Hon’ble Thiru.Vaiko General Secretary Marumalarchi DMK
Respected Comrade Vaiko
Subject: Recognition of Tamil Eelam through UN referendum regarding.
This tiny party of followers of political orphan Aringnar Anna, whose two adopted sons met their death unattended by financially multi millionaire parties DMK and ANNA DMK, had organized a symposium on 14th May of 2000 on “What Indian Government should do in ethnic conflict of Srilanka- An open Discussion”. There it was resolved that Tamil Eelam should be attained through UN Referendum and I sent faxes to then Prime Minister, Home Minister, External Affairs Minister, Defense Minister which was duly reported in media.
In the post-war phase of Eelam, I thought of Government of Exile. As you know when France surrendered to Hitler, the lonely warrior Charles de Gaulle, a Minister in Marshal Petain’s government crossed the English Channel and established the Government of Free French in British soil. India housing the Tibetan Government in Exile flashed in my mind. The Nethaji’s Government in Exile and Shanbagaraman Pillai’s Government in exile all queued in mind to remind me of past. But I know the mindset of Union Government, so I chose to write to British Prime Minister and other Presidents and Prime Ministers of European Union. That appeal is enclosed. After the fall of Soviet Union, Yugoslavia and Chekozhlavkia and breaking up a new policy was enunciated to recognize new born states which are elaborated in three books of Richard Caplan. International Governance of War torn Territories: Rule and Re-construction [2005] is a book which will provide us insight into the intricacies of gaining recognition for Tamil Eelam.
Then I mooted the Transnational Government of Tamil Eelam which is now a reality with an elected Government headed by Prime Minister Vishwanathan Rudrakumaran.
Recently when Leader of Opposition in Indian Parliament Sushma Swaraj visited Nagapattinam in connection with the killing of Tamil fishermen, Tamilnadu BJP State Secretary S.Adhavan sought a report and I prepared a 752 page report, which activated the BJP at national level to organize demonstrations in Delhi, and I am proud of being a catalyst for such a change.
They were not willing to go for supporting Tamil Eelam. To convince them I listed out various alternatives to Eelam and suggested step by step approach.
1. To urge India to recognize the Transnational Government of Tamil Eelam on the lines of Indian support for Tibetan Government in Exile.
2. To urge for UN sponsored referendum to decide Tamil Eelam like Atoll of Atafu, East Timor and Sudan and to follow the guidelines laid by European Union to recognize new born states.
3. My experience in Varanasi press meet gave me the idea that we must mobilize support for Eelam in each and every state of India. I planned an Eye Opening Seminar on Eelam in Delhi but was thwarted by Jaya Jaitly. Even now you can go to all state capitals, meet those who are in power and opposition and seek their support for India to take up the case of Tamil Eelam through UN Referendum. In your press meetings in state capitals, please keep a translation in that region’s language, then only local media will deliver your message to all people of that state.
4. You can also seek support of Socialist International and write to all leaders of various socialist parties throughout the world for Tamil Eelam.
5. The issue of Katcha Teevu should be taken to the International Tribunal of the Law of Seas; a copy of my attempt is enclosed.
6. To the International Criminal Court of Justice not bothering about locus standi but to drive home in their mind about Rajapakshe’s genocide I sent a complaint which is enclosed. Tamil fishermen killed by Srilankan navy must be made to complain to this Court, whether it accepts or not but to expose Indian inaction.
7. Bay of Bengal had been sold out like real estate to Ambanis who in turn had roped in British Petroleum for offshore oil/gas mining. Beyond that International Sea bed Authority of UN had earmarked areas for titanium , gold and other minerals, and that area is quake prone situated in the breaking point of Ind0-Burma plate.
8. My articles which appeared so far for 14 weeks in Manasatchi are enclosed. There are plans to exploit shale gas in all our river basins. On these issues I wrote to current Chief Minister JJ and that letter is enclosed. Previous Chief Minister’s plan to pollute Tamilnadu’s coast is exposed in my representations at various public hearings, which is also enclosed.
9. Plebiscite in Kashmir India is against, and long struggle awaits us to drive home the need to support Eelam, and best way is to take to all states of India. My article Nagas are Dravidians had also thrown some suggestions to Government of India, to resolve Kashmir and other issues.
10. Keep away from political clown and chameleon who describes DRAVIDAM AS DIRTY WORD. Support to Tamil Eelam should not be converted into a separate Tamilnadu campaign; as such campaigns had cause immense loss to Eelam Tamils.
Wishing you all success, I send this through Publications Secretary of MDMK Thiru.A.Vanthiyathevan.
With best regards
Yours fraternally
N.Nandhivarman
