Sri Lanka: US Report On LTTE A Caution For India, Too - Analysis - Eurasia Review

Dear Sathiya Moorthy,

You are a director of Chennai Chapter of the Observer Research Foundation. It is surprising that an educated Tamil like you can stoop so low as to condemn fellow Tamils and support the Sinhalese. Please remember that the Tamils had always been friends of India, and the Sinhalese had been anti-Tamil and anti-India. Right now the Chinese have moved right up to the north of Sri Lanka, facing Tamil Nadu. That doesn't seem to be of any concern to your research. When Prabhakaran was controlling the Tamil Homeland, the Chinese made no attempt to infiltrate into SL

During all the wars India fought with its neighbours, Sri Lanka was against India. During the Chinese invasion along the Himalayas, Sri Lanka supported China. During both the wars against Pakistan, SL supported Pakistan. When India banned overhead flights of Pakistani planes in 1970s, SL gave Pakistan fuelling facilities in Colombo. All these didn't seem to bother you.

India and China are two big countries in Asia. India was ruled by foreigners for the past thousand years, before it regained it independence in August 1947, while China retained its independence, right throughout its history. Why? The Indians were so disunited that they invited the foreigners to fight their fellow internal enemies. The invading Muslims took advantage of this Indian attitude and gained a foothold in India, when the Muslim commander Ghuri defeated Prithviraj Chauhan at the Battle of Tarain in 1192. Instead of regrouping and driving the Muslims out of India, the successive leaders came to terms with the Muslims. One Rajput leader offered his daughter in marriage to Akbar and the Rajput leaders became backbone of the Muslim army to fight fellow Hindus. Thus the rest of India fell into Muslim hands.

The same thing happened, when the Europeans took over India. Joseph-François Dupleix, the French governor of Pondicherry from 1742 to 1754 made this observation. The Indian princess were often fighting for the thrown. If the French support the weaker prince against the stronger one and put him on the throne, the French could take control of the state and its economy.

The French government did not support this Dupleix Doctrine, but Robert Clive, the head of the East India Company tested the Doctrine at the Battle of Arcot in 1751 and soon took over Madras Presidency.Before the end of the 17th century the British took over the whole of India. All these were done with the help of the Indian tax payers and Indian jawans (soldiers) at no cost for Britain. British Industries enriched themselves with Indian raw materials and the vast market.

The Chinese on the other hand were frequently at at war among themselves, but when it came to foreign invasion they closed ranks and fought against their enemy. The British tried the Indian style operation in China with the use Indian tax payers' money and Indian jawans. The Chinese unity was so tight that they had to settle for a few trading outposts, like Hong Kong.

Now tell me Sathiya, have you learnt anything from history? Don't you believe that the Sinhalese will join hands with China and harm India? Sonia's clique brought the Tamils to their present plight. Now you condemn Tamil patriots like Brother Seeman and TGTE. Please let us know what you are - a Tamil, an Indian Tamil or a Brahmin Tamil.
