It is shocking to hear that Hon. MP Nadarajah Raviraj was shot and killed in Colombo. Mr. Raviraj was a brave politician, and always raised his voice for Tamils. He voiced against the extra-judicial killings and forced disappearances by Sinhala military and government in Tamil Eelam and Colombo. He took part in a demonstration Thursday against the Sri Lankan Army shelling in Vaharai where 47 Tamil civilians, Internally Displaced from Trincomalee, were killed. Tamils know that this killing is certainly a work of the Sinhala state terrorists. The sad thing is that the killing is not going to stop.

The Sinhala government will continue to kill Tamils. This is what successive Sinhala governments have been doing persistently since 1948. Tamils know this reality, but they cannot change anything. After a little glitch, Tamils will do their business ‘normally’ under the gun point of the Sinhala military. This type of “normalcy” will continue until another Tamil politician or a Tamil civilian massacre happen. Will Tamils want to allow this cycle to continue, and each of them waits until their time to come and get killed by the Sinhala state terror machine? The Sinhala state terror machine uses air force, navy, army, police, and paramilitary to kill Tamils. The international community supply mass destructive weapons and logistics to kill Tamils. The international community wants the Tamils to die without fight against Sinhala state terror machine. This is a naked reality. Isn’t it?

Tamils lost their lands, lives, several intellectuals, activists, dedicated politicians, brave heroes and many civilians, and we know all these atrocities were committed by Srilankan state terrorists. More than 70,000 Tamils killed and several hundred thousands displaced. Several thousands disabled. Some of the Tamils live under the Sinhala state terror military open prison. Some of them who decided to fight rather than die one by one live without any basic supplies. Tamil Diaspora has enough wealth to help Tamils in Tamil Eelam, but Sinhala nation and the world has tied their hands with a so called “terror ban”. Even TRO’s (Tamils Rehabilitation Organization) funds were frozen which is the one and only NGO that helps Tamils.

Tamil Eelam demography is completely changed. The south Tamil Eelam had been colonized by the Sinhala thugs and criminals, and northern Tamil Eelam has been occupied by state terror evil forces. After all these sufferings, the international community still turns their back to Tamils. Tamils clearly know that the Sinhala nation’s aim is to eliminate Tamils. It is crystal clear that no one will save Tamils. Yes, it is sad, but it is the reality.

From world supper power to neighboring India, is against Tamils. Pakistan, China, Israel, and UK happily provide material and logistic support to Sinhala state to kill Tamils. EU, Australia and Canada banned the Tamil leadership, and encouraged the Sinhala state terror machine to go on rampaging. Sinhala state or nation never changed and certainly will not change. If we do a reality check, the result is that Tamils in Tamil Eelam and Sri Lanka will be eliminated. The past 55 years history clearly proved this fact. We don’t need rocket science, but just need to look at the demographic chart. Over the last 50 years, at least 40 % of the Tamil population reduced.

The Sinhala government has a habit of blaming LTTE for everything, and the international community has a habit to accept anything that Sinhala government says. It is understood that most of the colonization and massacres happened even before LTTE was born. The reality is that Sinhala government never let the Tamils live peacefully, and it will continue to kill Tamils until the Tamil race is completely erased from Tamil Eelam. The Sinhala polity will use few Tamil traitors until they eliminate majority of Tamils and then will eliminate the Tamil traitors as well. These are certainly not fictions. If someone carefully look at the pattern in the past, this is easily predictable.

How this Tamil genocide can be stopped? Tamils do not enough financial or military power to make any change on Sinhala nation or international community. However, Tamil have to make a decisive decision, and use its full force to achieve it. The decision was already made in 1977, and a clear mandate exists. In 1977, the Tamil leader Thanthai Selva said “only God can save the Tamils”. At that time, Tamils had no choice other than fight against Sinhala state terrorism.

Instead of asking for peace, federalism, food, or normalcy, Tamils must clearly put forward “Tamil Eelam” as a solution, and campaign only for that solution. Tamils must placed their demand very straight forward, expose the Sinhala state terrorism, and request the world to force Sri Lanka to withdraw the Sinhala deadly military from Tamil Eelam.

The world may refuse, but it doesn’t really going to change anything. In the past 5 years, Tamils asked for federalism and peace, what we get now is “banned”, “punished”, “killed”, “open prison” and “de-merged”. In this current situation, again, Tamils have no choice other than fight for freedom from the Sinhala evil forces. Do they have any other choice?
