Killing ofPrabhaka,r.an and Quelling ofthe Struggle ofSri Lankan Tan1ils:.

Shame on Racist Rajapakse's Claim of A "Famous Victory".

Defeat The Politics of Racist Extermination!.

Defend The Aspirations of Sri Lankan Tamils!.

According to an announcement by the Sri Lankan Government, the LTIE chief Prabhakaran rs dead, killed by the.

Lankan Army The LTTE is yet to conf1rm the death, and some sections are questioning the veracity of the claim.The exact manner of Prabhakaran's death is clouded in suspicion. The Sri Lankan Government claims he was killed.

when the army opened fire on a van in which he and two top aides were travelling; initially, Sri Lankan officials said the vancaught fire under rocket attack and Prabhakaran's body was badly burnt. Subsequently, they claimed to have found hisbody, dead from a bullet, dressed in fatigues and having identification papers on him, during a combing operation. There.

are many unanswered questions about the manner ofthe death· including the suspicion that he might have been captured.

alive by the Lankan Army, or that he might have taken his life before capture..

The dubious a:.. count t~f the LTTE chief's death i_s only the latest in the saga of bloody massacre that the SriLankan government unleashed on the Tamil people. AISA condemns the Sri Lankan Government's killing of LITEchief Prabhakaran, who had pursued the cause of Tamil national self-determination struggle for over threedecades, and firmly holds that the politics of repression, elimination and extermination of Tamil people andleaders cannot resolve the issue of Tamil national self-determination in Sri Lanka..

The Sri Lanka's "famous victory" is not a grand military triumph but a crime against humanity, particularly,.

against the Tamil masses in Sri Lanka. Sri Lankan President Mahinda Rajapaksa is a racist despot who should be.

branded as a war criminal and tried for deliberate and ruthless violation of international conventions on war.Rajapakse is trying to garner international support for his war, by claiming it to be a 'crusade against terror-.

ism' embodied in the LTTE. But the emergence of LTTE was nothing but a reaction to the decades of state-sponsored Sinhala chauvinism and racism that massacred thousands of Tamil people in the island country, and.

to miss this point is an injustice to the national self-determination struggle of Tamil people and their history..

We do share the democratic opinion that condemned the killing of RaJiV Gandhi in Indian soil and of other Sinhala and.

Tamil poltt1cal leaders in Sri Lanka We also have our share of criticism of the ways and means of LTIE and Prabakaran.IPrabakaran was a leader of the Tam1l national self-determination struggle and not a communist or socialist as he claimedon some occas1ons. Prabakaran's excessive reliance on military might and intolerance to dissent without any long termpolitical strategy and diplomacy that could tilt the balance of forces in favour of his own ideal of Tamil Eelam was a major.

flaw. But these cannotjustify the killings oftens ofthousands of innocent Tamil masses by the Sri Lankan military offensive..

If LTTE could be at the head of decades-old liberation struggle of Tamil people in Sri Lanka in spite of its.

1 autocratic behaviour and intolerance to any dissent, it is not merely because of its military might which was.

reinforced by none other than the Indian government in .

'80s, but because of the objective aspirations of Tamil.

.

masses for emancipation from the clutches of majority Sinhala chauvinism. Elimination of LTTE cannot meanelimination ofTamil people's aspirations for liberation in Sri Lanka. Rhetoric likeSri Lankan president. and also the abstract concept of 'equal rights' etc. , being peddled by.

'devolution of powers' being advocated by Indian government and.

Tamil Nadu Chief Minister Karunanidhi cannot satisfy the Tamil masses who have undergone the brunt of decades-long.

chauvinism racist discrimination, brutal oppression and genocide. Solutions can lie only in thoroughgoing autonomy for the.

Tamil people, negotiated in the backdrop of a genuine end to the politics of Sinhala chauvinism. To imagine that a.

solution would be possible in the backdrop ofa bloody massacre and chauvinistic triumphalism 'celebrating' the.

decimation of the Tamil movement is delusional..

Civil liberty and Tamil activists protesting against the Indian army convoys susp~cted ofsupplying arms to tne.

Lankan army have been arrested and jailed in Coimbatore just a week back, thus muzzling dissent even in India..

This incident also exposes the lie of the Indian claim of no involvement in the war ag~inst Tamils in Sri Lanka..

Tamil Nadu Chief Minister Karunanidhi is in Delhi busy bargainmg for ministerial berths for his family in central govern-.

.

ment when the entire state of Tamil Nadu is burn1ng and mourning the death of Prabakaran. Neither the Karunanidhi.

... 's.

election stunt of fasting nor the presence of dozens of Tamil ministers of vanous part1es in the central government could.

stop the war. In fact, all bourgeois parties in Tamil Nadu, tncludmg DMK, PMK and AIADMK, have only played politics on the.

corpse of thousands of Tam11 masses in Sri Lanka 1n order to promote their own electoral prospects. After actively andruthlessly opposing the struggle for independent Elam all these years, Jayalalitha.

's sudden election time promise of'Sepa-.

rate Tam1l Eelam' when Tam11 people were on the run to save thei~ lives was the biggest ever fraud on the people of Tamil.

Nadu. .

As long as the fundamental issues involved with the aspirationsof Tamil masses in Sri Lanka are not resolved with dignity and justice,.

military elimination of LTTE and Prabakaran may only be a beginning.

of another round of newer fo_rrns of struggle for national self-determi·nation of Tamil people in Sri Lanka, Everything has .not c..ome to anend with the elimination of LTTE, but rather a fresh chapter has only.

begun. Occupation, domination and discrimination will always give rise.

to resistance. .

27/03/02 POTO PASSED WITH THUMPING MAJORITY ! Friends, .

The ABVP congratulates the Indian Parliament for passing of the "Prevention of Terrorist Activities Ordinance (POTO) in its joint session by a huge margin. It is a victory of the national aspirations of the Indian people and a crushing defeat for the politics of vote-bank and minority appeasement. The Congress once again exposed to the nation, the bankruptcy of the ideas by toeing the Communist line on POTO. The communists who are bent upon to legislate POCO in West Bengal, shamelessly .

remained glued to their sectarian agenda till the last. However, the long debates which ranged for months in the nation saw most of the partjes supporting POTO which resulted in the defeat of the blackmailing tactics of the Congress. The ABVP also congratulates parties like the Nationalist .

Congress Party, an ally of Congress and the AIADMK for rising above partisan politics and backing the bill in national interest. .

It is unfortunate to note that the opposition parties chose to oppose the bill merely for the sake of opposing the government. AH the attempts to arrive at a consensus was thwarted, so that the menace of terrorism continues unabated, and different 'secularists' political formuLations may continue to make political capital out of it. The congress which at the last moment tried to plead that the Bill be referred to select Committee, (in a clear attempt to delay the same) did not show even an iota of concern on the .

earlier occasion to come out with its own suggestions, but instead moved ahead to build unnecessary rhetorical hype. The bill which was revised after it was promulgated as POTO for the first time, in the light of the suggestions made by Supreme Court, National Law Commission and partjes like NCP, .

naturally sailed through the joint session of both the houses of the parliament. The Congress which has earlier passed such legislations in Maharashtra and Kamataka had no moral position to block a similar biU in the Rajya Sabha owing to its numerical strength. Moreover, even its ally NCP did not bothered to support its position given its rank opportunist and immoral stand. It is also paradoxical that while Congress opposed POTO, the Congress Govt. in Maharashtra actually booked one Md. Afroz under the same ordinance, only to plead before the court just on the day of the joint session of the parliament to see the lifting of the provisions of POTO from the accused. It is a cruel joke in this country that even the terrorists are being spared for the sake of political gains. .

