What are WE Doing here??? Why are We here???

General

Has anybody asked this question to yourselves at any stage of your life??? This question is the ultimate question that can be posed to this organism that is right now reading this. This organism is characterized with reasoning ability, perceptual capabilities thanks to its six senses which make it the most complex and interesting organism on this planet. This question reasons the purpose of life.

Can any human alive on this planet come forward and claim that they have achieved their purpose of life???. Did they ever know earlier itself that they were destined to do this or do that??? Can anybody at least claim that they have exactly identified their purpose in life??? Nobody can.

Purpose varies from ambitions or goals. Anybody’s ambition or goal might turn into a nightmare while pursuing it or after achieving it . It is highly unstable. But purpose is what we do after making those ambitions or goals to come true. What is the net result of our achievement??? That is Purpose.

Definition of a human: Having the attributes of man such as kind or considerate and natural as opposed to animals, divine beings, or machines .

Now how many of us behave as and how a human must behave??? Any person may have certain shortcomings. As they say “no human is perfect”. I agree to it. But the difference that has been created between how humans have to be and how humans have become in this corporate world is too drastic. This difference is right now questioning the very existence of this organism.

The real life human that belongs to this corporate age responds to his subordinates like an animal and to those who are paramount to him, he behaves like a machine. He has lost his kindness that he must shower upon his subordinates by behaving like an animal. He has lost his “being natural” characteristic when his superiors treat him like a machine [they themselves become an animal while doing it].

We humans [!] are the only ones in this planet who claim they have a certain purpose in their life. No other organism has that responsibility or feature in its lifespan. But we go wrong on the very basic step of this mission. We stop being a human. So whatever we may do and become during our lifetime ends without a purpose. Everything returns to NIL.

Each and every one can argue that “I want to do this, and I want to do that, I want to become like this, I want to end up like that… “And so on. My only question to the is this, “Did you already know that you were meant to be like that or want to do like that or can you surely say that you will become such a thing of the future??? ”

Life holds a lot of suspense and thrills. The drama of life has the most intriguing and complex screenplay of all time that no script writer can script. It throws in a lot of surprises, uplifts, disappointments, objections, uproots, derailments and dejection’s.

I never knew that I would be typing these 5 minutes before. People will still claim it to be fate, god’s will or destiny. But my view is that it was my senses that have urged me to type this. And it is your senses that are enabling you to read this. It is the senses that makes us human .

I am not discouraging anybody from having their aims or ambitions in their life. I am just claiming that you do not direct your life. It is your senses. There is this great saying ”Control your senses and you can achieve miracles in your life”. But I disagree. When you control your senses you lose the human in you.

With my understanding on life I came to this following conclusion (!!!).

“The script of life can never be controlled by you. All you can be is a member of the advisory committee [in meaning]. Then you get to play your part according to the role that you have to play. You have a specific script in which you play the lead role. You play supporting roles in other scripts.”

“You can make occasional adjustments while you are acting in the script. You can never quit your script. Only the script quits you. Those who make radical decisions on behaving out of the script, the script then quits on them. They are termed as losers. Those who perform very badly on the script end up as bad actors. They are treated as bad as the losers.”

“You will be the lead of your script. You will play supporting roles in other scripts. A good actor is the one who gives a reasonable performance. The best actor is the one who can override the script itself. All that overriding is limited to tuning of the script. He too can’t change the script as required by him.”

Script refers to our life, all others who come and go by in your life are supporting roles, you will play supportive roles in many others life and the best actors are the ones who are able to control their senses. There are no awards for the best performances. Because there exists no “real script”. Any proper script may go bad by one of the actions of the lead or by one small change that may be created by the person who plays the supportive role. So does life.Then what is the point of “controlling your senses”.

If life doesn’t have a “real script” then where the Hell is your purpose in life going to be in it??? If life does not have a script itself how can you script life for yourself to achieve you’re so called purpose??? After all this analysis I still have this question in my mind “WHAT THE HELL ARE WE DOING HERE??? “.

We are born to do nothing. We are here to live and love as and how a human must be according to his intuitions and senses. By being a human being, enjoy the sufferings on yourself, limit the sufferings of others by being kind and end up ending your life. Be natural , Be Human . After reading this entire article if you have made no conclusions or you are at a practically confused state, you are still a human. If you have either come to understand what I am trying to express or if you have made a conclusion by yourself, you are yet to be a human. Now did you understand that???

Definition of a human: Having the attributes of man such as kind or considerate and natural as opposed to animals, divine beings, or machines.

A peace dividend Sri Lanka cannot squander

Global Issues

M. Chandrapala may not be your traditional Sinhalese Sri Lankan. Dressed in an ankle-length lungi and standing outside his modest home in Trincomalee, on the east coast of this beautiful but tragic island, he tells me that Tamil citizens must be given political rights if the fragile peace reached this year is to hold. A former justice of the peace turned organic farmer, Mr Chandrapala is also an advocate of mixed schooling, which he says is essential to foster understanding between Sinhalese and Tamil communities cleaved by language, culture and religion. “Children should quarrel in school and learn how to get on,” he says. “If we don’t solve these problems, the war will come again.”

In May, the Sri Lankan army under General Sarath Fonseca ended 26 years of brutal civil conflict with the military defeat of the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam. The war had cost more than 70,000 lives and displaced hundreds of thousands of people. It had also spawned one of the most ruthless secessionist groups in the world, prepared to terrorise its own people as well as the Buddhist majority.

The finality of the government’s victory was underlined when grisly footage of the moustachioed corpse of Velupillai Prabhakaran, the Tigers’ founder, was paraded on television. Even Tamils with little sympathy for the bloodthirsty organisation that had fought in their name could not help feeling that an era had passed.

That victory came at the cost of huge civilian casualties and human rights abuses. Nevertheless, it has kindled optimism about the island’s prospects. Everywhere, there are signs of a cautious return to normality. Ubiquitous military checkpoints are being dismantled.

The government soon intends to open the A9 north-south highway to civilian traffic, a symbol of reunification to rival the fall of the Berlin Wall. HSBC even plans by January to open a branch in Jaffna, the northern peninsula that became synonymous with violent conflict.

Investors are (over)excitedly talking about Sri Lanka as the next Singapore. While that is far-fetched, the island does have economic potential. The tourist industry, for one, could reap a big peace dividend. Beyond its other mainstays of tea and textiles, Sri Lanka has deep reserves of human capital. Raj Rajaratnam, the billionaire founder of hedge fund Galleon, who was last month arrested in New York on suspicion of insider trading, may not be the ideal poster-boy for Sri Lanka. Yet he is an extreme example of the success Sri Lanka’s talented diaspora has achieved in finance, industry and the professions. After a quarter century of senseless bloodshed, which frightened off tourists and investors alike, Sri Lanka boasts a nominal gross domestic product of some $2,000 per head, about twice that of India. Think what it could achieve if it had sustainable peace.

