Vanakkam Greetings to
One and All!
Tamil
Insight commences its News-Sharing today, 16 January
2006.
The
ultimate aim of the Tamil Insight is to serve as an up-to-date
“Thoughts-Pool” reflecting the thoughts and views of the Tamil people
spread across all nooks and corners of the world.
But
Tamil Insight is duty-bound at the moment to reflect the conflict, the
philosophy, news and thoughts, emenating from the Tamil areas in Sri
Lanka.
It
is true, the views of the ordinary people, social organisations and
political parties related to the conflict are being articulated in
meetings, assemblies and media, on either side of the divide in Sri
Lanka. While the reflections and views of the Sinhalese are well
represented in widely circulated Sinhala and English media, the views
of the Tamils are mostly confined to war-affected Tamil areas where
distribution, because of inadequacy in transport and communications, is
scanty and readership limited.
The
English media, both State and private, based in the Sinhala South and
reaching the world, tend to follow a parochial, scanty and
discriminatory attitude when it comes to reflecting the views of the
Tamil people on national and development issues.
The
conflict in Sri Lanka, with the involvement of the International
Community and the International Facilitators has now become globalised.
While the views and arguments of the Government and the Sinhala people
are reaching the world community through the English media, the views
of the Tamil community are not fully presented.
It
is here that the Tamil Insight offers to play its role. It proposes to
serve as a platform in English to bring to the attention of the world,
the translations of editorials in the Tamil dailies, related articles
written by monolingual experts and columnists and news appearing in the
Tamil media.
Most
of the columns in this page are empty today. Filling them becomes the
duty of our journalists, social and political thinkers, translators and
transcreators. Tamil Insight calls every aspiring Tamil who has the
gift of writing, to do his or her duty to help Tamil Insight serve the
nation.
Tamil
philosophy motivates Tamil action and Tamil action defines Tamil
philosophy. Since ancient times, a visitor to any part in Tamil
Speaking Land enjoys equality and fraternity. Tamil resolute to extend
equality and fraternity recommends reciprocity from others.
Without
Equality and Fraternity among peoples, the Nations of the World cannot
uphold Justice and Dignity to All Peoples. Without these, Peace and
Harmony as world order will remain a distant dream to the United
Nations.
If
with our effort Tamil Insight is able to draw the attention of the
International community to the views, concerns and wishes of the
ordinary Tamil man and woman, then, we will be happy our purpose is
served.