It seems that Congress is taking its lessons in harping on contradictory positions from Communists. The Bengal CM, who is pressing every now and then in his party circle for the need of a piece of legislation called POCO, his moves are thwarted on the ground that such a move may damage its 'secularist' image. Buddhadeb Bhattacharya who along with self-prodaimed President of Pakistan, Parvez Musharaf, openly accepted that the Madrassas have become breeding ground for terrorist activities, had to eat his words, when scolded by the likes of Jyoti Basu and Harkishan Singh Surjeet, the duo who refuses to retire from the politics even at the expense of young leaders of their party .

hoping to become Prime Minister some day. We still remember, how ridiculously and shamelessly BengaJCM said the other day, that he was misquoted by 'Ganasak.ti', his party mouthpiece! .

Friends, the best rejoinders to the hypocrites opposing the bill was given by P.A. Sangma, who said in yesterday's debate, that the opposition claims that they now rule most of the states in the country, and the task of implementing the law (POTA) rests on the State Police, and since they are apprehensive of the misuse of the bill, it's better to appeal to the opposition themselves not to misuse the bill ! To sum up, it is important to note that POTO has taken into account the .

recommendations of the National Law Commission and the Supreme Court with regard to dealing with bail, confession before a police officer, interrogation (wherein the accused person's lawyer can be present) and production before a judicial authority, should set at ease those who oppose it, not in principle, but out of apprehension of its wrongful application. Moreover, the ABVP expressed its immense faith in the strength of our democratic system, which shall expose any attempt to misuse the law for the furtherance of any malafide agenda. .

every year. No c:hange in the governments in center and state levels could stop or control the crisis. Since 2000 agriculture .

in this country has been virtually stagnating. Farmers' indebtedness is rooted in such stagnation, increasing risk in .

Killing ofPrabhaka_rari and Quelling ofthe Struggle ofSri Lankan Tamils:.

Shame on Racist Rajapakse's Claim of A "Famous Victory".

Defeat The Politics of Racist Extertnination!.

Defend The Aspirations of Sri Lankan Tamils!.

According to an announcement by the Sri Lankan Government, the LTIE chief Prabhakaran is dead, killed by the.

Lankan Army. The LTTE is yet to confirm the death, and some sections are questioning the veracity of the claim.The exact manner of Prabhakaran's death is clouded in suspicion. The Sri Lankan Government claims he was killedwhen the army opened fire on a van in which he and two top aides were travelling; initially, Sri Lankan officials said the van.

caught fire under rocket attack and Prabhakaran'.

s body was badly burnt. Subsequently, they claimed to have found hisbody, dead from a bullet, dressed in fatigues and having identification papers on him, during a combing operation. There.

are many unanswered questions about the manner of the death: including the suspicion that he might have been captured.

alive by the Lankan Army, or that he might have taken his life before capture.The dubious a~count uf the LTTE chief's death is only the latest in the saga of bloody massacre that the Sri.

Lankan government unleashed on the Tamil people. AISA condemns the Sri Lankan Government's killing of LTTEchief Prabhakaran, who had pursued the cause of Tamil national self-determination struggle for over threedecades, and firmly holds that the politics of repression, elimination and extermination of Tamil people andleaders cannot resolve the issue of Tamil national self-determination in Sri Lanka.The Sri Lanka's "famous victory" is not a grand military triumph but a crime against humanity, particularly,.

against the Tamil masses in Sri Lanka. Sri Lankan President Mahinda Rajapaksa is a racist despot who should be.

branded as a war criminal and tried for deliberate and ruthless violation of international conventions on war..

Rajapakse is trying to garner international support for his war, by claiming it to be a.

ism' embodied in the LITE. But the 'crusade against terror-emergence of LTTE was nothing but a reaction to the decades of state-.

sponsored Sinhala chauvinism and racism that massacred thousands of Tamil people in the island country, and.

to miss this point is an injustice to the national self-determination struggle of Tamil people and their history.We do share the democratic opinion that condemned the killing of Rajiv Gandhi in Indian soil and of other Sinhala andTamil political leaders in Sri Lanka. We also have our share of criticism of the ways and means of LTTE and Prabakaran.Prabakaran was a leader of the Tamil national self-determination struggle and not a communist or socialist as he claimed.

on some occasions. Prabakaran'.

s excessive reliance on military might and intolerance to dissent without any long term.

.

political strategy and diplomacy that could tilt the balance of forces in favour of his own ideal of Tamil Eelam was a majorflaw. But these cannotjustify the killings of tens ofthousands of innocent Tamil masses by the Sri Lankan military offensive.If LTTE could be at the head of decades-old liberation struggle of Tamil people in Sri Lanka in spite of itsautocratic behaviour and intolerance to any dissent, it is not merely because of its military might which was.

reinforced by none other than the Indian government in '80s, but because of the objective aspirations of Tamil.

masses for emancipation from the clutches of majority Sinhala chauvinism. Elimination of LITE cannot meanelimination ofTamil people's aspirations for liberation in Sri Lanka. Rhetoric like.

Sri Lankan president, and also the abstract concept of 'equal rights' etc., being peddled by'devolution of powers' being advocated by Indian government and.

Tamil Nadu Chief Minister Karunanidhi cannot satisfy the Tamil masses who have undergone the brunt of decades-long.

chauvinism, racist discrimination, brutal oppression and genocide. Solutions can lie only in th9roughgoing autonomy for theTamil people, negotiated in the backdrop of a genuine end to the politics of Sinhala chauvinism. To imagine that a.

solution would be possible in the backdrop of a bloody massacre and chauvinistic triumphalism 'celebrating' the.

decimation of the Tamil movement is delusional..

Civil liberty and Tamil activists protesting against the Indian army convoys suspected ofsupplying arms to theLankan army have been arrested and jailed in Coimbatore just a week back, thus muzzling dissent even in India.This incident also exposes the lie of the Indian claim of no involvement in the war ag~inst Tamils in Sri Lanka.Tamil Nadu Chief Minister Karunanidhi is in Delhi busy bargaining for ministerial berths for his family in central govern-.

ment when the entire state of Tamil Nadu is burning and mourning the death of Prabakaran. Neither the Karunanidhi's.

...

election stunt of fasting nor the presence of dozens of Tamil ministers of various parties in the central government could.

stop the war. In fact, all bourgeois parties in Tamil Nadu, including DMK, PMK and AIADMK, have only played politics on the.

corpse of thousands of Tamil masses in Sri Lanka in order to promote their own electoral prospects. After actively and.

ruthlessly opposing the struggle for independent Elam all these years,.Jayalalitha.

.

rate Tamil Eelam' 's sudden election time promise of 'Sepa-.

Nadu. when Tamil people were on the run to save their lives was the biggest ever fraud on the people of Tamil.

.

As long as the fundamental issues involved with the aspirations.

of Tamil masses in Sri Lanka are not resolved with dignity and justice,.

.

military elimination of LTTE and Prabakaran may only be a beginning.

of another round of newer forms of struggle for national self-determi·.

TO· SHELVE 'Sethu-Samudhram Canal Project' {SSCP), HIT HARD WITH COST CARD! ~ .

01/10/2007.

Friends,.

Our country has a hoary past for the best and most ancient civilization in the world. It is well known for .

its richness in religious traditions and cultural heritage, for which the great epics Ramayana & Mahabaratha .

.

serve as backbones. Millions of Hindus worldwide revere these 'Ithihaasaas', not only as sacred texts but also .

as the true history of our ancient nation for which a number of evidences are available to prove their 'historical .

.

existence. .

