The point again and again I'm making is, the LTTE were not made to pay as much the innocent civilians payed. That is the most important thing that you are disregarding. The majority does not care about the LTTE. We care about the Lankan Tamil civlians wo were killed as a form of revenge, as a form of sending a message, as a symbol of triumphalism.
Just trying to hide and cover up the entire war crimes being the LTTE bogey is not intellectually honest.The issue of war crimes goes far beyond that of LTTE. That is the first thing that needs to be recognized.
Indira Gandhi interfered not because of any love for Tamils but because of Lankan support to Pak during the 71 war and the persisting rumor of Lanka was planning on leasing either the Colombo or Tirikonamalai port to USN. No one asked her to interfere.
And Jayawardena tricked Rajiv into converting a peacekeeping force that should not have taken any sides and instead be a neutral arbiter of peace into an active LTTE-disarming force that exploded on our own face.
And it was the innocent civilians who paid the price for that for that revenge mentality.
The information trickled slowly to civilians like us. If you think that even Indian Govt was in the dark then either you are mis-informed or the Indian govt is so damn incompetent that it does not know what was happening in its own backyard irrespective of the outcry those days in TN.
Who asked for your sympathy for LTTE ? No one gives a jack about the LTTE. The entire focus is on the innocent civilians who were killed.
Then you are not informed about the perceptions of the Sinhalas. They hate India as a whole - Tamil or non-Tamil does not matter. They blame India for all their faults just like any other small country and think China is their messiah. And when people like me tell that , non-Tamils dont believe it, because apparently that would cause their stand to be weakened in an argument with the Tamil. I know how things work in online debates. So I am not going to press this point.
You can understand ? Can you tell me why they granted Pakistan logistical supply in the 71 war when LTTE was not formed or India was not meddling in their country ?
Its pointless because you refuse to see the point. You are convinced that whatever we Tamils say about Lanka must be a lie and the reality is exact opposite. I honestly dont know how I can convince you. The Lankans are already antagonistic of India and have decided who they are going to ally with. Disastorous consequences ? Are you even listening to yourself ? What can that country that is half the size of Tamil Nadu in India's rear do to us ? Are we that impotent to face even them ? But then again, seeing that even Maldives does not listen to India nowadays, Lanka is indeed a powerful country, relatively.
And yes, I would never forgive the Indian state for its callousness in condoning the massacre of my people there just because one terrorist organization killed its prince. It might seem irrelevant, but when a majority of the 72 million population have that feeling, it atleast shows the failure of the country to gain the trust of a significant portion of its population, for what it is worth.
Nepal - another failure of Indian foreign policy. It shows nothing but how shoddy nincompoops are manning the South Block.
