TAMIL EELAM TRANSNATIONAL GOVERNMENT: APPEAL TO NATIONS TO SUPPORT

[20th May 2009 in http://uk.360.yahoo.com/dravidaperavai ]

Political scientists term the globalization as one that leads to death of the nation. Some others predict that in future city states will be the order of the day. Tamils are now focusing their minds on how best they can define their transnational status. Indian citizens who live in other countries are bestowed with dual nationality status. Similar to that, Tamils should also be citizens of a Transnational State of Tamil Eelam and citizens of whichever country they live or opted to live. It is high time world recognizes a state without borders to preserve the language, culture and liberty of people uprooted from their traditional homeland. It will be a far fetched scheme or day dream to others who hear the Tamils demand for first time.

To fit the long term goal of Tamils to get back their lost homeland of Tamil Eelam with the support of the nations on earth or to remain forever in the lands of their current domicile, thought could be given to give concrete shape to create a Transnational State for Eelam Tamils. It will be like a state in space or like a virtual state in cyberspace, in no way infringing the governance of existing nations on earth.

Tamils dreamland is a homeland on Earth. Jews had their dream till they attained Israel, but that dream is born out of never healing wounds that continue to bleed over the annals of  two nations crossing swords without cessation of hostilities. Tamils being the peace loving citizens, who were driven by historical accidents to wield weapons to protect their soil and its people from ongoing genocide that had past half a century, are now at historical cross roads. Their protests had awakened the nations to their plight. Sympathetic voices and moral support from all men of conscience is offering them solace in this grave hour, when their kinsmen in the battlefields of Tamil Eelam have laid their lives for a just cause.

Hence Dravida Peravai appeals to the leaders of USA, UK, and France and of the European Union and to Norway which is sympathetic to Tamils to permit Tamil Diaspora to launch a Tamil Eelam Government in Exile. These Tamils must decide to opt for peaceful and democratic way of getting their homeland through diplomacy.

The Government of Tibet in Exile is in Tibet House 1, Calworth Street, London NW8 TAF Telephone: 0044-20-7722-5378. Tamil Diaspora in UK must get in touch with the Government of Tibet in Exile and must learn from them on how to run a Government of Tamil Eelam in Exile. The support democratic Britain gives for Tibetan Government will be also showered on the Government of Tamil Eelam in Exile. The armed struggle has ended. Tamils must rise above affinity towards the Marxian or Maoist underground movements of yester years of history, and look for fresh initiatives. One such could be emulating the example of the Tibetan Government in Exile headed by His Holiness Dalai Lama. Tamils must also know that the seat of the Tibetan Government in Exile is Dharmsala in North India. India patronizes Tibetan Government of Exile; why not it starts patronizing the Tamil Eelam Government in Exile. All the refugees placed in various refugee camps can become citizens of The Tamil Eelam Government in Exile, and all moneys towards refugees could be spent through the Tamil Eelam Government in Exile. Though for India to assimilate this idea will take a decade, Eelam Tamils can have their seat of Government in  London or whichever nations grants them permission to set the government in exile in its soil.

British Prime Minister Gordon Brown had expressed solidarity with Noble Laureate Aung San Sui Kyi, and western democracies are fully aware of the National coalition Government of Burma with Dr.Sein Win as Prime Minister. The elected Members of Parliament of Burma before people’s verdict was thrown to winds and democracy butchered in last decade, are the founding fathers of the Government in Exile. The Tamil Members of Parliament who hope to get better deal under the bullet fire of Srilankan President can exhaust their energies to get what has been denied to Tamils since independence. Once they get disillusioned they can be the nucleus of The Government in Exile of Tamil Eelam.

India who proclaims to be a friend of Tamils though ditching Tamils in dire need, must allow Tamils of Eelam to form their Government in Exile within Indian Territory. The Indian War of Independence saw the birth of the Provisional Government in Exile on 21st October 1943 headed by Nethaji Subash Chandra Bose. It took its inception in Singapore, and recalling the past precedent, India can permit the creation of Tamil Eelam Government in Exile. Of course India can choose who should head that Government, like Lord Mountbatten chose and propped up Jawaharlal Nehru from behind. This is not to belittle Nehru’s stature in the independence movement, but to remind preferences of powers too matter in propping up leaders of the Tamil Eelam Government in Exile.

Wikipedia states that Republic of Cabinda created in 1975 remains a Portuguese protectorate. The Government in Exile of the Republic of Cabinda is based on France; further that Government remains a protectorate of Portugal. Similarly India can be the protectorate for the Tamil Eelam Government in Exile, or France can be the patron. The issue is left in the hands of Tamil Diaspora to collectively decide. The exercise should also lay the foundation for a transnational state, the idea of which had to be lobbied and concrete shape to be given in future.

Lao’s People Democratic Republic since 1975 was based in Paris. Republic of Maluku Seltan claiming nation in Indonesia was based in Netherlands since 1950. The fact is west is aware of the concept of a Government in Exile, and Eelam Tamils must canalize all their thoughts to form such a government aiming to regain the lost homeland but in mean time cementing the bonds of comradeship that blossomed in the streets of the world where Tamils rubbed shoulders for a common cause to stop the Genocide of Tamils.

Setting the hands of the clock right

[Tamil Net, Monday, 01 June 2009, 20:04 GMT]

The Eezham Tamils and their political representatives have no obligation to anyone now, to engage in the deliberations of fruitless alternatives. But the world has an obligation now to tell the Tamils whether its opposition is to what it has perceived as 'terrorism' or to Tamil nationalism. The Eezham Tamil mainstream has a historic responsibility on its shoulders to be performed right now. If the oppression to their nationalism is trans-national, the Eezham Tamils have to respond by forming a trans-national government fully responsible to them based on democracy, to negotiate with the world and to look after their own affairs.

The foremost is the task of re-structuring the political struggle. All the anger, frustration and unfulfilled aspirations have to be now translated into positive energy of formulating a political idiom suitable enough for a global discourse to achieve liberation. Among the very few classical as well as living cultures of humanity, such as the Chinese, Hebrews and Arabs, the Tamils, especially the Eezham Tamils, have become an endangered identity. The world neither protected them nor allowed them to protect themselves. The response of Eezham Tamils to such a situation should suit their great cultural heritage. If the present world system is working against them in total and if the world doesn't have enough appetite to look into their righteous aspirations, then the Tamils matching to their civilization should come out with introducing something innovative and creative to the world system itself. If the oppression to their nationalism is trans-national, the Eezham Tamils have to respond by forming a trans-national government fully responsible to them based on democracy, to negotiate with the world and to look after their own affairs.

Needless to say, the appropriate beginning is re-mandating the fundamentals of Vaddukkoaddai Resolution, and based on that democratically endorsed commitment, electing representatives for a trans-national assembly and government. Eezham Tamils in Norway have already set a model for conducting democratic elections in Diaspora context. A publication on the procedures experimented in Norway are awaited soon. The Tamil request to the civilized world at this juncture is to support their democratic experiment and to listen to their democratic voices.