This has been in contention since the British period and many committees have been constituted since then to \ study the viability of such a project. All those committees, up to the A. Ram~samy Mudhaliar committee (1956), h'ave suggested only a land-based canal starting from Rameshwaram Island. The proJect has been an electoral issue for all the political parties in Tamil Nadu. The foundation for the project was laid and studies were undertaken and finally six route plans were arrived at. With the advent of the UPA government/ the route plan cutting across the Rama Sethu was arbitrarily selected and the inauguration was hurriedly held, without a proper study on the economical viability of the project. The authorities also showed scant regards to the religious sentiments of millions of Hindus, genuine concerns of .environm ent alists and expert opinions of geologists, marine archeologists, tsunami experts and security experts. The DMK is famous for its anti-Hindu stands and sadly & unfortunately, the other allies of the DMK government have also been supporting it, while the opposition parties AIADMK & MDMK have been remaining silent on the issue of Rama Sethu. All of them were under the presumption that taking a stand favoring the protection of Rama Sethu, would result in loss of votes, as the project is being projected as a developmental opportunity for Tamil Nadu. The UPA at the center and the project is going to bring in a lot of revenue, employment.

the DPA at the state have created a picture, as though1 .

opportunities, etc, resulti!lg in the over all development of the state. The DMK has been so audacious that the Shipping .

Minister T. R. Balu didn't even bother to consult the Defense Ministry/Indian Navy, with regards to the security aspects. .

.

Immediately after the inauguration, SSCP Corporation was set up and a deal was finalized with the Dredging Corporation of .

India and work was started. Until last month, crores of money has been allegedly spent with zero result. The dredged sand .

.

get s accumulated again & again due to the movement of waters and the DCI's attempts to break the Ramna Sethu has resulted in the breakages of cranes & their spuds. If the bridge is actually a natural formation of sand dunes, then how come cranes & spuds weighing 250 to 300 tonnes get broken? If a natural formation could be there for a stretch of 30 kms, then .

why there was no other similar formation, even for a stretch of 5 kms, around the world? It is also alleged that the SSCP .

Corporation has not paid the bills of Dredging Corporation of India for their works so far! .

.

On the other hand, to establish the actual truth of Rama Sethu, literary, historical, archeological and .

numismatic evidences have been submitted in the Courts of Law. Despite all these evidences, the Government .

of India had the arrogance to file an affidavit questioning the existence of Rama & truth of Ramayana. Even after .

the center backtracked and withdrew the affidavit, the state government exhibited its arrogance through the malicious .

statements of Chief Minister Karunannidhi, Ora vida Kazhagam leader Veeramani and PM K leader Ramadoss. They .

all have said that Rama, Ramayana and Rama Sethu ~re myt h and they are persuading the central government to go .

ahead with the project. The valuable opinions of geologists, marine archeologists, tsunami experts, environmentalists and .

security experts have been ignored with contempt. As both the governments are expected to reject the religious sentiments, .

.

environmental & security concerns and the expert opinions, the only way to stall or shelve the wasteful & useless project is to attack and arrest them on the economic point of view. It becomes imperative/ as the Shipping Minister has already hinted . that the government would approach the SC for getting appropriate orders to restart the dredging works. To go from Tuticorin to Kolkatta, directly cutting across the sea between India & Sri Lanka will be certainly shorter ld can say. But, while making such a route plan, we have.

than circumnavigating Sri Lanka, which is a slmple logic, even a chi.

to consider, the depth of sea, weight of ships, shallowness of the waters, speed at which the ships can travel, the fuel .

consumption & costs, reqUirement of pilots & pilotage and toll fee, etc. After considering all these factors and making a .

threadbare analysis, the marine experts have arrived at the following conclusions: -The time saved will be only 2 hours or less and not 36 hours as claimed by the SSCP Corporation. In fact .

the time consumption might be more because of embarking & disembarking of pilots and other .

.

inspection procedures. .

The cost difference is not worth considering and sometimes circumnavigating Sri Lanka would be .

cheaper. .

Ships weighing 30,000 tones & below only can sail through the proposed canal as it may not be suitable .

only a small number of Indian vessels may use the canal, that too on compulsion only, which may result .

instead of wasting thousands of crores of taxpayers' money. .

months. When 1t IS well, ascertained that the project is a "while elephant", it should be shelved and the taxpayers' money .

சென்னை: திமுக, அதிமுகவுடன் ஒருபோதும் நடிகர் ரஜினிகாந்த் கூட்டணி அமைக்க மாட்டார் என்று அவர் தொடங்க இருக்கும் கட்சியின் மேற்பார்வையாளரான தமிழருவி மணியன் தெரிவித்துள்ளார்.

2107-ம் ஆண்டு இறுதியில் தாம் அரசியல் கட்சி தொடங்கப் போவதாக அறிவித்தார் நடிகர் ரஜினிகாந்த். ஆனால் இது தொடர்பான எந்த முயற்சியும் ரஜினி தரப்பில் மேற்கொள்ளப்படாமல் இருந்தது கடும் விமர்சனத்தை உருவாக்கியது.

இந்த நிலையில் அடுத்த மாதம் புதிய கட்சி தொடங்க உள்ளதாக ரஜினிகாந்த் அறிவித்துள்ளார். மேலும் தாம் தொடங்க இருக்கும் கட்சியின் தலைமை ஒருங்கிணைப்பாளராக அர்ஜூன மூர்த்தியும் மேற்பார்வையாளராக - சூப்பர்வைசராக தமிழருவி மணியனும் இருப்பார்கள் என்றும் ரஜினிகாந்த் அறிவித்தார்.

இதையடுத்து புதிய கட்சிக்கான நிர்வாகிகள் நியமனம் உள்ளிட்ட பணிகள் முழு வீச்சில் நடைபெற்று வருகின்றன. இதனிடையே ரஜினிகாந்த், அதிமுகவுடன் கூட்டணி அமைக்க வாய்ப்புள்ளதாக கூறப்படுகிறது. அதிமுக மூத்த தலைவர்களும் இதே கருத்தை வலியுறுத்தி வருகின்றனர்.

ஆனால் இன்று நாளிதழ் ஒன்றில் கட்டுரை எழுதியுள்ள தமிழருவி மணியன், அதிமுக- திமுக ஆகிய 2 கட்சிகளுடன் ரஜினிகாந்த் கூட்டணி அமைக்க மாட்டார் என திட்டவட்டமாக தெரிவித்துள்ளார். மேலும் தாம் ரஜினிகாந்திடம் இரு திராவிட கட்சிகளுடனும் உடன்பாடு எதுவும் வைத்து கொள்ள கூடாது என விருப்பத்தை தெரிவித்தேன்.

இதற்கு பதிலளித்த ரஜினிகாந்த், இரு திராவிட கட்சிகளுடன் கூட்டணி என்கிற தவறை ஒருபோதும் செய்ய மாட்டேன். நீங்கள் என்னை நம்பலாம். என்னைப் பொறுத்தவரையில் எவ்வளவு கடுமையாக விமர்சித்தாலும் எதிர்வினையாற்றபோவது இல்லை என ரஜினிகாந்த் கூறியதாக பதிவு செய்துள்ளார் தமிழருவி மணியன்.

மேலும், ரஜினிகாந்த் அன்பும் அடக்கமும் தன் உயர் பண்புகளாக கொண்டவர். அவ www.vconnectnews.com/tamilnadu/rajinikanth-not-form-allia...

SFI .