That is the ten-thousand lakh question. Can Sri Lanka build lasting stability on the back of what has been a purely military triumph? The danger is that the government of Mahinda Rajapaksa – whose brothers adorn the cabinet like Christmas tree ornaments – will take power for granted after its crushing victory and embrace a crude Sinhalese chauvinism. That would risk stirring renewed conflict from the smouldering embers of peace.

To prevent that, at least three things need to happen. First , the 140,000 people still in camps need to be swiftly and justly resettled. Here, Mr Rajapaksa’s government is moving in the right direction.

It has promised to allow complete freedom of movement by December 1 and says it will give non-governmental organisations, hitherto held in suspicion because of their supposed sympathy for the Tamil cause, greater access to displaced people. The authorities must also move quickly to rebuild destroyed infrastructure so that victims of the war are not left to rot without homes, schools and utilities.

Second
, Sri Lanka needs a political settlement. Jehan Perera, director of the National Peace Council of Sri Lanka, says the government is allergic to the term federalism. But whatever it is called – the preferred nomenclature is devolution – Tamils must feel that they have a political say. The seeming finality of the government’s victory must not become an excuse to crush Tamil hopes of greater political and civil participation.

The third task is the most difficult of all
. As Mr Chandrapala says, the degree to which communities are segregated in an island of only 20m people is shocking. In four schools I visited this month – two Sinhalese, one Tamil and one Muslim – there was not a single child enrolled from an outside community. The government should draw up plans for an integrated, multilingual education system as a priority.

Until a few weeks ago, the prospect of such reconciliatory moves was low indeed. Mr Rajapaksa was preparing to ride his triumph to six more years in office. That certainty has now faded with the likelihood that Gen Fonseca, credited with masterminding victory over the Tigers, will run as an opposition candidate. If there is a contest, neither contender will be able to rely entirely on the Sinhalese nationalist vote. That is a development wholly to be welcomed.

Cost of Self Determination

Conspiracy, Global Issues

The campaign for self-determination for the minority Tamils in Sri Lanka should hold lessons for governments the whole world over. The question must be asked: Why self determination always have to be bought with blood?

The three-decade-long civil war in Sri Lanka is over. For most of the world it was a “hidden war” — public reporting concerned almost exclusively suicide bombers attacking tourist enclaves in the island and adjacent countries. The world really only knew about the “terrorist organisation” called the Tamil Tigers. In August this year, though, the Sri Lankan government launched an all-out offensive against the rebel group. When the firing stopped, the leader of the Tamil Tigers, Velupillai Prabakaran, lay dead. The Tiger had been beheaded.

But the commander of the Sri Lankan army, General Sarath Fonseka recently announced his forced retirement, complaining that his army might have “won the war, but we have not won the peace”.

He was referring to the thousands of ethnic Tamils housed in government camps, the left-overs of the conflict, living in appalling conditions, separated from family and support and victims of army brutality. Forced labour, arbitrary executions, gang rapes, disease and mortality — these are the realities for thousands of Tamils living in Sri Lanka who wanted nothing more than a place to call home.

Now the Tamil diaspora — millions of Sri Lankan Tamils living in countries around the world, are trying to place pressure on the Sri Lankan government to give them exactly that.

The question for many people, though, is: “What is this all about? What were the Tamils fighting for?”

The answer lies in the green and pleasant hills of the island once called Ceylon. It lies off the south-east coast of India, about the size of Ireland, separated from the state of Tamil-Nadu in India by a narrow channel.

The population is divided roughly into three quarters Buddhist Sinhalese and one-quarter Hindu-Tamils. This is the root of the ethnic conflict — a struggle for minority rights.

Both the Tamils and the Sinhalese have in modern times created folk legends that give them first option to the island of Sri Lanka, to justify their conflicting claims. In truth, both of these nations have existed side by side for centuries in peace. It was the advent of colonialism that planted the seeds of the modern civil war.

The colonial era began with the Portuguese and the Dutch in the 16th century. These nations recognised the different ethnic origins of the two nations and ruled them separately. But when Britain took over in 1802, her government introduced administrative conveniences that were disastrous for Sri Lanka.

Firstly, they consolidated the country under a single government, ignoring ethnic differences. Adminstrators introduced the commercialisation of agriculture, migrant labour, title to land, registration of births and deaths, and built churches to introduce Christianity. As the Tamil areas were largely the best regions for tea and rubber plantations, these regions were turned over to agriculture. Economic development took place in the Sinhalese cities. Educated Tamils were forced to leave their lands and seek work in the cities, where they were never assimilated.

Britain administered Sri Lanka along similar semi-autonomous lines to other colonies and allowed a supervised local government. Because of the development of the Sinhalese areas at the expense of the rural Tamil areas, Tamils knew that they would always be disadvantaged as long as they did not enjoy minority rights.

In 1947 Ceylon (as it was then known) was moving towards independence along with India. Tamils, keenly aware of their minority and undeveloped status, tried to counter their numerical and developmental weakness by demanding equal representation in Parliament. Their attempt failed.

In the nationalistic fervour following independence, Sinhalese chauvinism grew. Anti-Tamil feeling became stronger. The Tamils sought to counter discrimination by requesting a federal system so that they would have a degree of autonomy in their own areas. This attempt also failed.

By 1956, Tamils were second-class citizens in their own country. Sinhalese was declared the only official language, thereby disallowing Tamils from holding formal jobs in the state, education or formal economy. Tamils were discriminated against in higher education, by making the entry requirements higher for Tamil-speakers. The anti-Tamil feeling eventually erupted into outright violence and cultural vandalism against Tamils.

The Sinhalese government tried on many occasions to placate Tamil demands, but attempts were usually half-hearted in order to prevent alienating the Sinhalese majority, and every single treaty failed.

In 1972 Buddhism was declared the state religion of Sri Lanka. It was this that finally persuaded the Hindu Tamils that peaceful co-existence was no longer possible. As a final blow, in 1974 the Tamil library in Jaffna — the main repository of Tamil literature and culture, was burned down by Sinhalese soldiers.

In 1976 the Tamil leadership had concluded that only a separate state, as existed before the colonial consolidation, could ensure the survival of the Tamil people. A number of people, deciding that a political process of secession would be too slow, declared an armed struggle.

The real outbreak of the civil war began in 1983 when a group of militants ambushed and killed 13 Sinhalese soldiers in Jaffna. The government embarked on a retaliatory campaign of arrests, torture, detentions and executions of suspected Tamil militants. This was the beginning of a mass exodus of Tamils from Sri Lanka to escape persecution. It signalled the rise of the Tamil Tigers.

