Results would likely correspond with the racial split between Tamils and the Sinhalas. All of this would happen after a vote throughout the provinces claimed by Tamil Eelam conducted by a neutral force – India. The western Province of Sri Lanka would be controlled by Sri Lanka. With this India still wouldn’t allow control over all claimed land and would instead settle on red, orange areas on the map above highlighting LTTE control as well as Peninsular Jaffna and some islands off their shore.Īlmost all of Sri Lanka’s Northern province and all of it’s Eastern provinces. The Tamil Tigers have to promise India greater control on the Island and greater fishing area in the marine border between India and them. How would Tamil Eelam form?Ī lot of events need to take place for Tamil Eelam to be created and luckily most of them are very likely events.įirst is that the Tamil Tigers would have to continuously positively increase relations with India, India being the Main peace keeping force and having a sway toward the Tamil Tigers because of a size-able population of Tamils who all supported the idea of a Tamil Eelam. ![]() ![]() Slowly, Some Tamils started feeling like they were disregarded by the Ethnic Majority and soon almost all Sri Lankan Tamils felt like this and it wasn’t long before some rights groups formed but LTTE was more radical and demanded independence of a Tamil Eelam. The Eelam Wars (4 in total) which toke place because of greater power being given to the Sinhalese majority, for example the Sinhala language was made the sole language in all of Sri Lanka and so the Tamils could not get a proper education, government jobs and the Sinhalese were specifically being chosen for Government jobs even if they were more unqualified than a Tamil. Classifying the Tamil Tigers as Terrorists would be wrong without mentioning what pushed the minority to do such horrendous acts. But LTTE only performed genocide of Sri Lankan citizens in response to selective killing of Tamils. The Tamil Tigers were also notably the only group classified as terrorists to acquire firearms. Now, starting with the topic: The Sri Lankan Civil War was a long and gruesome Civil War that killed tens of thousands of civilians. First, I want to clear up the fact that I’m mainly going to discuss the LTTE, more commonly known as the Tamil Tigers who were the only group insistent on a independent nation unlike the other groups who pushed for a autonomous region or more equal rights.