Friends, 05/1 0/08 The Dravidian Movement or 'Non-Brahmin' movement in the state of Tamil Nadu during the earlier part of twentieth century is considered to be one of the progressive movements fighting against Brahminical domination and its alhed consciousness. This movement fought vehemently against age-old Brahminical 'Varnashrama Dharma' caste order and its associated social and political exploitation. Tamil society was suffering under the clutches of Brahminical domination and its chief ally landlordism for more than 2000 years. From a materialistic perspective 'Varnashrama Dharma' provided a theoretical backbone for economic, social and political exploitation of majority by minority landlord Brahmlnlcal castes. In North lndtan society the Vedic theory of Varna is realized at least to the extent that we find castes claiming so called Brahmin, Kshatriya, Vaisya and Shudra status. In South India there is no so called Kshatriya or Vaisya, so accordingly all castes are so called Brahmin, Shudra or Untouchable. In spite of various forms of protest against Brahmanism throughout the history, an organized, collective form of protest emerged during early part of twentieth century under the aegis of Justice Party. The South Indian Liberal Federa1ion, founded by Thyagaraja and T M Nair in 1916, soon came to be called the Justrce Party. Its declared aim was to strive for an improvement in the educational, economic, political and social status of the non-Brahmins in South India. Though it was said to be a "non-Brahmin" movement, essentially it was a non-Brahmin non-Dalit movement, against the Brahmin domination in various fields. Among its supporters were rich landowners and aristocracy who favoured the British colonial government. Prior to 1916 political activity in Madras Presidency was dominated by Brahmins and furthermore Brahmin dominance in the political arena was paralleled by the Brahmin dominance in the administrative arena and in university admissions. Later on Periyar merged the self-respect movement with Justice Party to form Dravida Kazhagam (DK). Then Dravida Munetra Kazhagam (DMK) under the leadership of Annadurai got separated from OK to contest in electoral politics. Social justice and lingutstic nationalism were the major planks that saw its phenomenal growth, which helped it capture power in Tamil Nadu in 1967. The two major Dravidian parties DMK and AIADMK ruling the state alternately for about five decades is a pale shadow of its former self. However .

the crrtics argue that though It facilitated the upward mobility of intermediate castes, it has not done justice to Dalits; it has not contributed to the growth of Tamil as modern language; the Tamil identity it has constructed has failed to transcend caste identities. This was exemplified during the rise of Oalit Movement and other caste-based political parties like Pattali Makkal Katchi (PMK). The main Dravidian parties in Tamil Nadu have now come to a stage where they have no hesitation in joining hands with the Hindutva forces (BJP and others) to share power at the centre. In this context, we call upon the students to attend the public meeting tonight in Kaveri Mess at 9.30 pm. .

Support the Ongoing Student Movement in Chennai Against.

.

Sri Lankan War Crimes Against.

.

the Tamilians! Shame on UPA Govt.'s Refusal to.

.

Take a Principled Stand Against the Genocide of Tamilians in Sri.

.

For the past few days, students from several colleges in Chennai, Tamil Nadu, have.

been waging a remarkable struggle against the genocide of Tamilians in Sri Lanka. As.

the United Na·ons meets in Geneva to discuss the horrific saga of mass murder, rape.

and the con·nuing ghe·oisa·on of Tamilians in Sri Lanka, students are demanding.

that the Sri Lankan government be tried and punished for its numerous war crimes..

.

Numerous UN reports, despite their mul·ple ambivalences, nevertheless agree on the.

complicity of the Sri Lankan government in the genocide. These reports have laid bare.

the brutal nature and the very SCALE of the genocide: tens of thousands were killed.

by the Sri Lankan government shelling; so-called "no-fire zones" were specifically.

targe·ed, food distribu·on lines and hospitals were reduced to rubble. The war crimes.

commi·ed by the Sri Lankan government are NO secret, they have been documented.

in painful detail - whether it is the mass killings, the shelling of heavily populated areas.

or the pathe·c condi·ons in the `relief' camps for Tamilian `refugees'. Most recently,.

videos of the shameful killing of the 12-year old son of former LTTE chief Prabhakaran.

have come to light. For years, Tamilians in Sri Lanka as well as democra·c sec·ons.

across the world have been demanding jus·ce against these war crimes..

.

What is most shameful is the role of the Indian government. Star·ng from sending the.

Indian Peace Keeping Force to Sri Lanka, to suppor·ng an openly racist and genocidal.

regime in a neighbouring country, our governments too have had their complicit role.

to play in the genocide of Tamilians in Sri Lanka. The UPA con·nues to support the Sri.

Lankan government poli·cally and economically, it con·nues to provide military and.

defence support to Sri Lanka. And now, when a·empts are being made to hold the.

Sri Lankan government responsible for its war crimes in UN Human Rights Council.

session in Geneva, the UPA is once again shamefully remaining silent and refusing.

to take a strong and principled posi·on against Sri Lanka..

.

Moreover let us not forget that the ruling-class par·es in Tamil Nadu, including the.

DMK and AIADMK, while shedding crocodile tears for the Tamilians in Sri Lanka, never.

raise a word against nor fulfil their responsibili·es towards the pathe·c condi·ons.

in which Tamil refugees from Sri Lanka live in different refugee camps here in India..

The refugee camps for the Sri Lankan Tamil in India are virtual open prisons, marked.

Tamil Nadu and West Ben~al:A VerdictA2ainst Corruption and Corporate Loot .

Theverdict in Tamil Nadu and West Bengal is a ve1·dict against corruption, against corporateland grab, .

corporate loot and state repression. The verdict is a clear indication ofpeople's anger and the mass sentiment .

against comtption and against the state's role in actively aiding andabetting corporate interests over and above the .

interests ofthep oorandpeasantry . The DMK has paidfor shamefully shieldingA. Raja and its other corrupt leaders: .

AIADMKhas come back to powerwith a record tnargin. .

In Bengal, the \vriting has long beenon the wall, and the people~s tnandate was by no means unexpected. The left .

front has managed to \lvin only 62 seats as against 226 ofthe TMC-led cotnbine; 26 outof34 ministers in outgoing .

West Bengal government have notjust lost they have lost by huge margins.This includes ex-chiefminister Buddhadeb .

.

Bhattacharya (who was defeated by his fonnerchiefsecretary by a xnargin ofalmost 17,000 votes), and CPI(M) .

heavyweights favoring the corporate lobbies and violent goon culture like Nirupam Sen,Asi1n Dasgupta, Ashok .

Bhattacharya ancGautam Deb. The margin oftheirdefeats nm as high as 26,000 to 36,000 votes!In fact the outgoing .

land reforms ministerAbdurRazzak Molla, who attimes offered a semblance ofopposition to the CPI(M)'s policy of .

corporate land grab and forcible land acquisition, has been a rare exception by managing to retain his seat His win, in .

the fare ofthe routreceivedoy CPI(M) is yet another proofthat the mandate in WestBengal was amandate against .

land acquisition and corporate land grab.The CPI(M) has been routed out frmn most ofits erstwhile 'citadels', and .

this isthe tnost ignominious electoral defeat for the CPI(M). Ithas in fact been relegated to third position in the .

Vvest Btnga!, \'t'ith even the Congress winning mo:r~ se~ts. CPI(M) has got 41 seats while Congress has .

.

managed 42 seats. .

In Kerala too, the CPI(NI) paid for its role in trying to coverup the corruption scandals surrounding Pinarayi .

Vijayan, and also for its pro-privatization, pro-corporate, anti-people policies. Thepeople ofK.eralahave not forgotten .

ho"~evel'l"Achuthanandan and the LDF government in Kerala sold public sector units in Kerala and started the "smart .

city" project .

'Responses' to the CPl-CPI(M)'s Defeat .

After the electoral drubbing received by the CPI-CPI(M), we have seen two kinds ofresponses. On the one · ~ hand, right-wing forces like the Congress and the BJP are busy celebrating the so-called 'end' ofcommunism. Rigbt-~nganalystS are claimmg that left ideology is "outdated", "ilrelevant'' and that the 'left' is defeated as it bas "failed to . move Withthe times''. On the otherhand, the CPI(M), even after this historic defeat at the hands ofthe people of Bengal is claiming that this is a result of a mere right-wing consolidation against con11nunism. Both these assessments areflawed, and at a time when several reactionary forces are trying to write the obituaryofcommunism in India,it is essential to understand the real importance ofthe \Vest Bengal-mattdate. TheTrinamoo!Congress has undoubtedly won in Wc.st Bengal: however this win ~s not so much a m~datefor Mamata Banerjee and the TMC, than a mandate against the CPl(M) government. Moreover, it is nota defeat of the left aspirations and principles, it is rather a defeat ofCPI(M)'s opportunism and neo-liberal shift, \Vhich Mamata Banerjee cleverly and opportunistically used, picking up the the very same left language and~ issues which CPI(M) choseto abandon.The people ofBengal, includingseveral ofCPI(M)'s own loyal supporters, had fora longtime been protestingagrunstthe CPI-CPI(M)'s policies offorcible land acquisition, ofprivatization and f.:. .

betrayal ofworking class interests. ·when the CPI-CPI(M) arrogantly refused to listen to the demands ofthe people, ~ .

