I had a conviction of not trusting bloody Singhalese. These are blood
thirsty animals. These monkeys are killing in the name of Buddha and claim
innocent and hide under yellow robe. This article is illustrating how these
educated monkeys work. I personally have experience like this. These monkeys
act like innocent and recite in pali Buddha's teaching and have killer
insting like lion. My be it is their forefather's DNA!!! - KS...

What is the Relationship of Rama and Sita? - The Question the Sinhala Nation
Asks at Dawn
by D. Sivaram, Virakesari, October 10, 2004

translated by M. Thiru

In response to my article last week Chandranathan has written his view.

"The Sinhalese people are kept in an illusion by their leaders and
opinionmakers. Therefore, we should make a continuous effort to convince at
least a few of the Sinhalese to understand our views/problems." He sent
this e-mail via the Tamilnatham website which re-posted my article from
Virakesari.

I am not opposing his views. There should be no second thought about taking
our reasonable views to the Sinhalese people on a regular basis. However,
my genuine concern is that we should not fall into the illusion that such
acts from us will result in receiving our rights from the Sri Lankan rulers.
We have been experiencing massive destruction in the last 50 years because
of the acts of the Sinhala supremacists. Yet how much effort we have put
into scientifically analysing and comprehending such destruction? Except
for a few research papers in the Sari Nihar journal, I have not seen any
other effort made in our Tamil intellectual circles to analyse and
comprehend Sinhala Buddhist supremacy, its history, its views and its
related social and psychological dimensions. (If you know any such work,
please let me know.)

Recently I went to a conference that was attended by a number of professors,
writers, journalists and opinionmakers from the South. At that conference
the organisers asked me to explain the political aspirations of the Tamil
people. The Tamil people and their leaders, who have been fluent in English
and in Sinhalese, along with reporters, and intellectuals, all have been
talking and writing what our political grievances and demands are for the
last 56 years.

Not only that, the Tamils have been talking with, or putting forward their
demands and fighting against, the various governments by peaceful means for
28 years ( 1948 - 1976) and using armed struggle for 28 years ( 1976 -
2004). It is a known fact that bombs went off among the Sinhalese because
none of the Tamils' political demands were met. Even an intellectually
retarded person will definitely ask questions why bombs are going off around
him and why an international airport is attacked and badly damaged.

But , even after all this, the Sinhalese are still asking what are the
political aspirations of the Tamils and what are your demands? Such a
situation still prevails in the Sinhala nation. "For over half a century,
the Tamil people have been explaining their political aspirations and
demands in and out of Parliament and in the international arena, until their
jaws cannot move. Even after all this, you are still asking me what are the
Tamils' aspirations and demands? It is a sin. I cannot speak about this,"
I told them.

The sweetest matter at the conference was that the majority of the people
who attended really did not know what the political demands of the Tamils
are. After all the events in the last 56 years, if they cannot comprehend
what our demands are, I do not know how they are going to understand now.

With regard to our political demands, the question the Sinhala nation asks
is similar to someone asking in the morning, "What is Rama's relationship
with Seetha?" after listening to the whole Ramayana epic through the night.

Those who advocate that we must make the Sinhalese people understand our
political demands must analyse one issue. One has to think a little and
ask, "Why is the Sinhala Nation not understanding us, even after 56 years of
many talks and fights?" "How can we now convert those who have refused to
understand us, and who have not cared to understand us for over a half a
century?"

In this regard, we have to look at one more important point. From the
beginning of the 20th Century, the Sinhalese politicians and the
opinionmakers who, at one time, understood the Tamil grievances and their
reasonable political demands, have changed for the worse over time and have
taken complete U-turns on the Tamil issue.

Every one of you knows that, after returning from his education in England,
President Chandrika's father, SWRD Bandaranayake, advocated that Sri Lanka
must be converted to a federal system with three federal regions : Kandyan
region, Lower Country or Coastal region, Tamil homeland (region).

What did he do after that ?

Likewise, the Communist Party of Sri Lanka in its 1944 National Conference
passed a resolution emphasizing that the Tamils should be granted self-rule.
The same Communist Party, together with the SLFP, declared in 1972 that Sri
Lanka is a Sinhala Buddhist nation.

What did one of the veteran leftist leaders and a pillar of the LSSP, Colvin
R de Silva, who prophesied " One language, two nations and two languages,
one nation" on the implementation of Sinhala Only act in 1956, actually do??
He was the prime mover in rewriting the Sri Lankan constitution to make Sri
Lanka a unitary Sinhala Buddhist state in 1972.

The above are old stories that you all know. Let us take the period in
which our struggle for our rights became an armed struggle. From the late
1970s on, the JVP emphasised that the Tamil rights for self-determination
must be approved.

On this basis, many Tamil youths from Batticaloa and Jaffna joined the JVP
and served the JVP. What happened after that?

In 1986, Rohana Wijeyaweera, the leader of the JVP, in his long speech to
the central committee of JVP, established that the Tamil liberation struggle
is an imperialistic conspiracy and categorically said that it must be
crushed. His speech was compiled as a book later. To date that book is the
political bible of the JVP.

Around 1973, some of the educated left wing non-JVP Sinhalese youths formed
an organisation called the "Stalinist Education Circle." This organisation
gave importance to the Tamil liberation organisations, writing and speaking
about them. This organisation also established some connections with some
of the armed Tamil liberation organisations. (Pe. Muthulingam who writes
for the weekend edition of Virakesari was connected to this organisation at
that time.)

