SINHALA ARMY ATTACKD TAMIL-1961 IN SRILANKA

The Tamils often were used as the pawns in the political game. There was the type of communal propaganda used by the parties that based on the racism, so long as in this games one Sinhala party was the victor and the other Sinhala party the vanquished. If one party said, "We will kill the Tamils", the other party could go one better and say, "We will eat the Tamils." In other words, it was a competition as to who would hold down the Tamils most. In this manner the Sinhala army force used to assault the Tamils who were made some peace full assembly and ‘sathyagiraha’ in Tamil city Jaffna. In the early hours of the 18th of April , without any warning and without informing the satyagrahis assembled at the Jaffna Kachcheri (secretariat) that an emergency had been declared by the military , assaulted the men satyagrahis mercilessly, bundled the women satyagrahis into trucks and transported them. The military also vented their wrath on a large number of push bicycles and even on some motor cars parked at the Kachcheri gates. The attacks upon Tamils(one of the race of srilanka) in 1956, 1958, 1961 are illustrative of these Sinhala( another race of Srilanka with the power on majority) attempts to terrorize and intimidate the Tamil people into submission at a time when Tamil protest was confined to entirely non violent forms of agitation, And that incidents was the fundamental reasons of the aggression protests for the liberty in to the one nation afterwards.