By the end of 1983 a full-scale civil war was in progress. Peace talks sponsored by the United Nations failed again and again and again. Both sides embarked on campaigns that were almost guaranteed to add fuel to the flames. The Sinhalese government introduced clampdowns and restrictive legislation, the Tamil Tigers introduced suicide bombers, child soldiers and human shields.

A sizeable force of military exiles fled to the Indian state of Tamil Nadu and launched attacks from there.

Then came 1987. The Indian government was alarmed by the existence of a secessionist group operating out of India and undertook to assist the Sri Lankan government to eliminate them.

The intervention of India in the civil war in Sri Lanka was the second-most disastrous event in the country’s history. Firstly, India had a socialist economic policy, but Sri Lanka was moving away from socialism and cosying up to the West. The Sri Lankan government was therefore seen as building links with countries hostile to India’s interests — South Africa being one of them. Secondly, India had a number of separatist groups of its own, and did not want to set a dangerous precedent by allowing secession in a closely-neighbouring country. Indian Prime Minister Rajiv Ghandi persuaded the Tamils to lay down their arms but then — according to Tamil sources — began a purge of Tamil civilians through execution and rape. The Tamils also aver that Ghandi asked his army to assassinate the Tamil leader Prabakaran when he visited India for peace talks. As a result of the apparent betrayal, a Tamil suicide bomber killed Ghandi in 1991.

The civil war had now reached the point of no return. So many atrocities had been perpetrated on both sides that any attempt at reconciliation was impossible. In 1995 the Sri Lankan government declared war on the Tigers, banned all media, restricted humanitarian organisations and imposed punishing sanctions on Tamil areas. It is estimated that 150 000 people died.

The final offensive came in May 2009. Thousands more civilians died. But at the end of the campaign the Sri Lankan government declared victory, releasing pictures of the body of LTTE leader Velupillai Prabhakaran. Other casualties included the leaders of the political wing of the LTTE. The Tigers were headless, and the military phase of the civil war seemed to be over.

But, as former General Fonseka said, the peace is far from won. Nearly 300 000 civilians who escaped the fighting — many wounded, malnourished and traumatised — are now held in government-run internment camps with inadequate food and water. The displaced are denied the right to live with relatives or host families and UN agencies and humanitarian organisations have not been granted full and unimpeded access to the camps and are thus unable to deliver adequate supplies and services. There are also serious concerns about the protection of residents from threats from government-backed Tamil paramilitaries, government security forces, and remaining LTTE cadres within the camps. Government officials have sent conflicting signals on how long people will be forced to remain within the camps, with estimates ranging from six months to three years.

The Sri Lankan government is also faced with the decades-old challenge of developing a set of political reforms able to address the grievances of Tamils and other minorities while reassuring the Sinhalese. A central test of the government’s commitment to finding a lasting and just peace will be its willingness to implement provisions in the existing Constitution granting powers to provincial councils. The government may have to go further and consider additional legal changes likely to be necessary to satisfy representatives of Tamils, Muslims and other minorities.

In conclusion, the central issue of the civil war is the issue of separatism. All countries that have been colonised agree vehemently that colonialism created divisions that caused unlimited hardship and dislocation.

Why is it unthinkable, then, to undo these arbitrary borders? Why is separatism an issue that draws a knee-jerk denial from governments? Why is it so unthinkable that an ethnic group would want to live among their own kind, worship their own god, speak their own language and honour their own heroes? Africa is the best (or worst) example of this: tribes were cut in half or summarily thrown together by a group of politicians in Europe who drew lines on a map. Toxic though these divisions were, no one appears in the least interested in re-drawing borders despite the number of tribal groups who have applied for autonomy.

Giving the Tamils a homeland which has existed for thousands of years with a colonial hiccup of a little over a century would cost the Buddhist Sri Lankan government nothing, but would allow peace to a nation that has wanted little else. This argument can be extrapolated to Ireland, Spain, Africa, Tibet, the Balkans, and the Middle East.

Suppressing the Tamils in Sri Lanka is going to create an endless supply of martyrs and agitators. Perhaps it is time for governments to count the cost of separatist battles and rethink the way that minority ethnic groups are viewed.

இடைத்தேர்தல் முடிவுகள் சாதாரணமாக ஆளுங்கட்சிக்குச் சாதகமாக அமைவதுதான் இயற்கை. பல்வேறு மாநிலங்களில் நடந்த இடைத்தேர்தல் முடிவுகள், மாநில ஆளுங்கட்சிகளுக்கு எதிரானதாக இந்தியாவில் அமைந்திருப்பதுகூட ஆச்சரியமில்லை. எதுவுமே செய்யாமல் நோபல் பரிசு பெறும் அமெரிக்க அதிபர் பராக் ஒபாமாவின் ஆட்சிக்கு எதிராகவும் அங்கே நடந்த தேர்தல் முடிவுகள் அமைந்திருப்பதுதான் ஆச்சரியம்.


அதிபர் தேர்தலில் மிகப்பெரிய வெற்றியை அடைந்து உலகையே ஆச்சரியத்தில் ஆழ்த்தி, வெள்ளை மாளிகையை அலங்கரிக்கும் முதல் அமெரிக்கக் கறுப்பு இனத்தைச் சேர்ந்தவரான பராக் ஒபாமாவின் ஆட்சியின் மீது ஓராண்டுக்குள் மக்கள் அதிருப்தி அடைந்துவிட்டார்களோ என்கிற ஐயத்தை எழுப்புகிறது சமீபத்தில் நடந்து முடிந்த இரண்டு மாநில ஆளுநர்களுக்கான தேர்தல் முடிவுகள். கடந்த வாரம் நடந்த வர்ஜீனியா மற்றும் நியூஜெர்சி மாநில ஆளுநர் தேர்தல்களில் அதிபர் ஒபாமாவின் ஜனநாயகக் கட்சி பின்னடைவைச் சந்தித்திருப்பது பெரிய சர்ச்சையைக் கிளப்பி இருக்கிறது.


ஓராண்டுக்கு முன்னால் நடந்த அதிபர் தேர்தலில், யாரும் எதிர்பாராதவிதமாக வர்ஜீனியா மாநிலத்தில் அதிபர் ஒபாமா முன்னணி வகித்தது பரபரப்பாகப் பேசப்பட்டது. சமீபத்தில் நடந்து முடிந்த ஆளுநர் தேர்தலில், ஜனநாயகக் கட்சியைச் சேர்ந்த கிரெய்க் டீட்ஸ், குடியரசுக் கட்சி வேட்பாளரான ராபர்ட் மெக்டொனால்டிடம் தோல்வி அடைந்து அதிர்ச்சி அலைகளை ஏற்படுத்தி இருக்கிறார்.