One of the main speakers in the Stalinist Study Circle ( STC), who spoke
about the Tamil rights and their right for self determination and who
justified the Tamils armed struggle, was Dayan Jayatilleke. Not only that,
he and his comrades formed an armed organisation called "Vikalpa Kandayama."

With the leftist ideologies as their base, the STC joined with some of the
Eelam liberation organisations, and worked for the self-determination for
the Tamils. I used to meet them in Kandy and Colombo and had discussions
with them. (Nobody can underestimate the impact of the analysis and sharp
explanations put forward by Dayan Jayatillake on the liberation wars in the
third world and on oppression by imperialists worldwide.)

Vikalpa Kandayama was banned in 1986 on the accusation that it conspired to
topple the Sri Lankan government. Dayan Jayatilake went into hiding. The
Sri Lankan police and the armed forces were combing the country looking for
him. When he was about to be captured, he contacted me.

Even many of the good friends of Dayan Jayatilake refused to help me when he
had flee from his hiding place in Colombo. In the end, we managed to take
him from his hiding place to another safe place outside Colombo. We did
this after taking him to see the late Vijaya Kumaratunge, actor and husband
of Chandrika Kumaratunge, at midnight. Vijay Kumaratunge helped me. (In
this regard, without even asking his wife Chandrika or anybody else, he
helped me immediately. He was a unique person.)

Dayan Jayatilleke later escaped to India. Then, after getting pardoned by
the SL government, he came back to Sri Lanka and became a minister in a
Regional Council.

What is Jayatillake, a person who moved intimately with the Tamil liberation
organisations, doing today? Today, he writes without cease how the Tiger
liberation struggle should be crushed.

Once an extreme opponent of American imperialism Jayatillake writes week
after week emphasizing that Sri Lanka should seek collaboration with theUS
to crush the military power of the Tamils.

In those days Jayatillake used to write and say that we must go beyond
Sinhala-Tamil differences and fight against American imperialism and fight
for the class struggle.

Such a nice friend of mine, Dayan Jayatilleke, now writes in the Island
newspaper that "We [i.e. the Sinhalese and Sinhala nation] must seek the
support of the US to crush the military power of the Tamils." What happened
to him?

Is that all?

During the period of 1984/86, on behalf of People's Liberation Organization
of Tamil Eelam, I was involved in revolutionary work, a broad one in a
united Sri Lanka, by forging alliances with Sinhalese Groups in the South.

At that time, the most important connection for me in Colombo was Dr. Nalin
de Silva of the Mathematics Department at Colombo University. I used to go
to his office to see two of his young students. They were directly helping
me on our political struggle. Dr. Silva always treated me nicely. Not a
single day was he scared or frightened to socialize with me. He was never
shocked by me carrying a pistol.

What is he doing today?

He is the head of the think tank "Jathika Chinthanaya," which is based on
the fundamentalism of Sinhala Buddhist supremacy.

What happened to him? Whenever he sees me, he is nice to me. But he
continues to emphasize that Sri Lanka is a Sinhala Buddhist land.

There is no point having connections only with the leftist groups in the
South, if we want to take forward our struggle by justifying it to the
Sinhalese people. We have to talk to the SLFP which is well rooted and
spread among the Sinhalese. I put this view to PLOTE and it was accepted.
I contacted Mangala Munasinghe, an important opinion maker and thinker in
the SLFP. I also knew him from before.

Munasinghe told me that he would introduce me to a person who was part of
the future top circle of the SLFP party. It was Thilak Karunaratne.
Munasinghe introduced me to Karunaratne. The relationship between
Karunaratne and our organisation became very close within a short period.

Our cadres started to stay in his residence in Colombo and in his
constituency in Banadragama. They did a lot of work for him. (Some of our
bullets were found in his car and the case against him was dragged for a
long time). In the history of Sinhala-Tamil political relationship, the
help he did at a crucial time was important. The help was the effort he
made to get assistance from a foreign country to completely topple the Sri
Lankan government through an armed struggle.

Karunaratne and his family always moved with my comrades and me in a
friendly and kind manner, which cannot be forgotten forever. What happened
to such a person like Tilak Karunaratne? Why has he started the Sinhala
Buddhist extremist party "Sinhala Urumaya?"

Is that all ?

'Only by granting the rights of self-determination for Tamils can we solve
the racial problem.' This is the view Chandrika categorically said on the
issue. By allowing my friends and me to stay in their house in Colombo,
Chandrika and her husband helped us to do our work in Southern Sri Lanka.
During that time Chandrika used to tell me, "Do not speak to anyone who does
not accept the rights of the Tamils for self-determination." ( Her husband,
Vijaya Kumaratunge, was kind and supportive of our people and our liberation
struggle, but he was assassinated by the JVP).

What happened to this kind of Chandrika, the President? Why did she unleash
the horror of the "War for Peace" on Tamils?

If we have to find explanations for all these, then we have to do an
in-depth analysis of the psyche of the Sinhala Nation. Based on that alone
can we firm up our approach on how to deal with the Sinhala nation.

I don't know or care who the Tamil or Sinhalese are, and I imagine no one
else does either.

I just wish they would all kill each other so we wouldn't have to be
bothered with you're off-topic posts on the subject anymore.

You should consider going to work for the Bush administration. That way you
could just go in and kill them yourself and hasten the process. Invent any
excuse, like they have weapons of mass destruction, call them evil doers,
axis of evil, etc.
