The Hidden Genocide Of Tamils In Sri Lanka

By Thambu Kanagasabai - October 27, 2014
There is much debate going on in various circles, Human Rights Organization, Politicians, and Lawyers including International community on the question of genocide.
It has therefore become an important question and issue to analyze and make an opinion as to its applicability and consequent culpability for Sri Lankan Governments.
GENOCIDE IS DEFINED IN THE UN GENOCIDE CONVENTION AS FOLLOWS;
Any of the following acts committed with intent to destroy in whole or part of a national, ethnical, racial or religious group as such
1) Killing members of the group or
2) Causing serious bodily or mental harm to members of the group or
3) Deliberately inflicting on the group conditions of life calculated to bring about its physical destruction in whole or in part or
5) Forcibly transferring children of the group to another group
If one could study and analyze the acts of Sri Lankan government since 1956, one could clearly discern and discover the subtle, overt and covert measures, acts and laws aiming and targeting the liquidations of Tamils in Eelam: who are the original inhabitants of Eelam as confirmed by foreign, local, Sinhalese and Tamil historians.
The “Mahavamsa” – a puranic fiction with stories woven around the Sinhalese kings commencing from Vijaya a grandson of a wild lion which lived with his grandmother in a cave of 16 years, an unimaginable story, serves as the base for the rulers and ruled alike to consider Sri Lanka as belonging to Sinhalese. The chilling fact, assuming Vijayan’s story as true is Vijayan was neither a Sinhalese nor a Buddhist. He was a Naga Tamil who married the Tamil princess daughter of a Tamil Pandya king from South India.
