Sri lankan Killing Fields – CH 4 Video



I wonder whether the outstanding documentary put together by UK Ch 4 can be subtitled

a) In Sinhalese for the members of my community, the Sinhalese, to see what has been done to citizens of their country. Although it might appear otherwise, the Tamils are citizens of that country.

Although I am a Sinhalese, a cousin of the former President, Chandrika Bandaranaike Kumaratunga, coming as I do from the dreadful Bandaranaike family (my paternal grandmother was Sir Solomon dias Bandaranaike’s sister), I can neither read nor write Sinhalese. So can someone else do this essential work and do an even more difficult job of circulating it in Sri Lanka, or as it likes to be called, the Democratic Socialist Republic of Sri Lanka? It is crucial that my people see what their government has done in their name. there might be an outrage. I am not sure about this because although my people are not all ethnoreligious chauvinist bigots, they are certainly are moving in that direction as an alarming rate. They MUST see this video and see it in a language they can understand (93% of Sinhalese cannot speak or read English. So subtitles in English is a waste of time.



They have not only got to see the atrocities but also hear the language – ‘mother-fucker’ in particular. As a recipient of this ‘title’ at least twice a week from ‘patriotic’ Sinhalese, there is a particular resonance in me. I am called not only a ‘mother-fucker’ but a ‘mother-fucking Tamil tiger’.

This is not an accurate description of me. I do not (nor have I ever) indulged in this activity, my mother is dead and while she was alive was not subjected to this. I am not a Tamil tiger. If I am, the so is my cousin, Chandrika Bandaranaike Kumaratunga. She cannot be a ‘Sinhala patriot’ and I a ‘Tamil Tiger’. This is genetically not possible. I will be putting a more detailed analysis of the language used in the CH 4 video and on me personally in thousands of hate-mail I have received in the many years I have campaigned for the right of the Tamil people to live with equality, dignity, safety, and now to live at all in the country of their birth – which is what this struggle is all about. if that makes me a Sinhala traitor or a mother-fucking Tiger, so be it.



I have politely informed the thousands of Sinhalese who abuse me daily at all times of the day and night and by email, who have accused me of this activity, that if this is what they do to their mothers, then they have a problem and should call my office for an appointment to see me –medically, I mean, and I will refer them to the appropriate people who deal with such behavior.

This medical service is being provided by me free



2) Into Tamil – NOT for the Tamils in the N&E of Sri Lanka (who have witnessed this first hand and do not need a dvd, subtitled or not, to apprise them of what has happened. You need this tamil subtitling for the Sri Lankan Tamils in the Sinhala South, and most importantly, for the Tamils in ami Nadu – the crucial group who can derail the bunch in Delhi.



3) Into Chinese - so that they can see what their government has done to the Tamils by supplying the heavy weapons to commit the atrocities that the Sinhala army did, which is now in full view, thanks to some very dedicated people in UK CH 4. How the hell you are going to get this into China is another problem but to up-load it is one way. A huge number of Chinese have computers and will soon pick it up.



What else we can do with the CH 4 info I will deal with in a separate article which will appear shortly on tamilcandaian.com and sangam.org – the usual ‘troublemakers’.



Although the CH 4 video is fantastic, there is in fact more in info on the dvd recorded by me “Sri Lanka. Genocide, Crimes against Humanity, Violation of International Law” and the outstanding book, just released, ‘Genocide in Sri Lanka’. The dvd you can have for free (just send me your postal address), the book you will have to pay for because it is not mine to give, although I do have some 25 copies, with more if I need them. We have all the evidence to hang the lot including a critical LTTE fellow who assassinated 600 Sinhalese policemen who surrendered to him in the East – a war crime if ever there was one. He is a fellow called Karuna Amman currently a Cabinet Minster in The Hon Mahinda Rajapaksa’s government. The Honourable Mr Karuna can be, and must be, charged – like all his fellow cabinet ministers and boss. It is our business to see that that is done. Done it will be, done it must be.
