Briefly discuss the issues that led to the rise of ethnic insurgency in Sri Lanka in the 1980s. How did the Indo-Sri Lanka Accord help to resolve them? (150 words/ 10 marks)

Tamils and Sinhalese are the two major ethnic groups In Sri Lanka. Sinhalese eternal conflict with Tamils for power had been gathering strength since before independence. There were various reasons that led to the gradual rise of Tamil militant nationalism: Tamil-dominated Northern Province had comparatively better facilities in terms of education and employment in the colonial period. Post-independence Sinhalese nationalism sought to curb the Tamil presence in education and civil administration. In 1948, immediately after independence, a controversial law was passed by theCeylon Parliament called theCeylon Citizenship Act, which deliberately discriminated against the Indian Tamil ethnic minority by making it virtually impossible for them to obtain citizenship in the country.Approximately over 700,000 Indian Tamils were made stateless. The passing of the infamous “Sinhalese Only Act” in 1956 was another attempt along the same lines. The act replacedEnglish as the official language of Ceylon with Sinhalese . The Act failed to give official recognition to Tamil , which had not received official recognition before. The constitutional provisions in the 1972 Constitution favouring the Sinhalese language and Buddhist religion, along with their educational policies convinced many Tamils that they had been perceived as a marginal community. Quota System: The language-based quotas in university entrance examinations in the 1970s required Tamil-speaking students to earn significantly higher scores compared to Sinhalese students. As a result of open discrimination, in 1976 Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) was formed to fight for Tamil rights and in 1983 Civil war started. The bilateral relations between India and Sri Lanka deteriorated in 1980’s with a rising of the Tamil militant separatism in Sri Lanka. In 1987 with the objective of improving the ties,Indo-Sri Lankan Accordwas signed between India and Sri Lanka. It proposed a political solution to the Sri Lanka’s conflict by establishing a provincial council system and devolution of power for nine provinces in Sri Lanka. (This is popularly known astheThirteenth Amendment (13A) to the Constitution of Sri Lanka). India also deployed Indian Peace Keeping Force in Sri Lanka intended to perform a peacekeeping (It is known asOperation Pawan, which ultimately resulted in the assassination of PM Rajiv Gandhi). After two years of constant military engagement, the IPKF was withdrawn as it failed to defeat LTTE. Finally, in 2009, 25 years of violence ended when Sri Lankan government seized the last area controlled by Tamil Tiger rebels. India at that point of agreed to reconstruct the war-torn areas and started many rehabilitation programs. However, the pro-LTTE governments in Tamil Nadu influenced the decisions of Central Government which posed a roadblock in humanitarian assistance in Sri Lanka. Also, the relationship started deteriorating when India voted against Sri Lanka in 2009, 2012 and 2013 at the US-sponsored UNHRC resolution to investigate alleged human rights violations by the state against the Tamil rebels. As per the 13thamendment, Sri Lanka was divided into nine provinces each governed by a council headed by an elected chief minister. The north and east was merged into one province called North-East province. Also, Tamil was made an official language along with the Sinhalese. The powers were divided into three lists viz. Provincial, Reserved and Concurrent. However, since all the provisions of 13thamendment were not implemented, it is called 13-Minus. 13 Minus implies that Police, Land and Financial powers have not been devolved . The provinces have struggled to get adequate financial powers. Then in 2007, the North and East were demerged. This was followed by more centralized powers in the hands of President, eroding whatsoever autonomy was with the provinces. India has always emphasised on a meaningful devolution package, based on the 13th Amendment. India’s interest is not only cultural but also demographic as around 1 lakh Tamil refugees are living in India. Until a political reconciliation is achieved in Sri Lanka, return of these refugees will not be possible.
