My previous post about the Tamil political discourse taking the turn for the worst still remains true. TNA continues on the unimaginative, and predictable path of power politics set within a losing framework. They harp on a full implementation of a discredited and meaningless 13th amendment. Yet many Tamil people, mainly in the diaspora, seem euphoric of a solution to the Tamil national question: Knowing full well that such a solution is never going to materialize within this framework. A few people are coming out and exposing the fallacy of this false hope. More is needed to stop the shifting of the Tamil political discourse from the Tamil national question to that of a manufactured crisis of the 13th amendment. How long this false hope can hide behind this euphoric hype remains to be seen. Without an inspiring leadership, the Tamil nation continues on the lonely road seeking justice and peace: singing this song.
"I walk the lonely road
The only one that I have ever known
Don't know where it goes
But it's home to me and I walk alone"
....
"Read between the lines What's fucked up and every thing's all right Check my vital signs to know I'm still alive And I walk alone"
Hopefully TNA will not close the door on the younger generation who can read the Tamil nation's vital signs better than they.