நியூஜெர்சி மாநிலம் கடந்த 12 ஆண்டுகளாகத் தொடர்ந்து ஜனநாயகக் கட்சியின் வசம் இருக்கும் மாநிலம் என்பது மட்டுமல்ல, இந்த மாநிலத்தின் எல்லா தளத்திலும் ஜனநாயகக் கட்சியே அதிகாரத்திலும் இருக்கிறது. நியூஜெர்சியில் குடியரசுக் கட்சி வேட்பாளரான கிறிஸ்டோபர் கிரிஸ்டி, தன்னை எதிர்த்துப் போட்டியிட்ட ஜனநாயகக் கட்சி வேட்பாளர் ஜோன் கோர்சைனைத் தோற்கடித்து ஆளுநராகி இருக்கிறார்.


வேடிக்கை என்னவென்றால், தான் அதிபரான பிறகு நடக்கும் தேர்தல்கள் இவை என்பதால், பராக் ஒபாமா இந்த இரண்டு மாநிலங்களிலும் கடுமையான பிரசாரத்தில் ஈடுபட்டார் என்பதுதான். எப்படியும் இந்த இரண்டு மாநிலங்களிலும் வெற்றி பெறுவதன் மூலம் மட்டுமே, தனது செல்வாக்குச் சரிந்துவிடாமல் காப்பாற்றப்படும் என்று அதிபர் ஒபாமா கருதியதில் தவறு ஒன்றுமில்லை.


இந்த இரண்டு மாநில ஆளுநர் தேர்தல்களும் முக்கியத்துவம் பெற்றதன் காரணம், அடுத்த ஆண்டு நவம்பர் மாதம் 435 உறுப்பினர்கள் கொண்ட அமெரிக்க மக்களவைக்கான தேர்தல் நடைபெற இருப்பதுதான். அதுமட்டுமல்ல, அமெரிக்க மேலவை உறுப்பினர்களில் மூன்றில் ஒரு பகுதியினர் ஓய்வு பெற்று, அந்த இடங்களுக்கும் அடுத்த ஆண்டு தேர்தல் நடைபெற இருக்கிறது. இந்தச் சூழ்நிலையில், வர்ஜீனியா மற்றும் நியூஜெர்சி மாநிலங்களில் பின்னடைவு ஏற்படுவது என்பது தனக்கு எதிரான மனோநிலையை மக்கள் மத்தியில் ஏற்படுத்திவிடக்கூடும் என்று அதிபர் ஒபாமா பயப்பட்டதில் நியாயமில்லாமல் இல்லை.


கடந்த ஆண்டு, அதிபர் தேர்தல், மேலவைத் தேர்தல் மற்றும் மக்களவைக்கான இடைத்தேர்தல்கள் என்று தொடர்ந்து பின்னடைவைச் சந்தித்து வந்த குடியரசுக் கட்சியினருக்கு, இந்த இரண்டு மாநில ஆளுநர் தேர்தல் வெற்றி மிகப்பெரிய உற்சாகத்தை அளித்திருக்கிறது என்பதில் சந்தேகமில்லை. 2010-ல் நடைபெற இருக்கும் மக்களவைத் தேர்தலில் பெருவாரியான இடங்களை குடியரசுக் கட்சி வென்றுவிட்டால், அதிபர் ஒபாமா பலவீனமாகி விடுவார் என்பதால் ஜனநாயகக் கட்சியினர் மத்தியில் ஒருவித கலக்கம் ஏற்பட்டிருப்பதாகக் கூறப்படுகிறது.


மாநில அளவிலான பிரச்னைகளை முன்னிறுத்தித் தேர்தல் முடிவுகள் அமைந்ததாக ஜனநாயகக் கட்சியினர் சமாதானம் சொன்னாலும், பொருளாதாரப் பிரச்னைகளை ஒபாமா நிர்வாகம் சரியாகக் கையாளாததுதான் தோல்விக்குக் காரணம் என்பது அரசியல் நோக்கர்களின் கருத்து. இந்த முறை சுயேச்சைகள் குடியரசுக் கட்சியை ஆதரித்திருப்பதும், அதிபர் தேர்தலில் பெரிய அளவில் தேர்தலில் கலந்துகொண்ட கறுப்பர் இனத்தவர்கள், இந்தத் தேர்தலில் உற்சாகம் இழந்து தேர்தலில் பங்கு பெறாததும்கூட, ஜனநாயகக் கட்சி வேட்பாளர்களின் தோல்விக்குக் காரணம் என்று கருத இடமிருக்கிறது.


இது ஒருபுறமிருக்க, நியூயார்க் மாநகராட்சியின் மேயராக மீண்டும் கோடீஸ்வரர் மைக்கேல் ப்ளூம்பர்க் தேர்ந்தெடுக்கப்பட்டிருக்கிறார். அதிலென்ன விசேஷம் என்று கேட்கிறீர்களா? இரண்டு தடவைக்கு மேல் ஒரு நபர் மேயர் பதவியில் தொடரக்கூடாது என்று அமெரிக்காவில் சட்டம் இருந்தது. சுமார் 10 கோடி டாலர், அதாவது, 500 கோடி ரூபாய் செலவழித்து, அந்த விதியையே மாற்றி மூன்றாவது முறையாகத் தானே நியூயார்க்கின் மேயராகி இருக்கிறார் மைக்கேல் ப்ளூம்பர்க்! பணம் பாதாளம் வரை பாயும்தானே!
இடைத்தேர்தல் முடிவுகளிலும் சரி, பணம் பங்கு வகிப்பதிலும் சரி, இந்தியாவுக்கும் அமெரிக்காவுக்கும் பெரிய வித்தியாசம் இல்லை என்று தெரிகிறது. யாரைப் பார்த்து யார் படித்தது? ஹும்… உலகமயம் என்பதில் இதுகூட சேர்த்தி போலிருக்கிறது…

Tamils languishing in Sri Lankan Death Camps

Conspiracy, Global Issues

“The time has come for the whole Sinhala race which has existed for 2,500 years, jealously safeguarding their language and religion, to fight without giving any quarter to save their birthright. I will lead the campaign.”–> Former Sri Lankan President J R Jayawardene

“I strongly believe that this country belongs to the Sinhalese”–>General Sarath Fonseka, Commander of the Sri Lanka Army

Knowingly or unknowingly, we have all been witnessing one of the darkest chapters in humanity, now being written by the blood of innocent civilians in a land that was once known as Pearl of the Indian Ocean. The ugliest part of this chapter is not what is happening to the innocents but the response from the civilised world that has so far failed miserably to save the lives, although it has the power to act.

