The Sinhalese committed Tamil genocide because they believe the whole island was promised to their ancestors over 2000 years ago to protect Buddhism. They believe every patch of land is sacred to them and Tamil Hindu settlements are illegal encroachments on ancient Buddhist sites. Their Sangha with the support of the military and archeology department lay claim on every patch of land with a bodhi tree even if privately owned by Tamils. This is the reason why every political solution intended to provide regional autonomy to Tamils has failed. The Sangha have the final veto as they are the kingmakers of Sri Lankan politics. It’s practically a Buddhist theocracy where the primacy of Buddhism is enshrined in the constitution.

Although popularly depicted as an ethnic conflict as opposed to religious, it’s a false binary that doesn’t apply to Sri Lanka, specially to the Sinhalese Buddhists. Buddhism has also been popularly associated with peace but in Sri Lanka, its oldest refuge, it’s associated with pedophilia, necrophilia, mass rapes and genocide. It might be a difficult truth to stomach for Ambedkarites but it was in Buddhist Sri Lanka the largest number of Dalits were massacred in the entire history of the Indian subcontinent, as the LTTE had a strong base among the subaltern classes of Eelam. Once again, Sri Lanka defies all simplistic binaries which is why it should be judged on its own merits.

I appreciate the global attention given to Anojan's persecution by Saudi Arabia, however the same attention should be directed at Sri Lanka.

In Anojan's province, Sinhalese Buddhists have been putting grenades in the mouths of Tamil owned cattle to intimdate Eelam Tamil farmers.

[Rooftop Tiger @RooftopTiger]

Velan Swamigal and Catholic parish priests have stood with Tamils for decades, facing arrests and state persecution. They stood up for Anojan before his story even went viral reminding our bonds run deeper than faith. We have bled together and cried together for decades, and that is a bond no divide can break.

[Monica Verma @TrulyMonica]

Kudos to Sri Lankan Hindu community that didn’t abandon one of their own and stood like Rock with Anojan.

Saudi Arabia has set aside the death penalty and credit goes to their massive campaign. #SaveAnojan

@tripadoddhara In the US it’s mostly the former. Only the privileged get to go there. They have Jaffna ancestry but are allergic to the word Eelam.

[Rooftop Tiger @RooftopTiger]

Please ignore those sorilankan Tamils in America glazing Sinhala barbarians. They’re a privileged minority from Colombo and don’t represent the vast majority of us. Traumas from Black July gave them Stockholm syndrome.

Justice for Anojan isn't over yet ⬇️

Qatar police can still deport AZEEM ABDUL JABBAR for everything he’s done.

PLEASE KEEP SENDING YOUR EMAILS he needs to pay for what he did !!!!

Tyronne De Silva, another Sinhalese nativist from Australia, doesn’t want “Poopjeets” in Sri Lanka. The jokes write themselves.

[Rooftop Tiger @RooftopTiger]

Being a Sri Lankan nativist with an European name while living in a foreign country is a crazy work. Just your average Sinhalese nationalist.

Australia is a hotbed of Sinhalese nationalists. Regardless of religion, they ally with the white right-wing due to shared values and hardline stance against Eelam Tamils. Many of them also believe they are Aryans related to whites.

[Thamizharasan 🇫🇷 @urfavthambi]

🇱🇰 Local police pressured a tourist to drop her case against a monk who tried to assault her, to protect Buddhism's PR.

They know monks exploit the "peaceful" image to commit crimes without consequences, because people equate Buddhism with peace & protection.

Let’s not forget that time when Sri Lankan court sentenced five innocent TN fishermen to death for drug trafficking after being framed by the Sri Lankan navy. At least the Indian government came to their rescue and got them presidential pardon. Their three Eelam Tamil co-accused weren’t so lucky because our defenders were destroyed by both countries.

Subject: Urgent Appeal for Mercy and Clemency to Save Sivarasa Anojan

Your Royal Highness and Respected Authorities,

I am writing with deep concern and sincere hope to humbly appeal for mercy and clemency for Mr. Sivarasa Anojan, a Sri Lankan citizen reportedly facing the death penalty in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.

I respectfully acknowledge the seriousness of his reported social media comment and the hurt it may have caused to those whose religious beliefs were affected. Freedom of expression should always be exercised responsibly, with respect for the faith, dignity, and beliefs of others. Mutual respect, religious harmony, and peaceful coexistence are essential values that we must all uphold.

Nevertheless, I humbly request Your Royal Highness and the relevant authorities to consider the circumstances of this case and extend compassion to Mr. Anojan. If he has acknowledged his mistake and expressed genuine remorse, we respectfully ask that he be given an opportunity to learn from this experience, demonstrate responsible conduct, and rebuild his life.

The reported deletion of the comment and his expression of remorse deserve compassionate consideration, alongside all relevant facts and applicable legal provisions. We earnestly appeal to the authorities to consider commuting his death sentence and granting him every available legal opportunity to seek forgiveness and demonstrate sincere repentance.

We fully respect the laws, judicial institutions, and sovereignty of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. This appeal is made solely on humanitarian grounds, with sincere respect for Islam, all other religions, and the sanctity of human life.

An act of mercy would bring immense hope and relief to his family and loved ones. It would also demonstrate the enduring importance of compassion, forgiveness, and the possibility of personal transformation, even when a serious mistake has been made.

We therefore earnestly appeal to Your Royal Highness and the relevant judicial and royal authorities to consider granting Mr. Sivarasa Anojan a pardon or commuting his sentence through the appropriate legal and royal channels.

Please give him a second chance at life. Let this case become an opportunity for repentance, forgiveness, reconciliation, and renewed commitment to respecting the religious beliefs and dignity of others.

With utmost respect, sincere hope, and a humble appeal for compassion,

A Concerned Citizen
India

In support of Mr. Sivarasa Anojan’s appeal for clemency.

