18 May is not for repackaging surrender[Mon, 18 May 2026, 12:19 GMT] 18 May is not a day for empty remembrance. It is a day that tests whether Eezham Tamils will remain faithful to the political meaning of Mu'l'livaaykkaal and Vaddukkoaddai, or allow both to be folded back into a ‘safer’ language of accommodation. The issue is not whether formulas can be drafted. It is whether a people whose claim rests on homeland, sovereignty, and the insistence that Tamil political status was never validly surrendered should once again be pushed into recasting that claim as an internal arrangement within the very state whose legitimacy they dispute. That, in essence, is what lies behind the current push toward “maximum devolution” and similar formulas. Rather than opening a new path, it risks drawing Eezham Tamils back into the constitutional grammar of containment. Full story >>

The Resolution did not merely speak of abstract self-determination, improved internal arrangements or ‘maximum devolution’ within Sri Lanka. It explicitly called for the “Free, Sovereign, Secular, Socialist State of Tamil Eelam,” a position democratically endorsed by the 1977 TULF mandate. Yet today, while the Vaddukkoaddai Resolution is ceremonially commemorated, attempts persist to dilute its juridical and political meaning through federalist internalism, symbolic international lobbying and post-2009 narratives that detach Eezham Tamil nationhood from sovereignty.

It demands a fundamental reassessment of the assumptions that have gradually come to govern political engagement since the end of the genocidal war in 2009. What is at stake today is not merely the content of constitutional proposals, but whether the Tamil political project itself is being quietly stripped of its historical, legal, and moral foundations. This erosion has not occurred overnight. It has unfolded through a slow narrowing of political imagination, in which positions once regarded as foundational have been recast as impractical, excessive, or even dangerous.

Full story >>TNPF deploys ‘Federalism’ to dislodge Tamil Self-Determination and the Referendum call[Sat, 03 Jan 2026, 14:10 GMT] When the now-defunct Tamil People’s Council (TPC) released its federal proposals in 2016, TamilNet warned that the draft risked diluting the Tamil national question under Colombo-centric constitutionalism and externally driven “solutions.” Nearly a decade later, those warnings warrant renewed scrutiny for a clear and concrete reason. The All Ceylon Tamil Congress, also known as the Tamil National Peoples’ Front (TNPF) and currently represented in Parliament by a single member, continues to uphold the TPC proposals as a valid political framework. At the same time, certain European institutions, often through externally funded initiatives, promote Belgian or Swiss models as templates for the island. This risks reframing the Tamil question within donor-driven containment strategies rather than addressing its political substance.

As Washington faces increasing difficulties in sustaining its naval and military presence in the Gulf due to Iranian missile capabilities, drone warfare and maritime interdiction strategies, the island’s geographical position, naval infrastructure and longstanding defence ties with the United States are once again assuming major geopolitical significance.

Situated at a critical maritime crossroads, the island is becoming increasingly significant within the evolving strategic calculations of competing global powers.

A closer constitutional reading reveals the opposite. While employing the language of pre-constitutional agreement, inalienable self-determination, sovereignty, homeland, and claims of popular legitimacy through referendum, the framework systematically contracts each of these claims through clause design and enforcement logic. What emerges is not transition, but neutralisation by design.

We have today three powerful agencies in the creation of public opinion: the press, motion pictures, radio. Ours then is the duty to see that these agencies through adherence to the highest ideals of truth, justice and fair play are maintained as public agencies for the creation of wholesome relationships among the various cultural, religious, racial and economic interest groups which make up the American people. The sum of these complex and composite interests constitutes what we mean by American Democracy.