--Mamata's opportunist but cleverly coined slogan of'ma-maati-maoush' obviously struck a chord with iliepeople of -d .

Benga1. Right-wing reactionary forces always try to opportunisticallycapture people's popularsentiments against toanti-people policies-we have been ho\v Rahul Gandhi recently employed these tactics in UP, riding on tbe massive anti-land acquisition sentiment. The same Rahul Gandhi, wh~seUPA is paving the way for land acquisition in Jaitapur ~ and POSCO, tried to pose himselfas an ''anti-land grab" hero! SimilarJy, the Shiv Senabas tried to champion P.T.O. .

almost every progressive initiative of Ambedakar, and are today perpetuating the worst forms of reactionary caste violence in various parts of the country. .

....... .

., The' history of the parliamentary ·left is not any different While paying lip-service to Ambedkars .legacy of fighting r caste and Barhminism, the pseudo-left ·;n each instance has stood with the ruling classes and strengthened the semi-feudal structure of the country. As Anand Teltumbde reminds us, in Nandigram in West Bengal, it was not just farmers who were killed by the social-fascist CPM. Rather, it was precisely landless peasantry from oppressed castes who were killed in the hands of harmad vahini and police in a feudal violence, which can also be termed as caste atrocities. And CPM has nurtured its own vigilante gang -the harmad vahini, much like the Ranveer Sena. The much touted land reforms in West Bengal have only benefitted the middle and landed peasantry from the dominant castes while the dalits and other oppressed castes continue to live at subsistence level. When CPM sees no problem in allying with the reactionary castaist AIADMK as per its electoral calculations,it merely reveals its hollow claims of fighting against caste. Some others, even those claiming for themselves the appellation of Marxism-Leninism and the legacy of Naxalbari have also not been left too far behind. From aJlying with CPM to Nitish Kumar, to going into peace deals with Ranveer Sana, CPI(ML) Liberation has also revealed itself as a completely opportunist force committed to blunting the anger of the people against this Brahmanical and feudal system. Liberation's peace deals with the Ranveer Sena and leaving the dalit masses unarmed to face the wrath of the Ranveer Sena when it was carrying out massacres of hundreds of dalits in Bihar .

'· perfectly exemplifies how it has betrayed the fight against caste oppression and feudalism. That on-ground and militant struggle to annihilate caste and smash feudalism after all does not fit into its electoral scheme of things. Despite the best of attempts of all parliamentary parties of rendering him into a harmless icon, to be merely .

remembered and garlanded every 14th April, Ambedkar's legacy continues to threaten this state, as it did Hindu .

Brahminical order and Gandhis and Nehrus in his days. In many parts of the country, the mere possession of .

Ambedkars works have come to constitute sedition and war against the state! We may all recall the arrests of Dalit .

activists in Maharashtra like Sudhir Dhawale for possessing books of Ambedkar or more recently the witch hunting of the .

members of Kabir Kala Manch. Why is it that the Indian fears the words of Ambedkar-someone who in fact wrote the .

constitution? This witch-hunt is only explained by the fact that Ambedkar's uncompromising commitment to the .

annihilation of caste will always remain a threat to the ruling classes of this country, as it inspires many a struggle which .

cannot always be neatly co-opted into the quagmire of parliamentary politics. Ambedkar's insistence on seeing the .

material reality of caste, as he pointed out in his famous statement that caste is not merely a drvision of labourers but also .

a division of labourers, as well as the ideological aspect of it as he pointed out how that the level of consciousness .

remains largely a caste consciousness in India reflects an extremely nuanced understanding of the caste question, .

something that the pseudo left fails to see even today. A fight against the prevailing exploitative social relationship .

rJ..,,. ·. .

therefore cannot be delinked with the struggle to smash caste as principle of social relations as well as caste as .

consciousness and Brahmanical ideology. So while he relentlessly tried organizing workers, participated in labour .

movements, drew up alternative plans of progressive land distribution, he equally laid stress on channelizing such .

struggle against the caste system and untouchability. The pseudo-left of his time betrayed him unabashedly to become a hunting-dog for Nehrus and Gandhis. One may recall the historic strike of mill workers m Bombay, when Ambedkar's proposal of passing a resolution against untouchability and caste division was rejected by the CPI on the pretext that it would divide the workers. They failed to see that in the social reality of India, the oppressed masses are already divided and a true solidarity can only be built on the basis of all forms of equality, be it class or caste. .

power, despite the parliamentary left's betrayal. Unfortunately, the Dalit movement has also fallen prey to the Indian state's various strategies to divert the attention of the Dalit masses away from questioning the very roots of caste oppression. While on the one hand, the Indian state has co-opted a section of dalit leadership, on the other parliamentary left's betrayal of the fight against caste has also led to suspicion of Marxism amongst dalit groups. However, it is important :: to re-iterate that the two cannot and should not be seen as exclusive of each other. To annthilate caste we must strike at the root of semi-feudal relations that prevails in the society. The revolutionary experience in Andhra Pradesh and Bihar, and now in Maharasthra and many other parts of the country shows that this fight can only be fought by allying with all other oppressed groups against the dominant caste/feudal landed sections, as well as the forces of imperialist capital that is strengthening and fortifying feudalism and caste oppression, along with simultaneously fighting against the Brahmanical ideology, which leases caste an autonomous existence. And all these struggles are enriched and strengthened by the vision of Babasaheb Ambedkar. DSU firmly believes that only true homage to Ambedkar on his birth anniversary is to acknowledge the political goal of annihilating caste as the only way to democratize this feudal caste society and infuse new life in anti-caste movement linking it with all other progressive, democratic and revolutionary .

movements going on in the Indian sub-continent. .

Tigers formed in 1972 was renamed as LTTE. Vilification and demonization of LTTE cannot obliterate the fact that, as Pilger reminds us, the LTTE was the product, not the cause, of an injustice and a war that long predate them. We do share the democratic opinion that condemned the killing of Rajiv Gandhi in Indian soil and of other Sinhala and Tamil political leaders in Sri Lanka. We also have our share of criticism of the ways and means of LTTE and Prabakaran. Prabakaran was a leader of the Tamil national self-determination struggle and not a communist or socialist as he claimed on some occasions. Prabakarans excessive reliance on military might and intolerance to dissent without any long term political strategy and diplomacy that could tilt the balance of forces in favour of his own ideal of Tamil Eelam was a major flaw. But these cannot justify the killings of tens of thousands of innocent Tamil masses by the Sri Lankan military offensive. .

Indias Complicity .

The Indian governments complicity with the genocide of Tamils -supplying arms, ammunitions and other logistics for the Sri Lankan government in the war against Tamils is a matter of great shame. Civil liberty and Tamil activists protesting against the Indian army convoys suspected of supplying arms to the Lankan army have been arrested and jailed in Coimbatore recently, thus muzzling dissent even in India. This incident also disproves the Indian claim of no involvement in the war against Tamils in Sri Lanka. In Tamil Nadu itself, all bourgeois parties including DMK, PMK and AIADMK, have only played politics on the corpse of thousands of Tamil masses in Sri Lanka in order to promote their own electoral prospects. Neither the Karunanidhis election stunt of fasting (in order to cover up an alliance with the same Congress Government that was busy supplying arms to Lanka.), nor the presence of dozens of Tamil ministers of various parties in the central government could stop the war. After actively and ruthlessly opposing the struggle for independent Eelam all these years, Jayalalithas sudden election time promise of Separate Tamil Eelam when Tamil people were on the run to save their lives was the biggest fraud on the people of Tamil Nadu. After the elections, even as the public humiliation by the Lankan Army of Prabakarans body was being played out on TV, Tamil Nadu Chief Minister Karunanidhi was busy bargaining for ministerial berths for his family in the Central government. As long as the fundamental issues involving the aspirations of Tamil masses in Sri Lanka are not resolved with dignity and justice, military elimination of LTTE and Prabakaran may only be a beginning of another round of newer forms of struggle for national self-determination of Tamil people in Sri Lanka. Everything has not come to an end with the elimination of LTTE, but rather a fresh chapter has only begun. Occupation, domination and discrimination will always give rise to resistance .