Sinhalese government sabotaging commercial connectivity between India and Jaffna despite Indian funding to develop KKS port and Jaffna airport. They want to permanently keep Tamil areas dependent on Colombo:

"This will dramatically scale up Jaffna's economy in terms of hotels, hospitality sector, handicrafts, tourism, and transport services. Since most diaspora members hail from Jaffna, they will come straight to Jaffna avoiding Colombo."

This appears to be precisely the reason a powerful network of politically-connected Sinhalese in Colombo do not want to see Jaffna airport develop in any significant way.

The LTTE was formed in 1972, and by 1983 it had already established independent arms lines that Indian intelligence was unaware of. It initially accepted rudimentary training from India that was also offered to other militant groups, but for the LTTE this served mainly as a means of infiltration to monitor Indian recruitment within those factions.

The arms supplied at that stage were mostly small arms, and one of the most significant forms of support the LTTE received was MGR’s ₹5 crore contribution, which was used for logistics.

The LTTE also learned of plans by Rajiv Gandhi after 1984 through infiltration and money paid to the womaniser Uma Maheswaran, leader of PLOTE, and Sri Saba, leader of TELO, to eliminate Prabhakaran for refusing to toe his line.

Rajiv Gandhi, in his usual hubris, assumed these saram clad boys could be controlled, but he underestimated the LTTE’s sophistication. By 1985, the LTTE already had ears inside the cabinet and was aware of these moves, though I will refrain from elaborating on how those intelligence leaks occurred. Many armchair national security commentators live in Bollywood style hubris, and it is simply not worth my time trying to convince them otherwise.

Before the usual incredulity about how the LTTE outplayed others, with claims such as “They must have had Mossad, the CIA, or the KGB behind them,” I would urge people to study the credentials of its principal figures and the precision of its intelligence wing. An organisation like the LTTE can never exist again, not because of lack of will, but because its effectiveness lay in the ingenuity of its own internal organisation, not in external patronage. The fact that its intelligence machinery remains largely unexposed even after the total elimination of its leadership is testament to that sophistication.

Sri Lankan intelligence in fact only discovered the LTTE’s external intelligence chief by chance in 2014, when he was living under a Muslim identity. He consumed cyanide as security forces closed in. Even after the LTTE’s defeat, states still struggle to understand how it organised logistics and moved material for major attacks. Any seasoned defence analyst will attest to how professional the LTTE was, and only those unwilling to accept that a bunch of Tamils achieved this level of sophistication resort to lazy tropes about drug trafficking or foreign agency support.

They were known to kidnap Eelam Tamil girls for forced marriage. I saw a post-war video of a Tamil girl from the east complaining about being victimized. One of the Easter Sunday bombers also groomed a Tamil girl in the east and converted her to Islam. The east is lost. Muslim population there has surpassed Hindus with Saudi patronage. With their demographic and economic dominance they exploit the poor Hindus and will convert more. Hindu India only co-sponsors this by helping to destroy the Eelam struggle and continuing to back the Buddhist state at our expense.

[Malar🌷 @MargazhiPoove]

Islamic terrorist supporting Sri Lankan Moor Azeem Jabbar aka AzeemSrilanki is hoping for more Eelam Hindus to offend in Saudi Arabia.

So he, as a devout and openly proud Salafist, can continue to specifically lobby for Eelam Tamil Hindus' death?

[Malar🌷 @MargazhiPoove]

Anojan being the same age as my husband and me and having to go through this much torture to satisfy the bloodlust of this insecure people who only see this as a game is horrific 💔

To all the genuine people standing with Anojan, keep raising your voices for him

#SaveAnojan

[Trex @TxRxSx3x]

A Mahinda Rajapaksa supporter and journalist was also involved in sharing cropped comments of Anojan with the Saudi government.

In this post, he says that he is eagerly waiting for the “final match” on October 17 the deadline for Anojan’s case appeal. He further frames the situation as a contest over who will “win,” Hindus or Muslims, and makes a disturbing joke while asking for people’s views on the death penalty.

It is deeply disturbing to see people treating a matter involving a person’s life and death as if it were a sporting event or a source of entertainment. Such rhetoric is vile and dehumanising, especially when the consequences could mean the death of a fellow human being.

One of the most revealing details about India’s involvement in the final Eelam war only came to light because of a court case. In 2019, an Indian Air Force serviceman went to court after being denied a promotion because the government would not publicly acknowledge his military role in Sri Lanka. The resulting court records disclosed that he had been deployed to Sri Lanka under a covert operation called “Project Drishti” from 2007 to 2008, where he was wounded during an LTTE attack.

India must have been watching the development of the rebel air force, Air Tigers, with alarm, especially after their impressive raid on Anuradhapura Air Force Base in 2007. So, India provided its radars to Sri Lanka along with a team of its air force personnel under the guise of civilian technicians to help monitor rebel aircrafts. An anti-aircraft missile system was also gifted to shoot them down.

The case is significant because it suggests India gave far more military assistance to Sri Lanka than it publicly acknowledged and it can now be counted alongside Pakistan as key contributors to the destruction of Tamil Eelam.

Key points from the article:

Indian military assistance also extended to the sea by providing intelligence to sink the LTTE vessels transporting arms. Both sides kept mum about this due to TN public sentiments.

India claimed the reason for providing radars was to prevent Chinese radars being used against India, but Sri Lanka also bought Chinese radars anyway. The China card is just an excuse to keep Tamil nationalism in check.

Congress government pressured Sri Lanka to finish the war before the general election in 2009, which might explain the disproportionate use of force and surge in civilian casualties in the final weeks.

@kadhalmozhi It does. It’s just anti-Tamil. Sinhalese are already in bed with China.
