Message: <blockquote data-quote="rapa" data-source="post: 903212" data-attributes="member: 212">The whole story behind Ealam is based on a myth which is based on hand picked isolated stories. However, the scholars supporting the Ealam myth has been shrewd enough to convince not only part of the Tamil community, but also certain elements of the international community.In 1977, after getting two third of the majority, one of the key decision taken by president J R Jayewardene was to remove teaching history in schools. The result was an immerging generation that do not know or lack in confidence in their true history. When south is doing away with history, the theoreticians in the north were busy inventing their own version of so called Ealam history and it is no doubt that Piribaharan had learned all these lesions in the path to create one of the most ruthless terrorist organization in the world.It is in this backdrop that one has to analyze the thinking of the enemy deciding the code name for their latest terrorist operation in Anuradhapura. Piribaharan’s choice for code name was ‘Operation Ellalan’. Why did he do so? It may have been due to the theatre of combat being Anuradhapura where king Ellalan or Elara (The south Indian invader) reigns for 44 years. The choice for Ellalan is to revive memories of the Elara-Gamunu conflict. Codenaming the operation after Ellalan strikes a responsive chord in the Tamil psyche and that is a necessary part of motivating the black tiger squad on suicidal mission and subsequent political targets.Apart from Colombo, LTTE has always choosing strategic national and cultural targets which include ‘Dalada Maligawa’ in Kandy and ‘Jaya Sri Maha Bodhi’ in Anuradhapura. It clearly shows the ethnic and religious hatred in LTTE terrorists.It is another son from Rohana, that has accepted the challenge after long regimes of mere political indifference or lack of confidence to challenge terrorism. And just like king Gamunu, he has already clear the Eastern province and started heavy pounding on the Wanni jungle in the north.Knowing his history lesions and knowing the importance of psychological aspects in war, Piribaharan has shown due concern even in selecting the code name for counter attack which can be marketed to the Tamil community.However, the Sinhala society which has been under the influence of indifferent politicians is having a media war on petty issues like ‘cost of living’ , ‘trade union rights’ with fancy names like ‘junta’, ‘Company of brothers’.This is exactly the mood in the south that Piribaharan is desperately seeking to buy time to get his heavily powdered war mechanism back on rails. In the attack on Katunayaka international air port, LTTE was succeeded in converting their military victory to political victory by imposing defeated psyche in south to elect so called peace friendly government and we have seen the consequences, a de facto regime for Piribaharan in the name of peace talks and much needed international recognition. The psycho-media mechanism is active again with the help of power politics in the south.Piribaharan has only a single mission and task that is to fight against the government. However, it is unfortunate reality that the government has to fight against various political parties having their own agendas while fighting against terrorists.While Piribaharan is trying to play the role of ‘Ellalan’ in Tamil community, The choice for Gamunu for some politically influenced media in South is not president Mahinda Rajapaksa, but a mere political clown named Mervin Silava. The local media should not forget the fact that every time Mervin Silva is branded as ‘Gamunu of Rohana’, it is the great heroic image of king Dutugamunu that they are indirectly diminishing, as a nation we must understand their agenda and people behind it.These paltry politicians and their hired media personals should not forget the fact that “Country must always be the first and not politics”. Only if we win the war against terrorists that politicos will have a country to do their petty politics.</blockquote>
