மறுக்கமுடியாத சுயநிர்ணய உரிமையைக் களைய முனையும் கூட்டாட்சிக் கோரிக்கை[Thu, 18 Dec 2025, 09:30 GMT] ஈழத்தமிழர் தேசம் மீது நீட்சியான கட்டமைக்கப்பட்ட இன அழிப்பு (protracted structural genocide) நுட்பமான வழிகளில் தொடரப்படாமல் இருப்பது உறுதி செய்யப்படுவது மட்டுமல்ல, குரூரமான சரீர இன அழிப்பு மீளவும் நிகழாது தடுக்கப்படுவதும் (nonrecurrence of physical genocide) ஈழத்தமிழர் தேசத்தின் களையவொண்ணா சுயநிர்ணய உரிமை (inalienable right of self-determination) ஒத்துக்கொள்ளப்பட்ட அரசியற் தீர்வு மூலம் மட்டுமே இயலுமாகும். ஆனால், தாயகம், தேசியம், இறைமை, சுயநிர்ணயம் போன்ற சொற்களை வெற்றுக் கூப்பாடுகளாகக் கையாளுவதில் தேர்ச்சி பெற்றுள்ள தேர்தல் அரசியற் கட்சிகள் ஈழத்தமிழர் சுயநிர்ணய உரிமையைக் கூட்டாட்சிக் (federation) கோரிக்கை மூலம் களைந்துவிடும் ‘அரசியல் முள்ளிவாய்க்காலை’ அரங்கேற்றிவருகின்றன. ஒரு புறம் ‘ஏக்கிய ராஜ்ஜிய’ என்ற குழிபறிப்பும் மறுபுறம் ‘கூட்டாட்சி’ என்ற கூப்பாடும் ஈழத் தமிழ்த் தேசிய விடுதலைக்கான பயணத்தைத் தடுமாறவைத்துத் துண்டாட எத்தனிக்கின்றன.

Know the Etymology: 332 Place Name of the Day: (332 of 500 revised) Koyilā-maṉai/ Kōyilā-maṉai  The temple house; or the house of the temple servants  [26.11.25] Heroes Day: “With its greed for land, Sinhalam has entered a militaristic path of destruction. It has sought to build the support of the world to confront us. It is living in a dreamland of military victory. [...] It is true Tamil Eelam is a small nation on the globe. However it is a nation with great potential. It is a nation with a characteristic individuality. It has a distinctive language, cultural heritage and history. Sinhalam seeks with its military might to destroy all these. It seeks to destroy Tamil sovereignty and replace it with Sinhala sovereignty. [...] Let us all make a firm and determined resolution to follow fully the path of our Heroes, who, in pursuit of our aspiration for justice and freedom, sacrificed themselves and have become a part of the history of our land and our people.” - LTTE Leader V Pirapaharan [Heroes Day, 27 November 2008] Related Story >>  [05.03.18] FIU of CBSL emerges as networked Intel outfit against Tamils in homeland, Diaspora: The so-called Financial Investigative Unit (FIU) of the Central Bank of the unitary State of genocidal Sri Lanka (CBSL), which is led by a Colombo-based ‘Sri Lankan’ Tamil, Indrajith Coomaraswamy, is scheming rigid controls on Community-Based Organisations (CBOs) in the North-East with a ‘counter-insurgency’ role. Related Story >>  [15.02.18] Wives of enforced disappeared exposed to nightmare on Valentine's Day: At a stage event organised by the so-called Families of Disappeared (FoD) operated by Colombo based NGO and diplomatic community, Tamil women from the East were exposed to the traumatic experience of narrating their love stories with their husbands.

Related Story >>  [13.11.17] Factoring political solution more important than addressing human rights: Not only did the Sri Lankan regime won the war against the Tamil liberation force, it might even win the propaganda war if the problems of Tamils in the island are exclusively focused on human rights to the neglect of the fundamental question of a long lasting political solution, commented Deputy Chief Minister of Penang state in Malaysia, Professor P. Ramasamy, told TamilNet on Monday. Related Story >>  [08.10.17] SL constitutional discourse seen coupled with ‘Vision 2025’ policy of genocidal Sri Lanka: The World Bank, the IMF and the WTO are behind the agenda that seeks to permanently lock Eezham Tamils into a Colombo-centric single-unit of genocidal Sri Lanka. The interim report on the constitutional discourse should be seen coupled with ‘Vision 2025’, launched by the Agent State in Colombo in September 2017. Related Story >>  [20.09.17] Sathasivam papers on Sumerian-Tamil connections see the light of day: Four pioneering research papers on the Dravidian connections between ancient Sumerian and Tamil, written between 1964 and 1987 by Eezham Tamil scholar, the late Prof A Sathasivam, gain new significance today because of the current advancements in coupling linguistics with DNA studies. Related Story >>  [04.07.17] Understanding ‘Quisling politics’ and facing it with ‘Navaratnam School of Thought’: Eezham Tamils should grasp the synthesis of the Colombo-centric Quisling politics, which is being brought into them by the global powers and regain their strength to address it through the school of thought embraced by enlightened leaders of Eezham Tamils in the past.

Related Story >>  [20.02.16] The Tamil Genocide by Sri LankaThe second edition with over 150 new pages traces the ongoing engagement in the Sri Lankan conflict of Professor Francis A. Boyle, an eminent American expert in international law, from the conflict’s last years to the present pursuit of UN recognition of the Tamil genocide and call for reparations. It is the first book to develop an authoritative case for genocide against the Government of Sri Lanka under international law. The book is available from Clarity Press, Amazon in soft cover or in Kindle version.  [11.11.15] South Africa to Singapore: global Tamils grasping geopolitics to act: The South African conference held in Durban has come out with many demands that are dear to the heart of Tamils, such as demilitarisation, stopping Sinhala colonisation, repeal of the 6th Amendment to facilitate free negotiation etc. But the slip was still showing when the conference avoided the term genocide. What was more ironical that betrayed the deception was the slogan of the conference organizers that called the country they want to salvage as ‘Sri Lanka’, boldly written in Tamil. Related Story >>  [04.11.15] Tamil leadership need not shy away or react to unfair challenge coming from Sumanthiran: Eezham Tamil polity seeking pardon from Tamil-speaking Muslims should be unassuming, but it should come in an enlightening way to the edification of the Colombo-centric agenda or the powers-guided agenda, pursued in the past as well as in the present. Otherwise, it may only amount to conferring impunity to the State in Colombo and its abettors. Related Story >>  [06.05.15] Retired land commissioner of Eastern Province on Structural Genocide against Eezham Tamils: The systematic seizure of traditional lands belonging to the Tamil speaking people of the North-East have been widespread under the guise of archaeological, forest and wild-life conservations and subsequently carried out through the acts of demarcating these lands under the purview of the state apparatuses such as the Archaeological Department, Forest Department and the Wild-life Conservation Department, says retired Land Commissioner of the Eastern Province Karthirgamathamby Kurunathan, in an in-depth video interview to TamilNet. Related Story >>  [05.05.15] TNPF rejects ‘domestic investigations’ upheld by USA: The fact that the United States and the US Secretary of State John Kerry would consider the post January 08th 2015 situation in Sri Lanka, with the new government favourable, is understandable. But, for him to suggest that there is a favourable condition for the Tamils, is stretching too far, said Tamil National Peoples Front (TNPF) Leader Gajendrakumar Ponnambalam, responding to a question from TamilNet.
