Colonel (retd) Dr Anil Athale is a Chhatrapati Shivaji Chair Fellow of the United Services Institute and co-ordinator of INPAD, a Pune based think-tank. He is also the author of ‘Nuclear Menace: the Satyagraha Approach’ (Pub 1997).
There is no purely military solution to problems of insurgency. The only known successful ‘military’ solution to such problems in world history is to be found in the US, namely the genocide of the native Red Indians.
Most civilised nations would balk at such an approach, but short of that, a purely military solution to problems of ethnic minorities will and have always failed. It is, therefore, a little surprising that many have begun to write the epitaph of LTTE and the cause of Tamil Eelam.
It must be clearly understood that the LTTE or V Prabhakaran are not the reason for the turmoil in Sri Lanka, but products of an ideology and circumstances. As long as the cause and the conditions that caused the Tamil revolt exist, peace will be elusive, notwithstanding the claims of an imminent military victory.
India must make Sri Lanka see reason
As some one associated with the Sri Lankan conflict since 1988, I am dismayed at the repeated mistakes on part of all the principal actors in this sordid, blood soaked drama.
On its part the LTTE is being obdurate in sticking to the demand of ‘independence’ that can never become a reality since India does not support it. On the Sri Lankan government’s part, the notion of national unity and integrity is equated with ‘unitary’ form of government, and a federal structure is considered an anathema. This has further legitimised the hard line position of the LTTE.
And finally India, a country that has a major stake in peace in Sri Lanka, has been shy of forcing the Lankan government to move in direction of federalism and autonomy for Tamil areas. Thus in this tragedy, there are only villains and no heroes.
