Killing Fileds of Nandikadal

War Crimes

Aronite thinking differs with the line taken by LTTE and its leadership and does not absolve their side of infraction of Human Rights. Having said that, the grisly record of the Sri Lanka in conducting this most shocking and barbaric violation of human lives and dignity, with a singular Militarist thrust of decimating a Rebel outfit, needs to be brought out. Together with the collusion of Indian state prompted not beyond questioning a personal vendetta of a leader for her slain husband, the most shameful conduct of self appointed and self proclaimed tamil leaders who had started this conflict course with a sinhalese majority based on seperatist tamil idenitity, and ditched them at a dire straits and a life and death situation, all needs be studied.

Further the future course of Elam tamils too must be redefined. It is presently poor in communication skills harping on the guerilla movement that had ended with so much loss, rather than on Human Rights that were thrown to the winds and the need to win back Tamils their legitimate rights and reasonable demands for self governance. This cannot be done, as long as old Fascist political culture is retained instead of a new beggining with a democratic orientation and peaceful means of struggle.
