* words, because, of course, ‘Law exists only for poor and middle-class people who cannot have monetary or political influence’.

Unfortunately, religion has become a strong weapon of hold for these politicians. You say anything in favor of one religion you get hundred claps. You say anything against another religion, you get thousand claps. In this case, for example, Varun pretends as if he is the representative for all Hindus, and also, as if he will safeguard Hindus against *anything*. 

Here is an assignment to you Mr. Varun Gandhi – ‘the Hindu saviour’. Since majority of fatal attacks on Hindus in India come from outside, there is a much better thing you can do for saving ‘Hindus’ instead of merely talking. Pack your bags. Go to the India border and let your action speak! 

....And I like to Question the world!!!

Today is March 15, 2009.

1.       How many of you who is reading this article is aware that Sri Lanka army is *killing* innocent Tamil civilians every day during the past *three months*?

2.       How many of you knew this but did not even care? 

3.       How many of you know that the NGOs like Red Cross and the media personnel are denied by the Sri Lanka army from entering the war zone so that the true nature of Sri Lanka army is not revealed to the public?

4.       How many of you know the Sri Lank Army bombed schools, hospitals, etc. causing a threat to survival of Tamils?

5.       How many of you know that none of the Sri Lanka dailies portray the real picture of *Safe zone situation of IDP’s*?

6.       How many of you know that press, media, etc. cannot work independently in Sri Lanka? How many of you know about the Sri Lankan Lasantha Wickramatunge (Sunday Leader, editor) and how cunningly he was assassinated just because he portrayed the real time situation in Sri Lanka and protested against the Sri Lanka Govt.?

7.       How many of you actually read Lasantha’s *last* editorial posthumously published by the Sri Lanka newspaper Sunday leader?

8.       How many of you, including the people who work for CIA, RAW, Mossad, ISI, MI5, KGB, etc. ,and the people from 32 countries included in the Wikipedia section on LTTE, actually subscribed to the opinion that LTTE rebels were *terrorists* without knowing anything about their ‘motto’ and their rise to fame?

9.       How many of you know that *History* once categorized Nelson Mandela as a terrorist, whereas today there is a statue of him in front of the parliament in South Africa and he is called *Freedom fighter Nelson Mandela*?

10.   How many of you know that the person who *actually* helped India achieve her Independence is ‘Netaji’ Subash Chandra Bose – a person who is categorized as terrorist but as of today he is considered a freedom fighter?

11.   How many of you follow the situation closely, tried to compare the number of casualties perpetrated by LTTE rebels and Sri Lanka army soldiers, in order to rationalize this: ‘who is actually perpetrating terrorism’?

12.   How many of you actually believe that the Sri Lanka Tamil people getting killed every day were the LTTE rebels?

13.   And how many of you know that the LTTE rebels were once *trained* by Indian RAW? 

14.   How many of you know actually know that the same India is now training Sri Lanka Air force personnel because it is easy to create air-borne attacks on LTTE soldiers than attacks on Land?

15.   How many of you actually knew that India is lending a very good helping hand to Sri Lanka Army to commit the worst *genocide ever in the history of the world*?

16.   How many of you know that India is helping only to prevent Sri Lanka from getting any help from Pakistan, China or western countries?

17.   How many of you actually pay veneration and respect to Rajiv Gandhi despite knowing much about him? And how many actually knew *what* is the consequence of Rajiv Gandhi – Jayawardena treaty?

18.   How many actually knew what the so-called ‘Indian Peace Keeping Force’ did to Sri Lanka Tamils, especially to the women, while implementing the Gandhi-Jayawardena treaty? 

19.   How many American and U.K bureaucrats well aware of this *genocide* situation but still did nothing except giving *politically correct* statements to make it to the daily headlines?

20.   How many of you know what the UNO did to Kosovo and what the ‘UNO-can-do-but-don’t-do-till-today-to-Sri Lanka-Tamils’ despite the fact that situation is almost similar?  

21.   How many of you know that the victory of Sri Lanka Army over the LTTE during the last few months is primarily attributed due to the help provided by India, China, Israel, Pakistan, and a few western countries?

22.   How many of you can guess the fate of the war between *Sri Lanka army without any external guidance* and LTTE soldiers?

23.   And how many of you know that in India you cannot speak against the government and in favor of LTTE, and failing which will lead to imprisonment – a cowardly act to scare citizens and put barricade to their freedom of speech and expression of opinions? (The person who I admire the most, the Tamil Director Seeman, was arrested under the 'National Security Act for speaking in favor of LTTE rebels. Any person with a *sixth sense* will actually find his speech extremely relevant, logical and meaningful whilst a very tiny portion of people who is ruling India felt it was against the ruling Congress party and the party chief Ms. Sonia Gandhi. And the bottom line, the person I admire the most, Director Seeman, is now behind the bars. What a shame!!! We claim we have the largest democracy ever, however we do not let a person exercise his freedom of speech and expression of ideas. What a shame, Mother India!!!) 

24.   How many of you know the duplicitous role by Ms. Sonia Gandhi? (Giving pardon to Rajiv Gandhi killers on one hand and sponsoring the Sri Lanka govt. with arms, ammunitions, technical device and money on the other hand to kill our people under the name of killing LTTE’s!!!)

25.   And, last but not least, how many of you do not know the answers for *most* of these questions but still show-off as if they are ‘rational’ persons, and considers LTTE as terrorists, and the Government in Sri Lanka are doing their best to help the peace prevail, and the casualties in war is very common, and the government can’t negotiate with the terrorists, etc..and blah blah blah ..and all that nonsense?
