A
British Tamil – Mrs Ambigai Selvakumar is currently on hunger
strike and has declared that she fast unto death is at least one of her demands
were not met. Tamil Solidarity.org has presented this as follows:
[Mrs
Ambihai Selvakumar has begun her hunger strike unto death in the UK. , She
requests the UNHRC 47-member state including the Core Group on Sri Lanka to
pass a strong resolution in the 46th UNHRC session. Her requests revolve around 4 main
demands from referring Sri Lanka to the ICC, establishing an independent
investigative mechanism, OHCHR to appoint a Special Rapporteur to continue to
monitor Sri Lanka for on-going violations and a referendum to determine the
aspirations of the Tamil people in Sri Lanka.
Tamil
Solidarity empathises with Mrs Ambihai Selvakumar, other diaspora
organisations and individuals fighting to this day for truth,
accountability and justice for the massacre endured 12 years ago. The Sri
Lankan government has stepped up militarisation using the Covid situation as
cover. But the so-called “international community” continued to turn a blind
eye to the atrocities that are being committed. ]
I also
fasted from time to time, to deepen my experience. Mine was more like Gandhi’s.
Gandhi became one of the ‘masses’ and their voice. In doing so, Gandhi forewent
his higher status and income as a professional lawyer. That in itself was ‘fasting’.
Later when he fasted – it was as if all those masses that he believed in – as part
of himself - fasted. That is the way
true belief works.
On 09
March I shared the following :
Q7: Here is another quiz especially for you.
What is the one and only book, one must read in his entire life?
A: Oneself
Today, that person
quoted Saint Yoga Swami as follows
[உனக்குள்ளேதான் புத்தகம் ; தினமும் அதை புரட்டிப் புரட்டிப் படி / The book is in you.
Turn it over and over and read it every day]
I responded to it as follows:
[Even though I am a devotee I did not have conscious knowledge
of the above. But my belief in Swami brought out the response ‘myself’.
Your
above quote has confirmed how true belief works before the conscious knowledge]
A
Canadian Tamil wrote about the fast:
[Thileepan. An old boy of JHC (Jaffna Hindu
College) died as a consequence of hunger strike in 1987 September . There was
no significant international sympathy . However Ambigai Selvakumar drew
international sympathy, Many organizations including Ottawa TAMIL senior
association diaspora ,Canada have endorsed their signatures that would be
forwarded to U.K embassy here]
If Mrs Ambigai Selvakumar
is being true to herself - then her real
purpose has already been delivered by her real government. In her claim at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=--nBdmn2nuQ
Mrs Selvakumar states ‘If Britain had left the island as they captured,
Tamils would not have faced Genocide. And the island of Sri Lanka would have
had two great – Tamil & Sinhala nations.’
Given that Mrs Ambigai
Selvakumar is confirming the LTTE to be her leadership structure – the two
Nations has happened – of Tamil Nation that is bound by law and its punishments
through due processes and the other Tamil Nation that is led by armed power –
as happened in Pakistan that separated despite Gandhi’s desperate efforts to
keep India as One Nation. Mrs Ambigai Selvakumar states also that Thanthai
Selva / Father Selva recommended armed struggle. I have no knowledge of this
and consider it an insult not only to Mr SJV Chelvanayakam but also to Gandhi.
Our purpose works
and all those who are like Mrs Ambigai Selvakumar, and in support of her –
would form the parallel of Pakistan in their own minds. Those of us who truly
follow in Gandhi’s pathway would remain the Original Tamil Nation – the parallel
of India. Whether others recognize it or not when we believe – we bring the
mind into us. Mrs Ambigai Selvakumar confessed to not being able to bring
Gandhi into her. Hence she would divide the community into two. When we are
asking for boons – we need to be careful – that our intent and our claim are
One. When we are granted as per our Truth that which is Our Nation gets separated.
Ultimately that is likely to bring peace to those Tamils living in Sri Lanka
who have voted to become Equal Opposition in Lankan Parliament. We need that opposition
to be competitive and that is good for Sri Lanka. Mrs Ambigai Selvakumar does not represent any
of us and we are Tamils.
