Dear Comrades
We "LIBERATION TIGERS OF THAMIL EALAM" struggling f o r freedom and independence f r o m SINHALA IMPERIALISTS OF SRI L A N K A wish t o t e l l you about us and request you t o extend your friendship and solidarity t o us t o f o r m the WORLD NATIONAL LIBERATION ORGANISATION (WNLO) t o f i g h t against imperialism and t o strengthen friendship and peace among students, youths and people of the world. The following information is given f o r your consideration.

The Thamils have ancient culture and speak Thamil language which is one o f the oldest languages o f India that formed the Dravidian family spoken today i n Thamil Nadu of fndia, Thamil Ealam of Ceylon, Singapore, Malaysia, F i j i Islands, South Africa and i n other countries by more than 65 million people. In Ceylon Thamils are 3 million in number.

W H O ARE THE SDNHALESE


The Sinhalese are said t o be descendants o f settlers f r o m India who landed in Ceylon over 2000 years ago. They speak Sinhalese language and profess Buddhism. A t present they are about ten million i n number. F o r the last 30 years they are suppressing Thamils of Ceylon and imposing an imperialist philosophy o f one country, one nation, one language and one religion.

HISTORY OF CEYLON (SRI L A M A end THAMIL EALAM)


Ceylon is the island home of two nations the Sinhalese and Thamils. They d i f f e r f r o m each other by history, territory, language, religion, culture and tradition. This is the undisputable fact of the 2500 years o f Ceylon history. I n 1833 the British Imperialists who ruled over Thamil Ealam and Sri Lanka erased the boundaries between them and brought the whole island under one unified administration inspite of protests t o make one crown colony. Today these shakles restrict the freedom and sovereignity of the Thamils as the Sinhalese by virtue of their numbers i n parliament and an army of occupation i n Thamil Ealam are able t o rule over the Thamils. The British l e f t Ceylon in 1948 and since then the Sinhalese and Thamils as two peoples o r two nations have never mutually consented t o become one people or one nation nor amalgamate the two territories into so called one state the S r i Lanka on any mutually agreed basis.

OPPRESSION BY SINHALESE AGAINST THAMILS


(1) One million Thamils were excluded from citizenship and rendered stateless by the Citizenship A c t 18 of 1948. These one million Thamils were by A c t 48 of 1949 denied the right t o (2) vote which right they enjoyed before 1949.

(3) Thamil Ealam was colonised w i t h Sinhala colonists by the state w i t h a state funds and alsoillegal squatting on Thamil territory by Sinhalese was encouraged.
The stationing of an army of occupation i n Thamil Ealam t o assault, (4) torture and k i l l revoluntionary youths and students who participate in liberation activities t o establish a socialist state o f Thamil Ealam. (5) Deliberate neglect and refusal t o develop Thamil Ealam.

(6) Sinhala language was made the o f f i c i a l language o f Thamil Ealam.


(7) Thamils were excluded from the public service i n large numbers t o which they had access earlier on the basis of m e r i t and also dismissed or not confirmed for lack of proficiency i n Sinhala.

(8) Thamil Students qualified on the basis o f m e r i t were excluded f r o m admission t o the University by r a c i a l discrimination and manipulation o f marks.
The Thamil workers who earn 65 percent o f the foreign exchange f o r (9) ' t h e government are made slaves and suppressed t o the point o f starvation and death by Sinhala fascists.

GENOCIDE
The Sinhala imperialists the racists l e t loose a spate o f violence and terrorism i n the years 1956, 1958, 1974, 1976 and 1977 against innocent Thamils c o m m i t t i n g murder, rape, arson, looting, burning people alive, destroying temples and economy o f Thamil Ealam etc. These type o f uncivilised, uncultured, barbaric acts are encouraged b y the so called educated Sinhala leadership the imperialists. I n August 1977 due t o t e r r i b l e violence i n i t i a t e d and directed against the Thamils by the Sinhala government, Police Force, Army, Hooligans and racists more than 50,000 Thamils were forced t o m i g r a t e as refugees t o N o r t h e r n p a r t o f Thamil Ealam. I n general the Thamils have no share i n the Government and are suppressed and discriminated by the Sinhala imperialists i n a l l the fields a human being could think of. The main a i m o f this imperialists i s t o liquidate Thamils f r o m Ceylon.

LIBERATION TIGERS OF THAMIL EALAM


This L i b e r a t i o n movement was formed long ago and i t s activities were intensified i n 1972 when so called Sri Lanka was created. The aim of this L i b e r a t i o n movement i s t o liberate T h a m i l Ealam f r o m the exploitation o f Sinhala imperialist. We have no hope i n parliamentary democracy and no alternative other than a r m struggle. We a r e resorted t o violence and terrorism t o destroy our enemy and we w i l l f i g h t t o o t h and n a i l f o r our rights u n t i l the last L i b e r a t i o n Tiger is alive.
