I am not going to discuss the rights or the wrongs of the Sri Lankan Tamil issue. Let me just discuss Sri Lanka as it relates to India. A few facts.
One of the first pieces of legislation in Sri Lanka’s parliament with independence in 1948 was to remove the vote from those of Indian descent, a population that had been in that island since the mid to late 1800s and one that contributed to the tea and rubber exports that made Ceylon the colonial ‘pearl of the Indian Ocean’. Guyana, Trinidad, Fiji, Malaysia, Singapore, Kenya, even apartheid South Africa did not expel the Indians nor deny them the vote. Sri Lanka and Burma were the only culprits. Under the Sirimavo Shastri Pact of 1963, the Indians were to be repatriated. Most were sent back to an India that their great grand fathers had left. Burma followed a similar course in 1962 under Ne Win with no treaty.
In the early 1950s, Sri Lanka was firmly in the Anglo Saxon orbit and challenged Nehru’s Non Alignment. In 1962, Sirimavo Bandaranaike de facto sided with China in the Indo-China war, a move that led Shastri to negotiate the repatriation treaty – an act of supreme appeasement. Only Malaysia and Bhutan sided with India – not Sri Lanka, not Indonesia, not Ghana – all of whom supported the Chinese position on what is today Arunachal Pradesh.
In 1971, Pakistani ships refuelled in Colombo enroute to East Pakistan to undertake the genocide, Bengali Hindus being disproportionately impacted.
In 1977, Jayewardene was all set to provide the Americans a de facto intelligence presence in the island until Indira Gandhi used the Tamil issue to neutralize his mischief.
In 1987, Prime Minister Premadasa called the Indians – ‘Pariah dogs’.
We see a similar but more suave trend under Rajapakse where the Chinese have been invited to explore petroleum reserves in the Sethu sea, known in Sri Lanka as the Palk Straits, Chinese housing projects for the Sri Lankan military in Sri Lanka’s north, a potential Chinese naval port in the deep south, and more intriguingly cooperation in outer space where China uses the bandwidth allocated to Sri Lanka under international space law to launch reported intelligence satelites to view India.
This brings me to the issue of Bangladeshi Hindus. The Hindus were 29% of East Bengal’s population in 1941. This declined to 22% in 1951, 18% in 1961, 14% in 1974 and now 9%. The systematic decimation of the East Bengali Hindu is to be deplored. One never saw the protests and mass movement against that ‘structural genocide’ if I may call it that in West Bengal. 3 million East Bengalis were killed in 1971, many disproportionately being Hindu. Now that’s a shame!
The Sri Lankan Tamil issue is not comparable. What you faced in Bangladesh was far worse. But you have to take your hats off to Tamil opinion in Tamil Nadu for keeping Sri Lanka on the Indian radar screen. I wish West Bengal had done likewise. Instead, West Bengal refused to give asylum to Tasleema Nasreen who played her own heroic part in exposing what had happened in Bangladesh.
So lets not defame the victim, our civilizational allies, our co-religionists and our supporters be they the East Bengali Hindu or the Sri Lankan Tamil Hindu. Its no point raising the LTTE bogey over and over again. I appeal for a Hindu dispassion and this otherwise good website from being a forum for anti-Sri Lankan Tamil views.
