Be an upright nation or perish

An independence day message to India

| by A.R.Arudpragasam

( August 15, 2013, Geneva, Sri Lanka Guardian) India should own what it did in Sri Lanka.

India’s decision to hand over the victory over the LTTE and take cover behind the chauvinist Sri Lankan army has led to the upsurge of Sinhala chauvinism in Sri Lanka.

India only excels as a cowardice nation with an army of 1.4 million cowards in the eyes of the world and Tamil people, if you don’t tell what happened and your role in defeating the LTTE.
After the defeat of the LTTE, did Prime minister Manmohan Singh telephoned Rajapakse and tell him , “ You are now the President of all of Sri Lanka ?”.

India’s cowardice behavior has led to the Appi Dinug “ ( we won ) devil dance of Rajapakse and the Sinhalese. The irresponsible behavior of India has made any solution to the ethnic problem difficult and turned Tamils into a defeated nation.

India was physically present in the theater of war claiming it is there to protect the civilians. Then how comes so many innocent Tamil civilians were killed. Doesn’t India owe an explanation to the world on this? Are you not accountable for the death of civilians? Did you not provide the target to the Sri Lankan army? What happened really?

India did not want to discuss the political solution beforehand in case it upsets the military scheme of defeating LTTE.

India only excels as a cowardice nation with an army of 1.4 million cowards in the eyes of the world and Tamil people, if you don’t tell what happened and your role in defeating the LTTE.

After killing Bin Laden did the Americans take cover behind the Pakistani Army and said,” What a great thing you have done in killing Bin Laden” to Pakistan ?.

Before I decide to tell what really happened and seal the image of India as a cowardice nation, as an upright nation, tell us how you killed Prabakaran and why you killed him and his family. Was it revenge or is it because he was a threat to India?

13th Amendment is not a solution to the ethnic problem. It is the most duplicitous and disgraceful constitutional document ever produced in history of humankind. You should find a solution on the basis, Tamileelam belongs to Tamil people, Sinhala Ratta belongs to Sinhala people and Sri Lanka belongs to all Sri Lankans. There is a nationality problem and there is the problem of minorities within the two nationalities.