Sri Lankan authorities have recently claimed that thirty years of civil war was over and Sri Lanka had defeated Terrorism in this island.

In reality, the so called “War on Terror” is over, deceptive Humanitarian and rescue operations are over but “War on the Innocent Minority Tamils” that started almost two thousands years ago is still continuing and it has now taken a new dangerous turn.

Many of us studied in our history lessons about concentration camps and extermination camps that were operating in Europe during world war two. We were shocked, when we heard about how innocent Jewish people were killed by the Nazis in gas chambers.

Some of us have even written research papers and spent years studying about these notorious Death Camps. We have the systems and procedures in place to stop something like this being repeated in the future. International Humanitarian Organisations have genocide alert mechanisms in place for rapid action.

World leaders very often visit the Auschwitz extermination camps in Poland and make statements like “We will not allow something like this to happen in the future” or “Never again”.

Sadly, Genocide is taking place silently in a far away land but many have so far failed to acknowledge it. We have now become a selfish generation that is good at making regret speeches and look for scapegoats once the tragedy is over, instead of doing something constructive to save lives when it is the right time to act.

We don’t even like to use the word Genocide when it is happening but we would write hundreds of books after it had happened.

It is happening again

While the Sinhala Buddhist extremists in Sri Lanka are celebrating their victory with flags and fire crackers, while the leaders of this country are dining in five star hotels, while the Sinhala youth in the capital city are singing and dancing in the night clubs, while the holy ones of the land are throwing flowers and perfumes at the feet of the Buddha statues, three hundred thousands Tamils are persecuted inside controversial Nazi style Barbed wired Concentration camps , that are operating just 150 miles away from the capital of Sri Lanka.

The people in these camps once lived in their own homes. Farmers, fishermen, priests, doctors, nurses, engineers, lawyers, principals, teachers, civil officers and people from all walks life, who once lived happily, are now let to suffer in the torture chambers of Sri Lanka.


Seeing innocents with hunger and sickness brings us back the memories of starving people in Ethiopia, but the difference in Sri Lanka is that these people are not confronted with a natural disaster. They have been forced into starvation, sickness and death deliberately so that the Sri Lankan masters can fulfil their racist agendas and hide the war crimes that were committed in the recent war against the Tamil rebels.


Many of these people owned farms and lands, they had savings, they still have many relatives living in other parts of the country and overseas, who are willing and able to help. Sri Lankan authorities are not allowing anybody to rescue these people from these torture camps, instead they are coming up with all kind of excuses to stop any help reaching to the needy, so that they can continue with their hidden agendas.

Deaths in Camps

Sky news has recently reported that they saw dead bodies of the Tamils lying outside the Tents.

On average ten to fifteen people are dying of preventable diseases and untreated wounds. Hospital mortuaries are unable to cope with the rising number of deaths.

Many young people are taken out for questioning and some of them are killed and their bodies are thrown on the streets. People are forced to go through painful and slow death. Urgent medical treatments are either denied or delayed deliberately to cause death to the innocents.

Many in these camps think that they would have been better off, if they were killed in Vanni by bombs. It is very heart breaking to see women, children and old people suffering from painful diseases in unhygienic conditions. They are let to die because the Sri Lankan government see this as part of their genocidal plan in this country.

Torture, Rape and Murder

Torture, Rape and Murder are used against the Tamils all over the country. But these incidents are now widely reported in these notorious camps. Recent visits by some international reporters confirm that many mothers cry uncontrollably because their daughters are being raped by the Sri Lankan security forces when they are taken for questioning.

Most parents with teenagers never sleep at night because they are worried that their sons and daughters will be abducted. The names of young people are often called out and they have to go and meet the security forces. Some of them come back, others do not.

UN has recently reported that thirteen thousands Tamils are already missing from these camps.

Food, Water and Sanitation

The conditions that these people live in, are much worse than some of the worst prisons in the world. Cooked food is given in some of these camps but the detainees are given only one meal a day. Men, women and children have to wait for hours in long queues under extreme temperatures, to get these packed meals that are prepared in unhygienic conditions. Some women and children faint and fall before they get their meals.



These faces tell us the real stories. They have lost all that they had, and they are now left to languish behind barbed wires

Thousands of wounded and maimed crawl on the dirt and mud, looking for drops of water to cool their tongues.


Drinking water is not readily available. People carry empty plastic bottles and cans and wait in long queues for hours to quench their thirsts. Water is sometime pumped from lakes and given to the detainees for consumption before purification. Many diseases in the camps are caused by unclean water. People very often die of diarrhoea and Typhoid.

Hundreds of people wait for hours to use the toilets in the camps, and by the time they reach to the facilities, the toilets are sometime blocked. Women particularly go through immense hardships because many of them don’t even have change of cloths.

Law of the land doesn’t protect them

The former chief justice who was the highest judicial officer of the sovereign nation of Sri Lanka has recently said that the internally displaced people are outside the legal jurisdiction of Sri Lanka. Which means the laws of the land don’t protect them.

They are not protected by the laws of the land(Lambs ready for slaughter)

Rapes, torture, murders and all the atrocities that are taking place inside these horror camps can’t be reported to the police or to anybody who is responsible for the security. These people are simply let in the hands of God because man has given up on them.

Concentration camps and extermination camps

Extermination camp is a type of concentration camp and this is not used to punish the criminals but to kill the occupants in a systematic way. Hitler used poison gas to kill millions of Jewish people in extermination camps.

Sinhala Buddhist extremists who consider themselves as a pure Arian race, have been killing Tamils for a simple reason that they see Tamils as infidels and they want to establish a Sinhala Buddhist state in Sri Lanka. This is very similar to the way how Hitler killed the Jewish people because he saw them impure.



They wait for hours in long queues at boiling temperatures to get drinking water

Instead of using poison gas to kill all the Tamils in seconds, Sri Lankan government is withdrawing food, medicine and clean water and making the people to live in horrific conditions, so that the Genocide can be carried out slowly inside closed doors.


Where did the camp people come from?

Many of us have recently heard about the war in Sri Lanka. This war was very ugly because so many war crimes had been committed and more than fifty thousand civilians died, though the official figures keep on changing. Men, women and children were forced to live inside the bunkers for months. Food and medicine were denied to them.

Although the Sri Lankan government claimed that they were fighting the war against the Tamil rebels, it was in fact orchestrated by India and the arms were supplied by China and Pakistan for these countries to secure their strategic interests in the region.

Sinhala Buddhist extremists obviously have benefited a lot from this war because oppressing, persecuting and killing Tamils are always their main goals.