Anti-dalit violence in Campuses .

It is impossible not to be shocked after seeing the murderous violence against dalit students inside Dr. B.R. Ambedkar govt. Law College, by students belonging to Mukkulathor Manavar Peravai (Mukkulathor Students Forum or MKSF). .

It all started with posters being put up for the celebration of Thevar Jayanthi by MKSF, the youth wing of Thevar Peravai which mentioned the college name as Chennai Law College omitting Dr. B.R. Ambedkars name. This was objected to by many Dalit Students, mostly hostellers (149 in all). This resulted in unprecedented violence on the campus. The fact that the police personnel were present just outside the campus premises shows that they were aware of the burning issue and expected some untoward happenings. But it is shameful that the police failed to curb the violence, just as it is condemnable that the college has delayed giving permission to police to enter the campus. .

Similar violence occurred in 2002 as well. An Inquiry Committee under retired Madras High Court Judge .

K.S. Bakthavatsalam was set up. The Madras High Court issued a notice to take action against police personnel who failed to act, but even now a similar trend follows. Anyone familiar with the history of Tamil Nadu must be aware that the first massacre of Dalits in post independence India took place in Kileranamani village, Thanjavur district where more than 35 people, mostly women and children, were burnt alive by the murderers belonging to locally powerful upper caste gentry in 1969. Dalits account for 19% of states total population i.e. 1.18 crore (2001 census) and have 18% reservation. .

Such discrimination still continues. To cite an example: In Periakaapankulam village in Virclachalam taluk of Cuddalore district, Dalits were forced to bury their family members in front of their houses because upper caste Hindus hold majority of land and deprived dalits of the burial ground they had been using for several decades .

Regulations Act for making payments or collecting funds from Non-Governmental Organisations to run the aforementioned magazine. However, it is crystal clear that Tissanayagams only fault is that he published a horrific account of the Sri Lankan government shelled a coastal town and tried to drive out its population in the war which was going on at the time. .

Tissanayagams case is unfortunately no exception: in Sri Lanka, anyone raising their voice against the governments continuing assaults against the Tamilian population of the country faces similar punishment. In January 2009, Journalist Lasantha Wickrematunge was killed in one of the most widely reported murders by the Sri Lankan government. 18 journalists have been killed in Sri Lanka in the last two years. 28 journalists have been brutalised and beaten up. Many others are behind bars. .

Even after the Mahela Rajapaksha governments much-touted triumph in the war on terror against the LTTE, lakhs of innocent Tamilian civilians continue to remain displaced from their homes and languish in refugee camps. All dissent, all independent views, are ruthlessly suppressed not just about the war but even about corruption, misuse of Government funds, etc. .

The UPA governments complicity with the ethnic genocide in Sri Lanka and the continuing silencing of voices of dissent is shamefully more than mere silence. The UPA government continues to supply arms, ammunitions and other logistics for the Sri Lankan government in the war against Tamils. The role of the range of Tamilnadu parties on the Sri Lankan Tamil question reeks of naked opportunism. When the elections were on, the DMK, PMK, AIADMK and other parties vied with each other to shed crocodile tears for the Tamils plight in Sri Lanka and indulge in competitive histrionics to cash on the genuine anguish and concern among people. Once the elections are over, all was forgotten. Jayalalitha, who during elections had done a volte face to suddenly turn supporter of the cause for a separate Eelam after having opposed it all along, has lapsed back into silence. .

Tissanayagams imprisonment for raising his voice against state-terror finds echoes in India too we have not forgotten how the Chhattisgarh government imprisoned Dr. Binayak Sen for two years without a shred of evidence, merely to punish him for speaking out against the murderous ongoing Salwa Judum campaign in the name of fighting Maoist violence. AISA appeals to the student community with democratic voices from all over the world demanding immediate and unconditional release of Tissanayagam. .

Nitish Kumar, who did not quit the NDA alliance in 2002, has broken his marathon alliance with BJP and now claims to be'secular'. NCP leader Sharad Pawar too recently tried to indicate that the 2002 genocide was no longer an issue. Earlier too,Chandrababu Naidu, convenor of the United Front, formed on a solely 'a nti-communal.

' plank, had moved over to the NDAwithout a qualm and doing it once again. .

For the opportunists, anti-communalism is merely a convenient cloak that can be donned or doffed depending on the.

prevailing political winds. The ruling class parties have reduced anti-communalism to shameless, unprincipledopportunism. .

The Aam Aadmi Party claims to be above such opportunism -yet they too seem prone to reducing anti-communalism.

to selective posturing. Addressing Muslim academics and citizens at Indian Islamic Cultural Centre recently, Arvind Kejriwalobserved that communalism is an even greater dangerforthe country than corruption. One wonders why the AAP can speakof this truth to an audience of Muslims, who are already acutely aware ofthe dangers of communalism because they are it s.

worst victims, but will otherwise speak only of corruption, never of communalism? Why is the AAP calculatedly silent on thecommunal violence in Muzaffarnagar, notfarfrom Delhi and Haryana.where the AAP enjoyconsiderable political strength? Even on the question of economic policy, the AAP has shown that it lacks the will to provide a clean break from thedisastrous neo-liberal doctrine espoused by both the Congress and the BJP -it instead makes a deeply misleading andopportunist 'distinction' between capitalism and 'crony' capitalism, between so-called 'honest' capitalism and .

'corrupt' businessand are willing to hand over natural resources to private corporates albeit through 'transparent' bidding! .

Just a month back on 10 February, CPI-CPIM, with much fanfare, started rehearsing again with their ever-failed 'ThirdFront' model, proclaiming this loosely cobbled coalition to be committed to resisting communalism and neoliberaleconomic policies. This 'Third Front' included several parties who have been BJP allies or part ofthe BJP, some till very recently.

-JDU, BJD, AIADMK, and JVM(P) -and are now adopting a 'secular' posture. It also includes the Samajwadi Party which hasmocked its secular pretensions by presiding over the worst communal riots and eviction of poor Muslims from villages inMuzaffarnagar and adjoining districts. The BJD was similarly implicated in the anti-Christian riots in Kandhamal..

Stitching together opportunists ofvarious hues in the name of 'anti-communalism' can only erode the credibility of theessential, urgent struggle against communalism. None of the constituents of the so-called 'Third Front' have anycommitment to replacing pro-corporate economic policies with pro-poor policies. The BJD, for instance, is presiding.

over the worst forced land grab and corporate plunder in Odisha, unleashing repression on protesting adivasis and Leftactivists. To tout an alliance with such forces as an 'alternative' is a great disservice to people's struggles againstcorporate plunder and communalism. .

No wonder, within days, this congenital hollowness and insincerity of the CPI-CPIM version of 'Third Front' stood.

exposed for what is. In less than a month since the 11-party grouping met in Delhi on 10 February, the Front is showing tears.

and strains. The AI ADM K has coolly walked out ofthe Front leaving CPIM high and dry: clearly because Jayalalithaa would liketo keep the option ofsupporting Modi (or Mamata), as the situation may demand, post elections. In other states too, including.

