Indo-Sri Lanka Accord & A Painful Chapter Of India’s Military History
Вставка
- Опубліковано 14 сер 2024
- NEW DELHI: It was a unilateral accord, conceived and formulated by India and Sri Lanka, despite not being happy with it, had to sign on the dotted line. The Indo-Sri Lanka accord of 1987 also left the majority Sinhalese community of Sri Lanka angry and the Tamil Tigers sore. It also led to India’s first majority deployment abroad, in the form of the Indian Peace Keeping Force. In this episode of ‘Simply Nitin’, StratNews Global Editor-in-Chief Nitin A. Gokhale looks at a political blunder by India that led to a humiliating military defeat.

1, Rajiv was killed by "Third Eye" of India the most secretive, oldest and ruthless intelligence service in the world because Rajiv was not a fit and proper person to lead the Hinduthwa Samraj. 2. IPKF was sent to give Indian terrorist arm the LTTE live training in fighting the Sinhala Army. 3. During the same period Sinhala terrorist arm of India the JVP killed Sinhalese civilians and got themselves killed who were Sinhalese. 4, Bharat Samraj managed to kill more than 200,000 Sinhalese using their terrorist arms the LTTE and the JVP within few decades. 5, Not a bad outlay of of Jawans to add to the genocide of Sinhalese in an Indian colony.
This is why Sri Lankan gov prefers China over India. Sri Lankans do not trust Indians.
Rajiv and his mother were fools to believe Tamil nationalist.
Historically, as a major ethnic group in South India,
Tamils (Chola dynasty) have been attempting to invade Sinhalese land (Sri Lanka) for last 1000 years. But, they often failed due to Sinhalese resistance against them. Btw, Sinhalese were a minority group in South Asia.
So, what has been happening in SL is that, Tamils have been attempting to wipe out Sinhala Buddhist culture systematically. Next, EU imperialists favored Tamils over Sinhalese and Tamils took advantage of this.
Since 1840's Sinhala Buddhists started fighting against English while Tamils (mostly Christians) and Muslims supported English colonist. Hence, Sinhala Buddhists were subjected to extreme discrimination under English while Tamils were made a privileged community in SL.
In 1956, to minimize the unfair advantages enjoyed by Tamils and to open more opportunities
to Sinhalese community, SL gov made Sinhalese (the main language of SL) an official gov language of SL and Tamil as a national language.
With this reforms, Tamils, who previously worked in English and received almost all government jobs, now had to compete with Sinhalese. This was why they were against these reforms. The Elam war was nothing to do with Tamil language (gov considered it as a national language even in 1956). Tamils were threaten by losing the high status in Sri Lanka.
---- Elam WAR -----
Tamils DID NOT start this war. They even did not have any interest for a war or separate land because Sri Lankan Tamils have been always a privileged community even under Sinhala Kings (most SL Tamils were Pandian allies of Sinhalese kings). The war has nothing to do with Tamil discrimination. Majority of Tamils who took weapons were Christians or low cast Tamils who have been facing discriminations in a Hindu Tamil community. Most of these poor Tamils first targeted members of Tamil upper class.
In 1970s, Sri Lankan politics was favoring the left wing Soviet camp, just like India. But, by the end of that decade, Sri Lanka turned to right wing camp opening SL to the west. SL started having strong relationship with US. India was threatened by this new direction of Sri Lanka, and started working against Sri Lanka during Indira Gandhi's regime. She planted the seed for a separate Tamil land in SL and trained Tamils to take weapons. Being a mummy's boy, her son Rajiv simply attempted to move with same policies.
But, JR Jayawardana, was cleverly changed India's position. When Tamil nationalist did not receive support from Rajiv, they murdered him giving SL a further advantage.
As a sri lankan, I want to clarify some points mentioned in the video. In fact, there was no such distinction between Sinhalese and Tamils But sinhala nationalist politics and tamil nationalist politics had created an ideological divide between society. Apart from barbaric incidents such as the Black july led by political parties, the Tamil and Sinhalese people lived very cohesively in the countryside.
even culture and religion have been mixed together. there is a seperate rooms for Hindu gods in évery buddhist temple.. if you come to colombo you can see that "wellwatta" area majority is tamil and main jewelry owners and vendors of colombo city are tamil people. Fighting erupted between LTTE soldiers and government forces But civilians did not go to the conflict. So It is not fair to interpret the conflict between Sinhalese and Tamils'
Love and respect to you from tamil nadu. 👍
I respect your sentiments, and agree with a lot of what you said, however I think it overlooks so many developments post independence. The divisions between Sinhalese and Tamils were certainly exacerbated by the ruling political parties. There was much that happened before the brutality of the 1983 riots that brought about the civil war.
The Sinhala Only Act of 1956, the series of anti-Tamil pogroms/riots (1956, 1958, 1977), the policy of Standardization in the 1970s, which punished Tamil academic success by putting quotas on their university entrances. The way the government dealt with Tamils that protested peacefully during satyagraha. As well, as the 1981 burning of the Jaffna Library.
The country had so much potential, but it was squandered by narrow-minded and selfish politicians.
You hid the mass rapes and massacres of Tamil civilians, you hid the capture and deaths of the ltte leaders who the indian forces gave to the Sinhalese army on a plate, you hid the fast unto death by thileepan who made demands to the indian govt to protect the tamils, and how the indo Lanka accord addressed none of the major concerns (particularly protecting Tamil owned land from ethnic cleansing and Sinhala colonisation)
Now I understand why Nepal and Sri Lanka have hard feelings for India. Indira Gandhi stopped supplies to Nepal to force Nepal kneel down same goes with Rajeev Gandhi govt. when it tried to play big brother in Sri Lankan internal matters. These issues must be solved diplomatically not by bullying.
Killing people is not an internal matter and do you know many Indians are living in Ceylon?

