Tamil Eelam History: This picture remains in every Tamil's memory forever and it represents every single Tamil in Eelam. A Tamil Youth stripped naked danced around by Sinhala thugs in Colombo during July 1983. This picture was taken before he was killed. Around 3000 Tamils were killed by Sinhala mobs, many Tamil women were raped, Tamils properties were destroyed and many thousands of Tamils shipped out from Colombo and surrounding to Tamil Eelam which is the Tamil's homeland. Tamils called it Black July and Sinhala thugs were provided security by the Sri Lankan army and police to execute the massacre, They were given voters list by government to identify Tamil's homes. It's clearly one incident of Sri Lanka's genocide against Tamils.
Even though Tamils democratically decided to fight for separate country in 1976, only a small level of militancy was there at the time. LTTE (Tamil Tigers) had less than 30 members by that time. After Black July, thousands of Tamil youths formed several militant groups. However, Tamil Tigers only allowed very few to join their ranks. Among 30 of militant groups existed that time and India armed them. India wanted the Tamil militant group under it's full control but Tamil Tigers were unique and they believed in stand in their own feet. From the start, Tamil Tigers were very disciplined, focused on resisting Sri Lanka's genocide and pushing out invaded Sri Lankan forces. Even in 1986, they had less than thousand members. Only in early 90s, after forming Tamil Eelam and became Tamil Eelam defense force, Tamil Tigers increased their ranks.
Before 1983, there were several pogroms against Tamils but after Tamil Eelam was formed, there were no such pogroms. From early 90s until May 2009, Tamils had dignity and their own country. The world failed to recognize that there were two nations before British came and Tamils were a sovereign nation. This failure costs many lives. If Tamils were given rights to rule themselves, even Sinhalese became a nation like Singapore.
Sinhala Buddhist monks instigate Sinhala's hate against Tamils claiming that the whole Island belongs to them. Even in 90s or after Tamil Eelam was destroyed. their hate didn't stop, and their aim is to eliminate Tamil identity and replace it with Sinhala Buddhist identity. After Tamil Tigers ceased to exist, hundreds of Buddhist temples built in Tamil's land and Tamils education have been systematically destroyed by introducing drugs. A slow and constant genocide is taking place.