Bihar and Odisha, the seat-sharing arrangements with JDU and BJD are seeing the CPIM and CPI cut a sorry figure. Clearly,.

such a Front cobbled together with parties without the slightest consistency or secular-democratic principles, cannot possiblyoffer any resistance to the BJP. These developments hold a lesson for the CPI and CPIM. Time and again, their model ofessentially opportunist alliances covered by the fig leaf of 'secular front,' 'common minimum programme.

' or 'third front' haveonly discredited and tarnished the cause of struggles against communal forces and neoliberal policies. .

Corporate media, which is anyway dancing to the Modi tune, is using these opportunist twists and turns to rubbish thevery danger real danger of communalism entirely and dub it 'irrelevant.' But as conscientious people of this country CANwe afford to forget that in 2002, real people were massacred, real women's bodies were ripped apart, real children were killed.

or scarred for life, thanks to a genocide planned and sponsored by the State Government and executed in cold-blood. And thesame happened in 1984. Again in Muzaffarnagar, political forces-communal and opportunist-colluded t o ensure that poor.

Muslim families were killed or evicted from their homes and land.ln Kandhamal the Christian minorities faced the same fate.The question of truth, justice, and reparation for these crimes CAN NEVER BE IRRELEVANT-their relevance cannot be.

left to the mercies of opportunist political parties. Nor can the real issues of displacement of tribals and peasants, openloot of land, forests, minerals and water by the corporates under state patronage be allowed to be covered up underthe demagogy of 'development'! .

To confront Modi's united front of communal-corporate thuggery, we cannot possibly rely on political opportunistswith a track record of promoting corporate plunder and complete lack of consistent anti-communal principles andpractice. People's movement forces and the left, instead of passively relying on such opportunist and unprincipled.

Barack Obama stated in 2010 that the establishment of an independent Palestinian state should happen. Palestinians.

have now dared to call his bluff by demanding statehood and recognition in the UN. If the US vetoes Palestine's.

application (as widely expected), it will be yet another expose of US imperialism and Israel's expansionist agenda..

Evidence has been pouring in that confirm the appalling genocide and atrocities against Tamils in Sri Lanka, during.

and after the war. Even today, the Tamils in Sri Lanka live in inhumaan conditions, subjected to humiliation and.

violations of their dignity and rights. The perpetrators of war crimes and atrocities go scot free. India's role in this.

crime against humanity is particularly shameful, with the Indian Government providing military aid to the war on.

Tamils and continuing to tacitly approve of the treatment of Tamils in Sri Lanka..

.

NATIONAL SITUATION.

.

In our own country too, protests against corruption and corporate land grab rocked the ruling establishment. In the.

backdrop of huge scams - CWG, 2G, KG Basin, Adarsh, Bellary - we are witnessing massive public anger and a.

welcome popular upsurge against corruption. Three chief ministers - two from the BJP and one from the Congress -.

have already had to resign. In May this year, the AIADMK registered a landslide victory in the legislative elections,.

riding on an anti-corruption wave in the state against the DMK government. Two former central ministers and two.

more MPs are in jail. The complicity of former finance minister (currently minister of home affairs) P Chidambaram.

in the 2G scam has been hinted by none other than the current Finance Minister. The Radia tapes revealed the.

corrupt corporate stranglehold over Indian democratic institutions, including parliament, political parties and the.

media. The Wikileaks revelations exposed how the UPA Government and Congress leaders, as well as the.

Opposition BJP, vie with each other to appease US imperialist interests..

.

The beleaguered UPA, bogged by scams and scandals, was forced to concede to a popular demand for a Lokpal.

legislation to counter the immunity that the corrupt enjoy as of now. However, the UPA's Lokpal Bill was nothing.

but a mockery of people's aspirations for an effective anti-corruption law. Following the movement led by Anna.

Hazare for a Jan Lokpal legislation, the UPA agreed to modify its draft legislation. In the days to come, the.

progressive and democratic forces will have to remain vigilant against the machinations of the ruling class parties, in.

order to ensure that the Lokpal Bill finally passed is as effective as possible. However, the issue of corruption cannot.

be handled simply by instituting an anti-corruption legislation - however strong it might be. The roots of corruption.

lie in the neo-liberal economic policies of privatization which encourage a regime of corporate loot of resources..

Therefore, the issue of corruption and corporate loot are intrinsically linked to each other: a connection that all ruling.

class parties, which are busy supporting the neo-liberal regime, are desperate to hide..

.

With the UPA desperately trying to defend this regime of corruption and corporate loot, the BJP has equally.

desperately been trying its level best to capitalise on people's genuine anti-corruption sentiment across the country..

L.K. Advani has now started a `rath yatra' - this time, for `good governance and clean politics'. With the Gujarat.

genocide and fake encounters coming to national attention again, Advani's rath yatra brings back chilling memories.

of his Mandir rath yatra of the early 1990s, with its legacy of hate-mongering and communal violence. Moreover, it.

is clear that wherever Advani's `rath' goes, its slogans of `clean politics' and `good governance' will be mocked by.

the embarrassing instances of its own rampant corruption, corporate plunder, communal violence and brutal.

repression in BJP-ruled states of Karnataka, Uttarakhand, Gujarat, MP and Chhattisgarh. For example, in Gujarat, In.

Gujarat, Narendra Modi is desperately trying to avoid a proper probe into as many as 17 scams that have taken place.

in the recent past..

The results ofthe recent elections in five states are out. While in Tami Nadu, the AIADMK has registered a landslide ~tmy1iding on an'anti-com.tption wave in the state, the CPI(M)-led left fi·ont ovemmenthas been absolutely routed in \Vest Bengal. In Kerala, the Congress-led UDFhas managed a thin majori over the CPI(M)-led left front and inAssam Tarun Gogoi has come back to power for the third consecutive time ben tting from a virtual absence ot an effective opposition. 1 ' .

Tamil Nadu and \!Vest Bcn2"al: A VerdictAeainst C~rruption an'tl Corpora~ Loot The verdict in Tamil Nadu and West Bengal is a verdict against corruption, against corporate land grab, corporate loot and state repression.

The DMKhas paidforsbcnnefully shieldingA. Raja and its othercorrupt leader;;· AlADMKhas come back to power with arecordtnargin. .

In Bengal, the writing has long been on the wall, and the people's 1nandate was by no means unexpected. The left front bas managed to win only 62 seats as against 226 ofthe TMC-led combine; 26 out of34 ministers in outgoing West Bengal goven11nent have notjust lost. tlley have lost by huge n1argins. TI1is includes ex-chief minister Buddbadeb Bhattacharya (\\'ho was defeated by his fanner chief secretary by a rnargin ofalmost 17,000 votes), and CPI(M) heavyweights favoring the corporate lobbies and violent goon culture like Nirupam Sen, AsimDasgupta, Ashok Bhattacharya and Gautam Deb. The margin oftheir defeats run as high as 26,000 to 36,000 votes! Infact. the outgoing landrefonns ministerAbdur Razzak Molla, who attimes offered a semblance ofopposition to the CPI(M) 's policy of cornorate land grab and forcible land acquisition, has been a rare exception by managing to retain his seat His win, in the face ofthe rout received by CPI(M) is yet another proof that the mandate in West Bengal was a mandate against land acquisition and corporate land grab. The CPI(M) has been routed out from most ofits erstwhile 'citadels', and this is the most ignominious electoral defeat for the CPI(M). It has in fact been relegated to third position in the West Bengal, with even the Congress winning mor:e seats. C?I(M) bas got 41 seats while Congress has managed 42 seats. .

. .

In Kerala too, the CPI(M) paid for its role in trying to cover up the corruption scandals surrounding Pinarayi Vijayan? and also for its pro-privatization, pro-corporate, anti-people policies.

After the electoral drubbing received by the CPI-CPI(M), we have seen two kinds ofresponses. On the one hand, right-wing forces like the Congress and the BJP are busy celebrating the so-called '·end' ofcommunism. Right-.

