Sachi Sri Kantha writes from Japan - A Flashback to LTTE Leader Pirabhakaran’s 1995 Interview "...Now it has become a ‘must item’ in Colombo, Chennai and elsewhere for the ‘analysis peddlers’ and the literate coolies of media moguls to study and check the script of LTTE leader Pirabhakaran’s annual Heroes Day Message. Here is a select list of half-baked opinions which have appeared since November 27th..." more 3.A Visitor from USA- Subject: Heard in Internet Circles "Dear Sumane. ..First of all Ana Pararajsingham is an old Royalist few years younger to us. He was totally non racist and came from a good Christian family. He is a FCMA. He used to work as an accountant in Zambia and got immigration to Australia. He came back with his wife of one year, on-route to Australia. He chose July 1983 to make this journey. Both his house in Borella and his wife's house in Wellawatte was torched and they lost most of their stuff but escaped with their lives. He was in a camp in Methodist College in Colpetty before he flew off. He really is a very nice regular guy. Of course now he knows that living under a Sinhala government under any circumstances is not a feasible option..." more |

Nadesan Satyendra - Sri Lanka Reneges on 2002 Oslo Declaration and on 2005 P-TOMS Agreement "...Mr.Mahinda Rajapakse is an honourable man. It is simply that as Sri Lanka President, he finds it expedient to dishonour the undertakings that his country had given - and resile from agreements that his country had signed. It appears that he is intent on proving, yet again to the Tamil people something which Sathasivam Krishnakumar said 14 years ago.." more 2. Eye of the storm? "...Within hours of the Sri Lanka’s election commission announcing Mr. Rajapakse’s vote tally had surpassed the requisite 50%, the new Norwegian government extended its congratulations and extended a clear offer to resume peace facilitation.

International Federation of Tamils - Sri Lanka Presidential Elections: Back to Square One - "..The results of the recent Presidential election in Sri Lanka should serve as an eyeopener to the International Community (IC) to see for itself, the actual conditions prevailing in the island and formulate a suitable and pragmatic policy re-structure, in order to install permanent peace and promote development in the turbulent island and the South Asia region..." more |
25 November 2005 Tamilnation Library to include  Book Release - Pirabhakaran Phenomenon by Sachi Sri Kantha - From the Author - "A Book to Honor Pirabhakaran - I have the pleasure in announcing to the readers that my Pirabhakaran Phenomenon series [which had appeared in the electronic medium, from 2001 and 2003] has been edited, updated and compiled into a book with physical dimensions. From November 26th, it is being offered as an educational resource for the researchers, diplomats, journalists, students and interested well wishers of Eelam Tamils. ‘A writer’s greatest pleasure is revealing to people things they knew but did not know they knew’, wrote one of my favorite humorists, Andy Rooney, an American icon. In this book, I have tried my best to follow this dictum of Rooney. What I have written about Pirabhakaran is ‘known’ to all Eelam Tamils. But, as Andy Rooney noted, I have tried to shed light on Pirabhakaran’s character and skills which have escaped the glance of many pundits..." more |
25 November 2005 Reflections to include "...To remember the dead is the duty of the living.. Our hope for freedom as a people and a nation should never be de-linked from the past. Forgetfulness of the past is a social sin. Memory is a virtue. .. The refusal to communicate or transmit an experience that embodies the collective suffering, anguish, misery, helplessness, torture and even brutal death of a people amounts to the betrayal of the very people. We have to struggle with words against the mute silence of the international community that did nothing to prevent the death of women and children. There are many nations that crow loudly about human rights but these very nations became accomplices in the genocidal scheme of the State of Sri Lanka....” Prof. Chandrakanthan at the Maaveerar Memorial Service in Toronto, 28 November 2003 |

Robert Burns wrote more than two hundred years ago - “The best-laid plans of mice and men, often go astray - And leave us naught but grief and pain, For promised joy.” Denied of the promised joy, it appears that grief and pain has led the US State Department to deny reason ..." more |

What the Sinhala electorate in Sri Lanka wants is a ‘unitary government’, where the Sinhala-Buddhist majority rules all aspects of everyone’s life in Sri Lanka all the time, and all ‘others’ have to put-up and shut-up. What I want to ask the international community now is this. What exactly do you want the Tamil people to do?.." more |

18 November 2005 Reflections to include | ''I was once asked by an Englishman connected with the British Refugee Council: 'You say Tamil Eelam, but where are the boundaries of this Tamil Eelam that you talk about? Show me.' I was taken aback by the directness of the question. I thought for a while, searching for an appropriate response. Then I replied: 'Take a map of the island. Take a paint brush and paint all the areas where Sri Lanka has bombed and launched artillery attacks during these past several years. When you have finished, the painted area that you see - that is Tamil Eelam.''' Sathasivam Krishnakumar, speaking in Zurich, on Maha Veerar Naal, in November 1990, quoted in Boundaries of Tamil Eelam |

The object of war must therefore be defined as follows: the object of war is to change the enemy's mind.

15 November 2005 Revisited: 12 Years Ago - Sri Lanka's Unwinnable War - Nadesan Satyendra, December 1993 | "....Instead of reading out chunks of Robert Thompson to his restive Parliamentary colleagues, Prime Minister Wickremasinghe may have more usefully heeded the words of his own Cabinet Minister, Savyamurthy Thondaman in March 1992: ''If you mean defeating the LTTE, it could in my opinion be equated to defeating every single Tamil in the North-East. One thing is clear. You cannot isolate the LTTE from the rest of the Tamil people. Wiping out the LTTE means wiping out the Tamils. Until there are Tamils there will be a LTTE hard-core. Remember that the LTTE... is seeking to express the aspirations of the Tamil people..''... That is why Sri Lanka's war against the LTTE is unwinnable. .." more |

14 November 2005 Democracy Continues, Sri Lanka Style to include | One Party State in Sri Lanka:Political Ideology - Anti Tamil "...Recent revelations have confirmed that there may be several political parties in the Sinhala South, but only one ideology – being anti-Tamil.

Dear Prof. Jayatilleke, I am not a Professor or any kind of intellect. I am an ordinary Tamil living in a corner of the world. I long for peace in my country of birth just as you do. On reading the news item: ‘Realignment of Sinhala Nationalist forces spells trouble for Sri Lanka Peace – Gajendrakumar’ [TamilNet, November 05, 2005], my heart urges me to share with you some candid thoughts that came to my mind.

I have studied something of psychology though I have not read many books on psychology. Such a man knows exactly what it is. That something in me which never deceives me tells me now: "You have to stare the world in the face, although the world may look at you with bloodshot eyes. Do not fear. Trust that little thing which resides in the heart. " It says: 'Forsake friends, wife, and all; but testify to that for which you have lived, and for which you have to die.

Sara Ananthan from Australia on Pragmatism and Idle Talk of Vedanta "Talking about Vedanta appears to be a favourite past time amongst some of us to lull others into inaction. But inaction leads to lethargy and bondage as we can see in the plight of Tamils from two thousand years of our history. Speaking for the voiceless and the oppressed is Dharma. Asking for equality and fighting against inequality is the birth right of every human being. To hoodwink that right by invoking Vedanta is amoral..." more 2.