This war was almost like carpet bombing the whole Belfast and killing and wounding thousands of people, starving them to death, denying food to them just to capture and kill few hundreds of IRA rebels who were begging for a ceasefire.

Just imagine one third of the people in Belfast are dead and those who did mange to escape are now forced into concentrations camps and women and children are treated in horrific conditions. No government on this earth would do something like this unless the parties of the war have other hidden motives.

But, this is what exactly happened in Sri Lanka. An area twice the size of Singapore was carpet bombed for months and thousands of civilians were killed in one of the dirtiest wars in the history.

Those who did manage to survive the war have now been sent to these controversial camps.

How do the Sri Lankan authorities justify these camps?

Sri Lankan government claims that it needs more time to weed out Terrorists from the people. They are even talking about keeping Tamils for more than three years in these death camps.

They also argue that they need more time to clear land mines from the areas where the war was fought.

Justifications for the existence of these camps are not valid

Rebels, who were able to escape the war zone, have now surrendered to the government forces. They have also openly declared that they are willing to join mainstream politics. But the government has rejected their offer and refusing to give them amnesty.


Tamil rebels were running a civil administration in their de facto state. Most of these people lived and worked with the rebels therefore weeding out rebels and their sympathisers from the people doesn’t make any sense, because every single soul in this community would have had some contacts with the rebels.

Thousands of orphans of war are left in the hands of God

If they are only after the rebels, why is that mothers, children and old people are forced to live in such horrific conditions. Many of them have relatives living in other parts of the country who are willing to accommodate them. But the Sri Lankan government is not letting anybody to go but expect pregnant mothers, babies and old people suffer inside these horror camps.


Though the government claims that the entire Vanni area is full of land mines, reliable sources indicate that most of the areas are safe for the civilians. This again shows that the Sri Lankan government is deliberately keeping the people inside these torture camps.

These camps violate basic human rights

As the former chief justice of Sri Lanka has indicated, the people in these notorious camps are not protected by the laws of the land. This gives total freedom for the criminals to commit crimes without being get caught.

People are locked up in horrific conditions against their will. Hundreds and hundreds of human rights violations are taking place and these camps are completely illegal according to international laws.

Sri Lanka is not at all interested in the welfare of the Tamils

Sri Lankan government’s actions in the recent weeks clearly indicate that they have many hidden agendas and they are not at all interested in looking after the welfare of the Tamil detainees.

Many international aid agencies are still waiting for permission from the authorities to go and help the people in the camps. Relatives and friends who live in other parts of the country are willing to take care of their loved ones who are illegally locked up and persecuted. Many Tamils who live overseas, are capable and willing to provide for their loved ones. But Sri Lankan authorities are not letting anybody to feed these innocent people.

Most shockingly, a Ship that went to Sri Lanka with 800 metric tons of food, cloths and medicines has now been turned back. These were donated by the Diaspora Tamils.

Western leaders who are very keen on dealing with the humanitarian crisis in Sri Lanka are either denied visas to Sri Lanka or deported back from the Colombo airport. Sri Lanka has recently denied entry to Bob Rae, a prominent Canadian politician outspoken in his criticism of Colombo’s military campaign against the Tamil rebels. They also denied entry to the Swedish foreign minister who had planned to take part in a EU humanitarian mission to the country.

Sri Lankan authorities are deliberately letting the Tamils to die without enough food and medicine. They are not interested in receiving help either from international aid agencies or the Tamil Diaspora

What are their hidden agendas?

These controversial camps are wrong because the Sri Lankan government has many hidden agendas. They want to hide their crimes and also they want to continue implementing their genocidal plans.

I have heard stories that murderers sometime try their best to prevent people from getting into the crime scenes. There are also situations that a murderer deliberately wound someone and deny any medical help for the victim. He would call the ambulance when it is too late to save the dying.

All these people who are now locked up in these camps had witnessed many war crimes. The saw cluster bombs and phosphorous bombs falling on civilians. Almost all of them lived inside the bunkers in order to protect themselves from bombs and shells.

They saw their loved ones dying when the hospitals and schools were bombed. Some of them had even witnessed, surrendered rebels with white flags, being shot and killed by the Sri Lankan armed forces.

They are now witnessing killings, rape and torture in the hands of the security forces in these notorious camps. Sri Lankan authorities are preventing aid workers and journalists to the camps so that they can silence the witnesses of the war and the world wouldn’t know what had happened in the killing fields.

The rate at which Tamils are disappearing and dying in these camps, half the population would be wiped out in three years time. The rest will be made mental and it would be a perfect opportunity for the Sri Lankan government to colonise two Tamil districts with Sinhala Buddhist settlers. This has always been the agenda of the Sinhala governments.

Few years ago, one of the politicians from an extremist party in the south of Sri Lanka suggested to the government that carpet bombing the Tamil cities and killing half the Tamils in the country would be one of the ways to suppress the Tamil rebellion.

Tamils getting killed in Sri Lanka pleases the Sinhala Buddhist extremists. If they had any care for the thousands of civilians killed in the war and the ones dying in the extermination camps, they wouldn’t have celebrated their war victory against the rebels with sweets and chocolates.

Why do the Sinhalesse hate the Tamils so much?

Sinhalese hate the Tamils because they are taught to hate the Tamils. They are taught in the schools and they are taught in the Buddhist temples. When the children are born to different races in Sri Lanka they are born pure and innocent.

As they grow, they start to look into the eyes of their mothers and rest in the arms of their fathers and they feel secure and confident no matter whether they were born to Sinhala, Tamil, Muslim or Burgher parents.

When they get into the schools, they are taught that the land belongs only to the Sinhala Buddhists and the rest were invaders and aliens.

If my parents had taught me that my next door neighbour was born to a monkey and he was an invader in our family land, I would have grown up hating this poor neighbour. Thankfully my parents never did that.

Buddhist Sinhala extremists in Sri Lanka are very much like the Nazi regime that preached hatred against the Jewish people, and the rulers of Sri Lanka are like reincarnations of Hitler because they are doing exactly what Hitler did sixty five years ago.

Are all the Sinhalease racists?

Not all the Germans were Nazis. Few leaders with sick heads can destroy a whole country or even start a world war. Hitler was a perfect example for it.

There are many Sinhala politicians, academics, lawyers, human rights activists, professionals and people from all walks of life, understand that Tamils are oppressed because of ignorance, foolishness, hatred and greed of some Nazi style leaders who are not only wiping out Tamils but are destroying the whole country.

Many Sinhala people are supporting the Tamils in their struggle against oppression.


Why do they persecute the Tamils in Sri Lanka?

Persecution of Tamils in Sri Lanka is more to do with an attempt by the Sinhala Buddhists leaders to fulfil the myths and fantasies written in an ancient book called Mahavamsa.

