EDITORIAL: Double-standards of the Indian ruling class: Tamil & Sikh plea for stale autonomy
A Sri Lanka team of legal experts had’ folks with Indian Govt. on 18.6. 1985 on s demand for grant ‘autonomy” for the Lankan Tamils. Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi fold his counterpart Lankan President Jayawardane, that unless “regional autonomy “is given to Tamils, it would be difficult to persuade Tamil Militants for give up the separate Eelam struggle. There is a good lot of similarity between the Tami land Sikh struggles. In Lanka, Aryan Baathists are oppressing the Tamil Dravidians and Tamils want a separate. homeland independent of Baathist oppressors. And in Punjab, the Aryan Hindus are oppressing the “non-Hindu” Sikhs, and the Sikhs want for be free from the Hindu “Franny”. Both have taken to armed struggle following bloody army actions by their “oppressors”. India says that Pakistan Is training Sikh militants and Sri Lanka alleges that India is training Tamil militants. The Tamils being “Hindus” are go pealing L 4 for “Hindu India” for protect them from genocide: And Xu Sikhs being “non-Hindus” are seeking international support to save them from genocide. Both are a religious as well as ethnic wars, The similarity end as here. Tamils are demanding separate Eelam but the Sikh Anandpur Sahib Resolution demands a full stare autonomy like all other struggling nationalities of Indian sub-continent We support only the Anandpur Sahib Resolution but not Khalistan and none of the Sikh organisations demand separate Khalistan. Strengthening of the states makes the country stronger. The Anandpur Resolution wants exactly this. But what perplexes us s while the Indian rueing class s supporting the Tamil Eelam demand. though foreigners, for state autonomy, the very same people are opposing the similar demand of the Sikhs who are not only paid of India but considered part of Hinduism. How can they apply one rule at home and another for outsiders? However, the Lankan Tamils have exposed that none of the Indian Hanau leaders has come for Lanka even to express solidarity. They say that this indifference of Hindu leaders made them to doubt that Indian ruing class comprising the Aryans are in secret league with the Lankan ruling class who are also Aryans.
