Thread: #அறிவோம்ஈழம்

ஈழப் போராட்டத்தில் ஈடுபட்ட பல இயக்கங்கள் வீழ்ச்சியடைய இந்திய உளவுத்துறையின் தலையீடே முக்கிய காரணமாக இருந்தது. TELO,EPRLF போன்ற இயக்கங்கள் இந்தியாவுக்கு சேவகம் செய்வதையே தங்கள் முதன்மை கடமையாக கொண்டிருந்தார்கள்.

PLOTE, TELO, EPRLF போன்ற இயக்கங்கள் வலுவடைந்திருந்த நிலையில், இந்திய அமைதி காக்கும் படை, அந்த மூன்று இயக்கங்களில் மிஞ்சிய எச்ச சொச்சங்களை வைத்து ENDLF என்ற ஒரு ஒட்டுக்குழுவை உருவாக்கியது.
ராஜீவ் படையின் இந்த ஒட்டுக்குழு தான் ஈழத்தில் சிறுவர்கள் கைகளில் ஆயுதங்களை திணித்த முதல் குழு.

It is birth anniversary of the original #RaGa. #RajivGandhi was born on 20th August. I am inspired to write this after looking at Congress relaunching Rahul in Rajiv mood with a new wig and new set of artificial dentures.

Rajiv wasn't just original RaGa. He was the original Pappu too. What Rahul is doing today for the BJP, Rajiv began that process in 1985. He laid the foundation stone for the phenomenal growth of #BJP from two seats to 330 plus.
#Part2
The trinity of Father, son and Holy Ghost; RaGa, RaGa and #SoGa have practically handed BJP over to India and India over to BJP.

With #ShahBano, #Ayodhya, #IPKF and #Bofors, Rajiv was the Haley's in Blunderland.

Interesting to hear @PereraJehanpc in @iicdelhi’s Neighbourhood First - on #SriLanka’s recent election and return of the Rajapaksas. He appeared to be optimistic about the new government with 2/3 majority - for the very same reasons Indian liberals are unhappy with #Modi 2.0 Image
2/n On #SriLanka-India relationship, @SultanaGulbin i
expects a more pragmatic approach from both the #mahindarajapaksa government and #Modi-2.0 on all fronts - political, military, tourism and cultural but not, perhaps, economic - notwithstanding the “blow hot, blow cold” past.
3/n Jehan Perera states very plainly, #SriLanka sees #Pakistan as a “balancing power” against India. Listening to people like Perera it becomes clear how we screwed up our relations with SL by the #IPKF misadventure.

Should India send an Independent Brigade Group or a Division to maintain peace in #Afghanistan as US forces draw down?
A must read by Brig @gurmeetkanwal. What are the advantages & disadvantage? Both Gen @Vedmalik1 & Lt Gen @rwac48 are not in favour. But should we debate this?👇
Arguments against are many & pertinent: can we air & sea maintain a large force? When at the height of their deployment Soviets with 1
25 lakh soldiers & the US post surge could not eliminate the threat posed by Pakistan army backed Taliban, can we do it with finite resources?
First the Soviets & then the US forces had infinite military, air, tech & money power. US despite knowing that the source of Taliban threat was in Pakistan did not degrade Pak military support to Taliban can Indian army with one hand tied behind back & HR rules make a difference?
