மறுக்கமுடியாத சுயநிர்ணய உரிமையைக் களைய முனையும் கூட்டாட்சிக் கோரிக்கை[Thu, 18 Dec 2025, 09:30 GMT] ஈழத்தமிழர் தேசம் மீது நீட்சியான கட்டமைக்கப்பட்ட இன அழிப்பு (protracted structural genocide) நுட்பமான வழிகளில் தொடரப்படாமல் இருப்பது உறுதி செய்யப்படுவது மட்டுமல்ல, குரூரமான சரீர இன அழிப்பு மீளவும் நிகழாது தடுக்கப்படுவதும் (nonrecurrence of physical genocide) ஈழத்தமிழர் தேசத்தின் களையவொண்ணா சுயநிர்ணய உரிமை (inalienable right of self-determination) ஒத்துக்கொள்ளப்பட்ட அரசியற் தீர்வு மூலம் மட்டுமே இயலுமாகும். ஆனால், தாயகம், தேசியம், இறைமை, சுயநிர்ணயம் போன்ற சொற்களை வெற்றுக் கூப்பாடுகளாகக் கையாளுவதில் தேர்ச்சி பெற்றுள்ள தேர்தல் அரசியற் கட்சிகள் ஈழத்தமிழர் சுயநிர்ணய உரிமையைக் கூட்டாட்சிக் (federation) கோரிக்கை மூலம் களைந்துவிடும் ‘அரசியல் முள்ளிவாய்க்காலை’ அரங்கேற்றிவருகின்றன. ஒரு புறம் ‘ஏக்கிய ராஜ்ஜிய’ என்ற குழிபறிப்பும் மறுபுறம் ‘கூட்டாட்சி’ என்ற கூப்பாடும் ஈழத் தமிழ்த் தேசிய விடுதலைக்கான பயணத்தைத் தடுமாறவைத்துத் துண்டாட எத்தனிக்கின்றன.

It has sought to build the support of the world to confront us. It is living in a dreamland of military victory. [...] It is true Tamil Eelam is a small nation on the globe. However it is a nation with great potential. It is a nation with a characteristic individuality. It has a distinctive language, cultural heritage and history. Sinhalam seeks with its military might to destroy all these. It seeks to destroy Tamil sovereignty and replace it with Sinhala sovereignty. [...] Let us all make a firm and determined resolution to follow fully the path of our Heroes, who, in pursuit of our aspiration for justice and freedom, sacrificed themselves and have become a part of the history of our land and our people.” - LTTE Leader V Pirapaharan [Heroes Day, 27 November 2008] Related Story >>  [05.03.18] FIU of CBSL emerges as networked Intel outfit against Tamils in homeland, Diaspora: The so-called Financial Investigative Unit (FIU) of the Central Bank of the unitary State of genocidal Sri Lanka (CBSL), which is led by a Colombo-based ‘Sri Lankan’ Tamil, Indrajith Coomaraswamy, is scheming rigid controls on Community-Based Organisations (CBOs) in the North-East with a ‘counter-insurgency’ role.

Related Story >>  [13.11.17] Factoring political solution more important than addressing human rights: Not only did the Sri Lankan regime won the war against the Tamil liberation force, it might even win the propaganda war if the problems of Tamils in the island are exclusively focused on human rights to the neglect of the fundamental question of a long lasting political solution, commented Deputy Chief Minister of Penang state in Malaysia, Professor P. Ramasamy, told TamilNet on Monday. Related Story >>  [08.10.17] SL constitutional discourse seen coupled with ‘Vision 2025’ policy of genocidal Sri Lanka: The World Bank, the IMF and the WTO are behind the agenda that seeks to permanently lock Eezham Tamils into a Colombo-centric single-unit of genocidal Sri Lanka.

It is the first book to develop an authoritative case for genocide against the Government of Sri Lanka under international law. The book is available from Clarity Press, Amazon in soft cover or in Kindle version.  [11.11.15] South Africa to Singapore: global Tamils grasping geopolitics to act: The South African conference held in Durban has come out with many demands that are dear to the heart of Tamils, such as demilitarisation, stopping Sinhala colonisation, repeal of the 6th Amendment to facilitate free negotiation etc. But the slip was still showing when the conference avoided the term genocide. What was more ironical that betrayed the deception was the slogan of the conference organizers that called the country they want to salvage as ‘Sri Lanka’, boldly written in Tamil. Related Story >>  [04.11.15] Tamil leadership need not shy away or react to unfair challenge coming from Sumanthiran: Eezham Tamil polity seeking pardon from Tamil-speaking Muslims should be unassuming, but it should come in an enlightening way to the edification of the Colombo-centric agenda or the powers-guided agenda, pursued in the past as well as in the present. Otherwise, it may only amount to conferring impunity to the State in Colombo and its abettors.