Mahavamsa was originally written in Pali language because the Sinhala language was not well developed at that time.

Mahavamsa is considered as a kind of bible by the Sinhala Buddhists in Sri Lanka. Although this book has historical records, there are many fabricated stories, myths and fantasies that make this book completely unreliable.

It talks about a pure Sinhala race that descended from a lion which is obviously a four leg animal. No wonder why the minorities find the Sri Lankan lion flag very offensive.

In recent days, great importance is given for flying the Sri Lankan lion flags in Tamil concentration camps , than feeding the hungry or treating the wounded. Even the Nazi regime in Germany was very serious about displaying swastika flags in the Jewish concentration camps.

Mahavamsa also preaches hatred against the minority Tamils.

Sinhala Buddhist politicians and military leaders of Sri lanka believe every word in this book and they are on a mission to fulfil the desires of the kings and queens that are portrayed in this book.

This is a sample text from Mahavamsa which was written in the 6th Century. This verse talks about a desire of a Sinhala queen who wanted drink water, mixed with the blood of a Tamil warrior.

Then she longed to drink the water that had served to cleanse the sword with which the head of the first warrior among Tamil king Elära’s warriors had been struck off, and she longed to drink it standing on this very head, and moreover she longed to adorn herself with garlands of unfaded lotus-blossoms brought from the lotus marshes of Anuradhapura”

No wonder why the extremists act like the way they act, when they meditate such verses. Words of many racist politicians and military leaders in Sri Lanka are spoken straight out this book. Even some of the well known former presidents of Sri Lanka are not the exceptions.

They want to make Sri Lanka as a Sinhala Buddhist nation by wiping out the minority Tamils.

Who are the original inhabitants of Sri Lanka?

We have been very successful in building multi ethnic and multi religious communities with every colour race and religion who are enjoying equal rights in many countries. Therefore it is completely inappropriate to argue who own the lands and who were the original inhabitants.

Tamils and Sinhalease both have been there for more than two thousands years. They lived in two separate nations until they were brought together by the British during the 18th century.

But it is important to look at some historic facts about Sri Lanka so that we know it is wrong for the Sri Lankan authorities to claim Sri lanka as a Sinhala Buddhist country by suppressing the Tamil minorities who are indeed the original inhabitants of this Nation.

Firstly, there were no Buddhists in Sri Lanka before 200 BC because Buddhism was brought to Sri Lanka in 200 BC. There was no Sinhala language before 300 BC ,because Sinhala language was given birth at that time. Sinhala has around four thousands loan words from Tamil language, although this language originated from Brahmi script and have features of Bengali, Pali and Sanskrit. It is quite obvious that Sinhala was developed by people from different races including the Tamils.

Logically speaking, there was no such community called “Sinhala Buddhists” in Sri Lanka before 200BC. But there were Tamils in Sri Lanka before there were Sinhala Buddhists.

However, Many Sinhalese have Dravidian and Aboriginal features and these people are either the inhabitants of the country who were speaking Tamil or aboriginal languages or people migrated from the South Indian states.

Some of the Sinhalese have ancestors from Bengal, Orissa and other North Indian states.Those Sinhalese with the fair complexion either have north Indian roots or they have European ancestors.

Tamils in Sri Lanka can be grouped into three groups. Majority of them are the original inhabitants and some came to this country during the Chola invasions from India and the ones who work in the tea estates were brought in the 18th century.

Sri Lanka was connected to India by a land mass before they were separated by water. It is highly likely that Dravidian Tamils and Aboriginal community lived in Sri Lanka for many thousands years.

Nasa picture: Land mass connecting India and Sri Lanka, confirms  the links between Aboriginal/Dravidian civilizations in both countries

In summary Tamils, Sinhalease and Muslims who have Aboriginal and Dravidian roots are the original inhabitants of Sri Lanka. So this claim of making Sri Lanka as a Sinhala Buddhist country by suppressing the minorities is completely illogical, because Sinhala language and the Buddhist religion are relatively new to this country that has many thousands of years of history.

Sri Lanka has the responsibility to protect all its citizens no matter whether they are Sinhalease, Tamils, Muslims, Moors or Burghers. When they discriminate against a race and carrying out genocide they are not just failing from their duties but they are losing their right to govern.

Oppressing the minorities to fulfil the myths and fantasies in a book that was written by a poet is a complete madness and those leaders who are trying to do this should be seen as the Hitlers of Sri Lanka.

Buddhist Sinhala leaders are now busy performing their rituals while Tamils are dying in the concentration camps

While the Tamils are persecuted all over the country, while they are being tortured in these controversial camps, the President and his family are busy performing Buddhist rituals and carrying statues through out the country.

Recently, the Presidents wife and his son made a secret visit to the north of the country to perform a buddhist ritual in the Tamil city of Jaffna.

The President has also recently announced that he was going to build nine giant Buddha statues in nine districts of the country including all the Tamil districts where people don’t practice Buddhism as their religion.

Millions are going to be spent on building statues in places where thousands of Tamils have recently perished in a dirty war. Instead of giving priority to help the victims, ignorant leaders are acting irresponsibly.

Sri Lankan government has also started to implement Sinhala colonisations in Tamil areas. They are also changing names of streets and places from Tamil to Sinhala

All the indications of a systematic genocide of a race is clearly seen in Sri Lanka. Tamils are dying in the hands of a Sinhala regime because of the ignorance and stupidity of the Sinhala Buddhist leaders.

What is the response from the International Community?

Many foreign diplomats still haven’t understood the deeper issues. Some of them are even congratulating the Sri Lankan government just like someone who congratulate a bogus doctor who claims that he had healed Tyfoid with paracetamol tablets. Fever may be gone temporarily for few hours but the root disease is still there.

Sadly, many haven’t grasped the fact that Sri Lankan leaders are deceiving the whole international community with lies and deceptions and this has been going on for years.

Sri Lankan government very often take foreign diplomats to some of these refugee camps that are well maintained for propaganda purposes. They see such camps and give reports to the media that they are happy with the facilities available in these camps.

In terms of statistics, such propaganda camps are not the right samples and they don’t represent the population.

Human rights research groups and many independent organisations have confirmed war crimes and abuses in Sri Lanka in a massive scale and it is important that the world should be looking at the Sri Lankan leaders as suspected criminals and murderers.

It doesn’t make any sense if the world leaders shake hands with the killers and make joint statements about the defeat of terrorism in Sri Lanka while the Sri Lankan State is still terrorising and abusing its minorities.

If the world leaders understood, how much the Tamils are going through, in the hands of a Nazi style regime in Sri Lanka, they would have done something to save the Tamils from these notorious camps.

