Meanwhile, in the Western Flank, the 58 Division/Task Force 1 is just 2.5kms south of Veduthalthivu. The 57 Division is also nearing the sea base from the East and has only 3.5kms to go. Tigers have by now vacated much of its mini camps from south of Veduthalthivu.
15 sla were killed and 30 sla injured and 2 bodies of sla were recovered in Thekkadu in mannar yesterday by successfully retaliating the advance of sla.

Nacho,
I think you are new here and you don't know me. I don't run away from the challenges from Sinhalayass. I read all your blabbering this morning.
It was after midnight and I had to go to work. If I don't work and pay taxes, Anud can't get Old age security pension and do his anti Tamil propaganda in this forum for 24/7. :))

| It is kind of sad that the only thing on TamilNut is a whining article about the Encyclopedia Britannica and World Factbook. The article itself is a few days old. Eelam is probably on the way. |

The Eezham Tamil formation was an active partner in the affairs of the state, economy and culture of the island throughout its history. Among the rulers of Sri Lanka there were some Tamils and many with Tamil connections. There were Tamil generals on the side of the Sinhala rulers who fought against invasions and imperial rule of the South Indian dynasties.
Historical developments eventually led the Eezham Tamil formation and the Sinhala formation to polarize separate geographical regions for them and to have separate kingdoms after 13th century CE. There are no evidences that they either waged war or competed on ethnic grounds during this phase. Confrontations were feudal but not cultural.
Tamil and Saivism received patronage even in the Sinhalese kingdoms without any animosity. The king of Kotte, Bhuvanehabahu VII, signed the treaty with the Portuguese in Tamil. At the fall of the last kingdom of Kandy to the British, one of the Kandian Chieftains, Ratwatta Disawa, the ancestor of Srimao Bandaranayake, signed the treaty in Tamil.
Modern concepts of nationalism based on language, religion, ethnicity etc have come to us especially through British colonialism.
History, which was evolved as a modern academic discipline in the 19th century Europe to become a handmaid of nationalism and imperialism also was introduced to us by this time.
The colonial Orientalist scholars, who were enthusiastic to invent Indo-Aryan cousins in this part of the world, created enough myths in that process for Brahminism in India and Sinhala-Buddhist elitism in Sri Lanka.
The partiality in historiography brought in new social gaps, confrontations and competition.
It should be noted that none of those Orientalist scholars who translated and brought to light the Sanskrit texts and Buddhist cannons ever attempted to do the same to the Tamil texts. The ancient Tamil texts had to wait for Tamil scholars like Arumuga Navalar, Thamotharam Pillai and Saminathaiyar to see the light of publication. They still wait for a comprehensive translation.
The Tamil and Sinhala formations would have been understood by each other and by outsiders in a better sense, had culture studies been comparative than divisive. An example is that even today we don t have a comparative etymological dictionary between Tamil and Sinhala. The combination of Orientalism and nationalism in Sri Lanka chose the path of being exclusive than inclusive.
The combined result of the forces at work was the mischievous oversimplification of Sri Lankan History that the Sinhalese are Indo-Aryans who came from North India in the 6th century BCE and the Dravidian Tamils are later migrants who came as invaders, traders and mercenaries to snatch a part of the promised land of the Sinhalese away.
For that matter, late Tamil and Malayalee migrants can be found more among the Sinhalese, especially among their elite, as was with the case of the ancestors of the Bandaranayake and Jeyawardane families (James T. Rutnam).
To conclude in the words of a noted Sri Lankan historian, Prof. Leslie Gunawardana:
It is important to note that the Aryan theory was not merely something imposed from above by Orientalist scholars. It was eagerly welcomed by most Sinhala scholars who found the Aryan theory flattering in that it elevated them to the ranks of the kinsmen of their rulers (Colonialism, Ethnicity and the Construction of the Past, 1994)

Either the Sinhalayas are very funny people or 'they don't really add too much value to the truth'. :)
Why don't they ask their president to allow the independent journalists to Mannar and tell the truth to them. All the hype is based on defense Lanka punnaaku. :))
Nacho doesn't even know for sure, if they actually captured Mannar or Ponnaseka and the three stooges are taking him for a ride.
If they actually captured the territory, why are they so reluctant to allow the independent journalists to verify it. Instead of that they are locking up the journalists but he proudly ate the whole propaganda punnaaku and blabbering here.
Not only that, he has the nerve to ask me to believe him. :)))

39 civilians flee LTTE
Around 39 civilians fleeing from the grip of the LTTE in Mullaitivu sought protection with the Security Forces in Pulmodai on Wednesday evening, Military spokesman Udaya Nanayakkara said.
He said 39 civilians from 13 families comprising 26 males and 13 females had arrived on a boat fleeing from the LTTE controlled areas in Mullaitivu and reached Pulmodai around 3.00 pm. seeking protection with the Security Forces.
'The civilians who had fled from the LTTE's clutches complained that they had been forced by the LTTE to carry out hard tasks such as digging bunkers and other field jobs. They were also intimidated and prevented by the outfit from fleeing their area,' Brigadier Nanayakkara said. The Security Forces provided the civilians with essential needs and shelter. |
