📹 Sep 26, 1987. Jaffna. Dr Sivakumar puts a stethoscope to Thileepan’s chest and listens for signs of life. There was no breathing. No heartbeat. He places the stethoscope on the ground and walks to Thileepan’s feet. He clasps his hands together and bows down before them.

A reminder of Vijay’s praise of Prabhakaran whilst campaigning. Politicians around the world, particularly in Tamil Nadu, continue to speak on Eelam Tamils and the independence struggle in the run up to elections. They must be held accountable for their words.

Tamils begged the UN not to leave. This was 2008. Tamil civilians outside UN offices, pleading for the international community to stay. The UN left regardless. Up to 169,796 Tamils were killed. _____

Prabhakaran was once asked about the god like status that Tamils around the world had conferred upon him. This was his response.

I asked Ranil Wickremesinghe about Sri Lanka’s double standards towards Palestinians and Tamils. He supposedly supports Palestinian self-determination and applauded action against Israel at ICJ. Why not the same for Tamils? His answer – as expected - was a whole lot of nothing.

May 2009. Tamil Eelam. This is what the No Fire Zone looked like. These images are seared into the psyche of the Tamil nation. The entire world watched. Some even took notes. 17 years on there has been no accountability. No justice. No answers. We have not forgotten.

In 1995, over half a million Tamil men, women and children were displaced by a Sri Lankan military offensive on Jaffna. That was some 2/3 of the entire Jaffna population - more by some estimates. We do not need to imagine anything.

I’ve spent years writing about Eelam Tamil politics, our losses, our resilience. In all that time, one absence has been particularly glaring. Tamil cinema has never allowed us to be the protagonists of our own story - not in any meaningful way. Kollywood can sometimes have an exploitative relationship with Eelam Tamils. We’ve been portrayed as sympathetic refugees at best, criminals as worst. There are a few films about us, but never have any been made by us. ‘Neelira’ is a step in a different direction. Directed by someetharan and produced by karthik subbaraj, it is the first Eelam-centred film to be made within Kollywood and released globally. Set entirely in Jaffna and directed by an Eelam Tamil. That is not a small thing. The Indian censor board and wider film industry in general is still extremely problematic. But for those who grew up seeing stories told about us but never with us, this film is something to hold onto. An Eelam story on a Kollywood platform, with a global release. Go watch it. A fuller piece with my thoughts is coming soon. #Neelira #Eelam #Kollywood #TamilCinema #TamilEelam

Tamil Eelam has always had stories worth telling. For the first time, an Eelam film has gone through Kollywood to reach the world. Neelira - directed by someetharan, produced by karthik subbaraj - is the first of its kind. This one matters. Watch it. #neelira #tamilcinema #eelam

📹 Rare footage from captures the moment Thileepan passed away. Doctor Sivakumar goes to examine him. He puts a stethoscope to Thileepan’s chest and listens for signs of life. There was no breathing and no heartbeat. He places the stethoscope on the ground and walks to Thileepan’s feet. He clasps his hands together and bows down before them. After 12 whole days of no food and no water, Thileepan’s body had finally shut down. The tens of thousands of people who had gathered to witness his historic and nonviolent struggle for his people, burst into tears. Grief and anger had swept across the Tamil homeland. Every single home was in mourning. The loss was monumental.

This from Dr Madura Rasaratnam, Executive Director of PEARL Action, was excellent. It sums up how many, including the Tamil people and survivors of atrocities, felt listening to Ranil Wickremesinghe’s interview.

In the full version of this interview, the interviewer is in tears as Soosai describes the tragedy of the situation in Mulliavaikkal. "அழாதே," responds Soosai. "நாங்கள் தமிழன்." "Don't cry. We are Tamil." #TamilGenocide

Footage reportedly from the Russian front line, showing dozens of Sri Lankan troops in Russian uniform. Sri Lankan soldiers are fighting for Russia, as well as for Ukraine. And several have been killed. They are dying on both sides.

. Callum Macrae asked this incisive and timely question on how the lack of accountability for Mullivaikkal may have contributed to a global disregard for international law - including in Gaza. Ranil responded with nothing but more bluster. It’s honestly just plain insulting.

I’m glad Sasikumar chose to address many of the issues I raised in my piece on this last month. India claims to be the world’s biggest democracy. Yet its film censor board continues to clamp down on freedom of expression. Even a toy tiger. That has to be challenged.

Velupillay does it again! A beautiful build up ends with a clinical finish from Nishan Velupillay! He is the first ever Tamil to play for the Australian national team, and has already scored 3 goals in 5 games. More Tamil excellence ❤️💛💫 📹 Subway Socceroos