International think tanks , diplomats and global strategists should understand the deeper issues in Sri Lanka before jumping into conclusions.

Indian prime minister Manmohan Singh has recently acknowledged that Sri Lankan problem is bigger than LTTE. It is not that he has discovered something new but it is India’s another attempt to deceive the international community that they have a better understanding of Sri Lankan issues than other countries.

Anyhow he was right that Sri Lanka has very deeper issues and the most obvious problem is that the Sinhala Buddhist leaders are trying to establish a Sinhala Buddhist Sri Lanka by wiping out the Tamil minorities.

Sri Lankan ethnic conflict can be grouped into four areas. These are, enmity between two races that existed for almost two thousands of years, State terrorism against Tamils for the last 60 years, Tamil armed rebellion against State oppression for 30 years and finally the competition mainly between India and China in the Indian ocean

India and China have acted as opportunists in Sri Lanka. They got into the scene and provided help to the party they saw as strong and they have now secured their interests in Sri Lanka.

What we have recently seen in Sri Lanka is that the armed rebellion of the Tamils has now been crushed by the Sri Lankan government with the help of China and India who obviously have their own strategic interests in the Indian Ocean.

International leaders should first understand that the armed Tamil rebellion from the Tamils was just a response to the State terrorism in this country and crushing this rebellion is just like dealing with a symptom instead of the root cause.

Even after defeating the LTTE, The way how the Tamils are treated in the barbed wired concentration camps, clearly indicates that the problems in Sri Lanka are more to do with the hatred towards the Tamils and an organised State terrorism.

Why do we have to intervene and save Tamils from Sri Lankan death camps?

We have all heard about a man called Josef Fritzl who kept his daughter in the dungeon for 24 years. He fed her and gave all that she needed but he abused her day and night. He was found guilty and was sent to jail.

When we find out that someone is abusing a victim, we will do something to stop the abuse and bring the culprit to justice. We don’t just stand and clap our hands or make joint statements with the killer.

Sri Lankan leaders are acting exactly like this evil father. Tamils in Sri Lanka are abducted, abused, tortured, raped and killed everyday and the world has all the evidences.

We live in a global village. We hold our hands and sing our Olympic songs together. We have become very generous and righteous. We climb mountains and run races to save the children in Africa.

We have the technologies to see what is happening in every little tiny spots on this planet. A surgeon in California can operate a child in India by manipulating a robot arm through the web interface.

We are the defenders of human rights. We talk about it in our dinner parties. We have huge departments in universities to do research on human rights and war crimes.

We enjoy each other and we need each other. We eat mangoes from India, oranges from Israel and Kiwis from New Zealand.

Here is the challenge for the civilised world. Three hundred thousands innocent civilians are persecuted in Barbed wired concentration camps for a simple reason that the rulers of this country consider them as infidels just like how Hitler treated the Jewish people.

When the West fought with the Nazi regime in Germany, We didn’t just fight with flesh and blood but we also fought with the evil that was in the hearts and minds of the Nazis. What is destroying Sri Lanka is not the Sinhalease, not the Tamils, not even the Sri Lankan military but the evil that rules the hearts and minds of the racist political and religious leaders who are foolish, arrogant and greedy.

Tamils are now dying in Nazi style death camps. The law of the land is not protecting them. A systematic genocide is being committed against this oppressed community.

We have already failed to save thousands of Tamils from indiscriminate bombings in the killing fields of Sri Lanka.

If ,what we believe and what we profess in the lands of freedom are true,we would do something to save the dying Tamils from the Death Camps of Sri Lanka.

You Can Make a Huge Difference To the Indian Economy

Conspiracy, Global Issues, India - Insight

Please spare a couple of minutes here… for the sake of India … our country.

Small example,
Before 5 months 1 US $ = IND Rs 40
After 5 months. Now it is 1 $ = IND Rs 50

Do you think US Economy is booming? No, but Indian Economy is Going Down.

INDIAN economy is in a crisis. Our country like many other ASIAN countries is undergoing a severe economic crunch. Many INDIAN industries are closing down. The INDIAN economy is in a crisis and if we do not take proper steps to control those, we will be in a critical situation.

More than 30000 crore rupees of foreign exchange are being siphoned out of our country on products such as cosmetics, snacks, tea, beverages… etc which are grown, produced and consumed here.

A cold drink that costs only 70 / 80 paisa to produce is sold for NINE rupees, and a major chunk of profits from these are sent abroad. This is a serious drain on INDIAN economy.

We have nothing against Multinational companies, but to protect our own interests we request everybody to use INDIAN products only for next two years. With the rise in petrol prices, if we do not do this, the rupee will devalue further and we will end up paying much more for the same products in the near future.

What you can do about it?

1.. Buy only products manufactured by WHOLLY INDIAN COMPANIES.
2. ENROLL as many people as possible for this cause.

Each individual should become a leader for this awareness.This is the only way to save our country from severe economic crisis. You don’t need to give-up your lifestyle. You just need to choose an alternate product.

Every INDIAN product you buy makes a big difference. It saves INDIA . Let us take a firm decision today.BUY INDIAN TO BE INDIAN .we are not against of foreign products.

WE ARE NOT ANTI-MULTINATIONAL.

WE ARE TRYING TO SAVE OUR NATION. EVERY DAY IS A STRUGGLE FOR A REAL FREEDOM.

WE ACHIEVED OUR INDEPENDENCE AFTER LOSING MANY LIVES.THEY DIED PAINFULLY TO ENSURE THAT WE LIVE PEACEFULLY.. THE CURRENT TREND IS VERY THREATENING.

MULTINATIONALS CALL IT GLOBALISATION OF INDIAN ECONOMY. FOR INDIANS LIKE YOU AND ME IT IS RECOLONISATION OF INDIA …

THE COLONIST’S LEFT INDIA THEN. BUT THIS TIME THEY WILL MAKE SURE THEY DON’T MAKE ANY MISTAKES.WHO WOULD LIKE TO LET A” GOOSE THAT LAYS GOLDEN EGGS” SLIP AWAY.

PLEASE REMEMBER POLITICAL FREEDOM IS USELESS WITHOUT ECONOMIC INDEPENDENCE.

RUSSIA , S.KOREA , MEXICO ….THE LIST IS VERY LONG!!LET US LEARN FROM THEIR EXPERIENCE AND FROM OUR HISTORY.

LET US DO THE DUTY OF EVERY TRUE INDIAN.

FINALLY: IT’S OBVIOUS THAT U CAN’T GIVE UP ALL OF THE ITEMS MENTIONED ABOVE,SO GIVE UP ATLEAST ONE ITEM TO FOR THE SAKE OF OUR COUNTRY.