I have heard about 3rd eye for the first time. Never heard of it. We used to think that Rajiv was killed by LTTE@@Gangdhiji
Sri Lankan adventure was a total failure and international humiliation for my country caused by a complete immature PM who was outfoxed by sly Jayawardhane, outcome we lost our 1200 hundred brave Indian souls, i was young but keenly follow that period and till today it bleeds me, our leaders had no Zeal and no real political motivation in this issue.
It must have scarred the then generation much more , as it still does !
@@highlandfarmer8917 no one is scarred. It was a learning lesson.
@@haridass4453 Dude you have no damn idea of Indian history to say India was never united earlier before British and it is simply ludicrous and foolish. India is a civilization power and has been united many times earlier such as under Mauryas and had a common civilization trend across the subcontinent .Going to srilanka was a mistake but Prabhakaran committed suicide when he decided to assassinate Rajiv Gandhi else he would have been alive today. India was the only country who could have helped him and he turned India against him.
Numerous civilian Tamilian massacres and rapes were committed by the IPKF during the conflict
@@haridass4453 Have you heard of Mauryan empire and Ashoka who was one of the old king under whom most of present India was under his rule around 2100 years earlier. India had common constant civilization trait of philosophy and Vedic culture across the country. Then as I said India is a civilization country which had a common thought process across the country such as vedas and the philosophical thought process and systems. Britishers had brought up Aryan invasion theory which has been brought by britishers to break up Indians to create rift between north and south India. And has been proven false by many scientific discoveries and DNA tests.
Nitin Ji, you are the best. Pls make a episode on Gen. Sundarji's role in Op. Brasstacks and IPKF.

I had read somewhere that there was some kind of issues with Prabhakaran and Rajiv Gandhi when they were in Ashoka hotel in new Delhi, which let to the mistrust between Rajiv Gandhi & LTTE Prabhakaran..!
Issues what I mean some ego issues, Rajiv Gandhi was taking decision without Prabhakaran's consent, he wants a separate country for Tamilan carved out of srilanka whereas Rajiv Gandhi doesn't want that..!
Yeah.. egos played some part.... both wanted the bigger pie

I really didn’t understand the part where you mentioned Prabhakaran was unhappy with accord so he returned and started killing Indian army soldiers . Guess that needs a bit of elaboration .
That was our mistake .

@@Gangdhiji source of info?
I have read that R&AW was playing its game to save prabhakaran to have some sort of edge over Colombo, thus indirectly acting against ipkf. Why were all players on the same page in this case? Did rajiv Gandhi's great success in China in 80s made him slightly overconfident in this case that he will eventually able to handle the situation?
Really appreciate StratnewsGlobal spending time on the IPKF chapter. That said, I would like to see Nitin cover the LTTE aspect in more depth, if possible. While the assassination of Rajiv Gandhi was merely one overt act of hostility by LTTE towards India, I want to understand whether LTTE harbored larger goals for itself; specifically some idea of a Tamil Eelam extending from Tamil Nadu in India to the whole of Sri Lanka and also including Malaysia. Finally, I hope Nitin is able to keep his word on unveiling the Hardeep Puri chapter in the near future.
@@haridass4453 Salute to u brother for writing such a long comment and actually put me in chaos after reading different perspective of this war. I think I need more thinking & broader aspect of this war, and for that I need authenticity and more related articles on the IPKF operations. Could u plz share more insights on these?
@@haridass4453 Prabhakaran being a Hindu is no guarantee of him not being anti India; as subsequent events clearly demonstrated. Also, Prabhakaran himself was responsible for atrocities on fellow Tamils; which resulted in the eradication of competing Tamil organizations (including those cited by you) and made LTTE the sole 'representative' of all Tamils in Sri Lanka.
From a geopolitical standpoint, India as a political construct is a fact. And therefore, is expected to uphold and if possible, expand its sphere of influence. From that standpoint, if Prabhakaran's initial string of successes made him 'giddy with power' and increasingly brutal at that; it is unsurprising that India should try to rein in its own 'creation' when it turned against its own 'master'. No personal sympathies for the Tamil 'cause' or the Sinhalas is going to change that which the Republic of India must do!
The Tamils were the 'card' Indira Gandhi played against Sri Lanka for its perfidy in the 1971 Indo-Pak war. Clearly, the Tamils were not game and now India can no longer count on them even when the Sinhalas under Rajapaksa have brought in the Chinese into the mix. Because the rest of India will not forget the Tamil backstab in a hurry. And that has the potential to lead to a rather dangerous situation of the Chinese supplanting the Tamils in Sri Lanka and posing threat to India's Southern Coast (starting with Tamil Nadu) for the first time since India's independence. Rajiv Gandhi was definitely immature; but the Tamils too are guilty of emotional instability. Unless ofcourse, India's Tamils want to welcome the Chinese to get back at India. Not inconceivable, if one goes by their attitude towards non-Tamils.

India did a bad mistake, by which srilankan tamils effecting nowadays also. Basically rationalism between Sinhalese and Tamils is not generated after independence, it's a culturally coming thing from when the kings Tamils (cholas) defeated and ruled the srilanka to the hate games made between Sinhalese and Tamils by British. So in my view srilankan tamils are part Sinhalese culture, their loyal must and should for thier Sinhala country, so any special rights shouldn't be given to Tamils, but need to be give equal rights with Sinhalese.
So we need consider both sides view and must encourage a solution for prosperity for of srilanka with coexistence of Sinhalese and Tamils.
Also srilankan tamils should be consider as Sinhalese
Tamils should integrate or return to Tamilnadu.
The problem in Sri Lanka was Dravidian ideology from Tamil Nadu
