As a third party to the conflict in Eelam, there are some questions that I would like to ask - Is it impossible to even think of a situation there without the LTTE? What will happen if the LTTE surrenders unconditionally? Wont that put pressure on SL Govt to come up with confidence building measures with Tamils all over SL? Wont India also be forced to support the tamils on the issue more vocifeously?
I do not mean to disrespect anyone's emotions in this or undermine anyone's or any organization's role or respect?
I am just wondering about the recent conflict resolutions that have happened in the country in the last couple of decades.
The Punjab conflict evened out ONLY after Khalisthan surrendered. The Bodo conflict eased out only after the Bodo Liberation Tigers folded in to The India State. This is not to mean that Khalisthan or Bodo leaders ceased to be leaders now. They are still very much respected in their parts as fathers of their voices. The only problem with conflict resolution in modern democracies is that Democracies are indifferent to any revolting faction by nature. The remaining part of the democratic sovereign crystallizes into the "Anti - Revolting Faction" mindset and now the scenario is antagonistic and not aiding any resolution. But the moment the revolting faction folds in, then all of a sudden democracies get forced to show political respect. Having said this, the revolt plays the role of sensitizing The Democratic State to listen and get attention. But beyond that, I don't see any credible role for revolt.
