 "Tamil-Canadians in the Greater Toronto Area organized a car rally Sunday, to condemn the destruction of the Mullivaikal memorial in Sri Lanka.

The Mullivaikal memorial is a series of stone sculptures commemorating the thousands of civilian Sri Lankan Tamils killed during the last phase of the country’s civil war between the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) and Sri Lankan government forces. The facade portrays events across the decades-long conflict from the burning of the Jaffna Library in 1983 to children killed in the 2009 civil war.

The memorial was unveiled in 2019 at the University of Jaffna and reportedly bulldozed by Sri Lankan authorities on Friday night.

The rally commenced at Brampton City Hall and drove down to Toronto City Hall and Queen’s Park.

Brampton mayor Patrick Brown called the move a form of “structural genocide” and condemned the move."

"The monument was knocked down on Friday, with UGC Chairman Sampath Amaratunge saying it was a threat to national unity in Sinhalese majority Sri Lanka."

"Union leader Pakianathan Uyanthan told BBC Tamil's Arun Prasad in Jaffna: "We have the right to mourn for our loved ones, who perished in the war. These people sacrificed their lives for the Tamil community.

"We are extremely pained by the demolition of this monument.""

The future of Tamil Eelam history based movies

Image
In the future, many will likely be introduced to Tamil Eelam's history through cinematic productions. History-based movies primarily enable the audience to learn more on their own. Presently, over a million people apart of the Tamil diaspora know the history of Tamil Eelam. Therefore, they can easily identify an anti-Tamil film, such as Family Man 2. However, the next generation of Tamil diaspora won't be able to recognize if any anti-Tamil production of Tamil Eelam history is being spread around as propaganda by anti-Tamil governments. Even though history books, video magazines, such as Oliveechchu , and archives still exist, visual content catches a wider audience. Otherwise, history can be twisted by powerful forces. Tamils have lost vast amounts of literature through the destruction of manuscripts driven by Hindu religious beliefs. In fact, Eelam Tamils democratically mandated Tamil Eelam as a separate country and the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) fought for the ...

The Introduction of the United States H.Res.413 Resolution and the Tamil Diaspora

Image
The Introduction of the United States H.Res.413 Resolution and the Tamil Diaspora The United States of America and Tamil diaspora relationship may be entering into a new phase with the introduction of the H.Res.413 resolution. H.Res 413 is calling for an international mechanism for crimes committed in Sri Lanka and also acknowledges the traditional Tamil homeland. This time, the Tamil diaspora should pay more attention to ensure Tamils will be treated as a partner, not just as a tool. As everyone knows, a world relationship works when both sides offer something and receive benefits in return. From the Tamil's side, the demands are always consistent, that as recognition for the Tamil homeland or Tamil Eelam and justice for Sri Lanka's genocide against Tamils. Even before 1976 or after 2009, (before or after the LTTE - Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam), this demand doesn't change. The current H.Res.413 that acknowledge this truth is an important step towards the right directi...
