Indira Gandhi Vs. The suppressed races of humanity!

This write-up is in reply to the statement of Mr. Perinbam Vaz in the Facebook wherein he says: 

“விடுதலைபுலிகளுக்கு உதவியவர்,கத்தி கொண்டு களத்துக்கு போவது யார் என்று தான் பார்க்க வேண்டும்,நோஞ்சான் கத்தி கொண்டு போனால் கத்தியையும் உயிரையும் இழப்பான்,அதே சமயம் கெட்டிகாரன் வெறும் கையுடன் சென்றாலும் வெற்றியுடன் திரும்புவான் இந்திரா காந்தி கச்ச தீவை தாரைவார்த்தாலும் இலங்கையை சரியான முறையில் கையாளும் திறன் அவருக்கு இருந்தது., கச்ச தீவை கொடுத்தது பெரிய தவறென்றால்,அதன் பின் வந்த்தவர்கள் அதை கையாண்ட விதம் மிக மிக தவறு.”

The reply: 

In regard to the so-called assistance by Indira to the Tigers, the fact is thatsuch make believe arrangements are meant only for this kind of propaganda. Indira Gandhi was not for Eelam, inspite of the fact that there was more justification for Eelam when comparedwith the justification for Bangladesh. This problem was after thenever-before-never-after-enmasse denial of citizenship rights to plantationTamils, for which she too played an active role to help her friendBandaranaike. It was Indira Gandhi who refused to meet Jaffna GandhiChelvanayakam in 1973 when she had gone to Colombo and enlarged the scope ofhumiliating the Plantation Tamils.

 If only she had met Chelva, in 1973, the subsequent need for militancy to find a solution to the Eelam problem in 1983, would, probably, not have arisen at all.

This was in the backdrop of the peaceful agitation launched by the Eelam Tamils with effect from 2nd  October 1972. 

Dinamani had editorially acknowledged this fact in its editorial dated 20.10.2012.

It is a fact that her father Jawaharlal Nehru had also refused to meet Jaffna Gandhi Chelva in 1958, although the Tamils there had been massacred in the first large-scale riot against Tamils by the Sinhalese led by Jayawardane. 

Kannadasan has immortalised the evil propensity of Jawaharlal Nehru in this regard:

Jawaharlal Nehru and Indira Gandhi had behaved thus in an imperious and callous manner because of the conspiratorial tendency of the bureaucrats of the Ministry of External Affairs, who played mischief against Tamils, in various matters, including Kachativu.

If only these two had not obeyed the command of the bureaucrats of the Ministry of External Affairs and evaluated the issues as per their conscience, lakhs of Tamils would not have been killed in Eelam and near Kachativu. Russian Prime Minister confirms the role of the officials in controlling the thoughts and actions of the people's representatives. "It's the court which makes the king" (The Hindu 15.09.2008).

Assam massacre and Indira Gandhi

Indira Gandhi had been personally responsible for the massacre of Assamese in 1983 also. She didnot, therefore, have any special sympathy for the rights of the people anywhere.

Bangladesh and Indira Gandhi

But,because, the Bengalis are, by nature, fighters for their rights (unlike theslavish attitude of Indian Tamils) and because she wanted to take 'thousandyears revenge' so seriously, she intervened for the liberation of Bangladesh. 

How shestarted the assistance to create Bangladesh can be seen from the followingexcerpt from the biography of Siddharth Shankar Ray: 

SiddharthShankar Ray, writes: 

In 1971, before the Bangladesh war, Indira Gandhi told methat she felt the Bangladesh Mukti Bahini (liberation army) would get a hugemorale boost if a Bengali-speaking minister from Delhi gave them a pep talk.She told me no one will ever know about this if you succeed and no one willblame you if you fail. This meant that the mission was not official. Of course,I understood. The status of the freedom movement under international law wasn’tclear then, and of course, India didn’t want to go around giving ‘moraleboosts’ to separatist movements in other countries. I never asked her to tellme whether she took this decision on her own or whether she consulted anyoneelse. I did go to East Pakistan, which included a tense stay at the home of afriend who was clearly worried about my safety but knew better than to ask.Then, there was a two-hour jeep ride deep into an East Bengal jungle where athousand boys greeted me by singing Amar Sonar Bangla. I was moved to tears.(Outlook 29.11.2010).

Absolute Power and  Absolute Corruption

She was the first prime minister of India to deposit ill-gotten money in Swiss banks,by utilising the services of the IAS Officers in the RAW and the FinanceMinistry.

There is nothing to glorify her. There is a lot of blood in her hands. More than 500Tamil fishermen have been shot dead by the Sinhalese only because of her 1976 agreement, which was more unlawful, than the 1974 agreement. She was, really,an enemy of the humanity. She cared only for her welfare and the welfare of her family members. 

Shah Commission

The contents of Shah Commission Report would reveal more about the manner in which she went around subverting democracy. It was a commission which functioned in a transparent and democratic manner, unlike the Sarkaria Commission, set up by her, which did not permit even cross examination of witnesses, during the period emergency and under the cover of censorship. The findings were true. That was why, she ensured that the Shah Commission Report was not kept anywhere in the nation, and destroyed all of them, after she came to power in 1980.

If all the Tamils know these facts, there would be no need for any agitation. The north-Indian politicians in power would realise that they have to abandon their anti-Tamils attitude, in spite of the advice to the contrary by the officials of the Ministry of External Affairs,  and treat the Tamils also as a part of humanity.