· wing ~nalysts are claiming that left ideology is "outdate~levant'~and thatthe·'left' is defeatedas ithas "failed to move with the times". On the other hand, the CPI(M), even after this historic defeat at the bands ofthe people of Bengalis claimingthat this is a result ofa mere right-wing consolidation against communism. Both these assessments are flawed, and at a time when several reactionary forc"es are trying to write the obituary ofcommunism in India, itis essential to understand the real importance ofthe West Bengal mandate. .

parliamentary parties need communal fascism to be alive. It is required for them to prevent the people.

~o correctly identifying the forces tha·t keep them in their in their deplorable cond-ition. To project a~.

tllusory enemy to shield the real. To keep the people divided and make the ruling classes and thetr.

governments but it never changes the anti-people policies of the Indian state. Be it NDA or UPA, parties more secure in their seats of power. Thus communal frenzy and riots sometimes change.

Narendra Modi or Buddhadev Bhattacharya, the IMF-World bank dictated new economic policy continuesat both the centre and state level. .

It is the underdevelopment and the economic crisis that feeds the fire of communal fascism.So, Sangh Parivar can't be fought by just projecting the 'soft hindutwa' line of Congress as the 'secular.

alternative. While the RSS-BJP is communal fascist in a programmatic way, the Congress too is given to.

'communalism in an opportunistic way. The Congress has not only used the religious communal card time.

and again for its own benefit (the anti-Sikh riots being the most glaring example), it has also, many atimes stood silent spectator or tacit supporter when communal frenzy has rocked our society (think of.

Ayodhya, think of Mumbal riots, think of Gujarat). The same can be said for almost all the parllamenta.ry.

parties one can think of. Even the so-called 'left front' government tries to give a communal colour to.

the anti-SEZ, anti land grab people's movement in Nandigram by citing the presence of a large number.

of muslim peasants and a few muslim organisations in the struggle. In their rule also nothing in the.

name of economic and material opportunity evet: really reaches the muslim m-asses, who are routinelydemonized and discriminated against. The Sachar: Committe.e report bears g\aring testimony to theappalling condition of the muslim community throughout India, including in thethe shameless electoral allianc;e of the parliamentary 'left' 'left' ruled states. And.

with right wing communal parties, past or.

future allies of BJP, like AIADMK, TOP, JD(U) or BJD simply makes a mockery of their tall claims of being.

'secular'. Their pretension of 'secularism' only strengthens the communal fascist forces..

The parliamentary parties and their vote-bank politics can never root out communal fascism..

Neither can the various agencies and institutions of the state machinery, be it police or the court can.

fight communal fascism. Gujarat, Mumbai, Delhi, Kandhmal... supporting and shielding of the.

perpetrators and denial of justice to the victims remains the common narrative everywhere. For a state.

like India, where the very fabric is woven by brahminical hlndutva, none of the state machinery will ever.

remain unbiased towards people. The state as an organ of class rule will only serve the purposes of the.

ruling class. Thus the biggest ally of imperialism has historically been fascism. In JNU too JNUSU.

leadership also has not done anything so far to ensure the punishment of these lumpens. The softpeddling of the lumpens by the administration after the Shankar Basu enquiry, the hushing up of the.

Chandrabhaga hostel incident, all went unopposed by the JNUSU. That is understandable as we also seefurious courting of right-wing votes by the so-called left during .the JNUSU elections. The JNUSUleadership that has completely succumbed before the administration ·now also makes no effort to socially.

marginalize these elements. And that also emboldens these communal lumpens to take the students fora stride. .

Communal fascism therefore can be defeated only by the people. The collective, united andconscious fight of the people can only defeat communal fascism. Like the people of Nandigram, who.

defeated all attempts to communalise their movement, to fight united against the state and the.

imperialist forces w~l~ were hell bent on grabbing their land to build an SEZ. In campus also we, theare .·.·, · ·:.· · · These communal fascists are the real minority. We must make sure.

215 People Convicted by Trial Court in t.he Vachathi Tribal Atrocities CaseUnite against Caste Atrocities and Violence against Women .

30.09. 11.

'After a legal battle that lasted two decades, the District & Sessions Court in Dharmapuri in Tamil Nadu.

announced the verdict in the case of massive atrocities and violence on the tribals in Vachathi village, by.

pronouncing 215 government officials as guilty on multifarious charges. Such a large conviction rate is rare inthe history of India's judicial system. On June 20, 1992, under the garb of search for sandalwoodsmuggling, a joint party of 108 policemen, 155 forest department personnel and 6 revenue officialsdescended on this hamlet of 665 people. From then on, the village was totally ransacked, with destructionof property, looting away the grain stock and killing off their cattle. The men in the village werephysically assaulted. But what was more gruesome was the gang rape of 18 women, including a 13-yearold girl by the men in uniform. The atrocities continued for next two days, as 133 of the villagers including90 women, 28 children and 15 men were taken into custody for alleged smuggling. In the police custody, the.

village head was insulted, the women were sexually harassed and others were further brutally assaulted. In fact,the atrocities on the women continued even while on their way to remand. For days, the village was desertedwith the people shifting to the adjacent forest in the fear offurther excesses. It took several days for this issue toeven reach the outside world, as information was suppressed following the connivance of police, forest officialsand district administration. .

The Long Struggle to Ensure Justice .

It was only following the intervention of the 1ami! Nadu Malaivaazh Makkal Sangam (Tamil Nadu Trib..1lPeoples' Association)-that held its district conference in the nearby Chitheri town on ih July-that rest of th<.:country even came to know about these gruesome atrocities. On July 21, a complaint was submitted to theTamil Nadu government on behalf of then late CPI(M) state secretary Comrade A.Nallasivan. Two factfinding teams-one of lawyers under Advocate Chamki Raj and another of CPI(M)-visited the village andcollected information. However, following a writ petition filed by Comrade Nallasivan in the Madras High.

Court in 1995, the case was handed over to the CBI for detailed investigation. .

However, various obstacles \Vere placed in the course of this legal struggle including connivance by di strictofficials to suppress information and distort the version of events. Despite such inhuman atrocities committedby the government officials, the AIADMK government only sought to put the entire blame on the tribal.

villagers, with the entire village being accused of being involved in sandalwood smuggling and having' mounted an attack' on the search party. Carrying the legal struggle forward, an inquiry by the Tamil NaduSC/ST Commission also corroborated the incidents, thereby further validating the excesses. The politicalstruggle for ensuring justice to the victims in Vachathi was led from the front by the Left forces underthe leadership of CPI(M). Various protest actions and mobilizations were organized by various massorganizations like SFI, DYFI, AlDWA, Tribal Peoples Association and Tamil Nadu Peasants Associationacross the state. P.Shanmugam, the President of Tribal Peoples Association, sat on an Indefinite Hunger Strikefrom where he was forcefully arrested on the fourth day. Among the Industrial Working Class, CITU collectedfunds and helped the villagers with es'.

sential items. The struggle also ensured that proper compensation waspaid to the victims in Vachathi. .

The Trial Court has given different quantum of punishment to all the surviving 215 accused (rest of the54 accused died during the trial period). Many were convicted under the Scheduled Castes andScheduled Tribes (Prevention of Atrocities) Act. However, the two-decade long legal battle also brings to.., fore the machinations by almost all arms of the state government to sabotage justice for the victims. SFl.

· believes that while definitely this is a victory for the people of Vachathi and the Left-Democratic forces wholed this struggle, it is also important that further struggles are waged to ensure that higher compensation is paid.

to all the victims. Though relentless struggles have ensured that such a large conviction was'possible in this.

case, the recent cases of Khairlanji and Mirchpur have also shown the travesty of justice, wherein n1any of theaccused were acquitted. Hence, it is all the n1ore pertinent that more valiant struggles are waged in the con1ingdays, to ensure justice in all cases of caste violence. SFI salutes the tireless struggle of the people of Vachathi.

for justice. .
