Phoenix - the Next Generation P2P - A Rebirth: Perception and consequences from AP Journalists’ point of view A combined editorial piece by key members of our Akkinip Paravaikal team to cross-examine the effects upon the Tamils’ struggle for liberation. Proceed to page 03 for more. “Today we are faced with a critical and complex situation, unprecedented in the history of our liberation struggle. We are living in a political void, without war, without a stable peace, without the conditions of normalcy, without an interim or permanent solution to the ethnic conflict. Our liberation struggle will be seriously undermined if this political vacuum continues indefinitely.” (2004) National Leader of Tamil Eelam © All Rights Reserved Puradsi Media – Phoenix the Next Generation 2 a FEBRUARY ISSUE 2021 Puradsi Media. Phoenix - the Next Generation P2P - A Rebirth: Perception and consequences from AP Journalists’ point of view Akkinip Paravaikal Editors’ note: All opinions presented are those of the AP team members. Resistance has become an undeniable component of the Eelam Tamils’ livelihood for decades. However, moments of mass uprising have periodically emerged in reinvigorating their collective psyche. In that regard, ‘Pottuvil to Polikandy’ or ‘P2P’ emerged as a march conducted by Tamils between the 2 furthermost points of the occupied Tamil homeland between 03.02.2021 - 07.02.2021, thus rejecting the SL state and asserting Tamil sovereignty through physically portraying the continuity of the Eelam Tamils’ territorial integrity. Through demanding issues pertaining to Tamils’ grievances, the campaign gained momentum on an unprecedented scale.

  • The Maritime Relations of India, the Maldives and Sri Lanka: Part One
    December 2014 29 April 2021 The Maritime Relations of India, the Maldives and Sri Lanka: Part One Raj Mittal FDI Associate Key Points The Maldives, Sri Lanka and India share a maritime neighbourhood in the Indian Ocean (IO). Indian Maritime Security Strategy (NSP 1.2) is clear that India’s maritime neighbourhood and its navy are important facets of its political and economic relationships with countries in that region. The Maldives and Sri Lanka are strategically located close to major sea lines of communication. India considers the Maldives and Sri Lanka as being in its sphere of influence, which makes China’s increasing footprint in the island countries a major concern for New Delhi. Arguably possessing the region’s most developed navy and coast guard, India is perceived as the first responder and security provider in the IO, but to be effective in that role, India needs to further engage with the Maldives and Sri Lanka. Summary India perceives the Maldives and Sri Lanka as being in its sphere of interest, which makes China’s increasing footprint in those countries a cause for concern in India. The Maldives and Sri Lanka have initiated “India First” policies which complement India’s “Neighbourhood First” equivalent. While India cannot keep China out of the Maldives and Sri Lanka, it should capitalise on its proximity, first-responder image and historical and cultural ties to safeguard its security concerns by remaining continually engaged with Malé and Colombo through high-level visits and the India-Sri Lanka-Maldives Trilateral. Analysis Writing in the Hindustan Times, Kanwal Sibal, a former foreign secretary of India said: All big countries have, in reality, problems with their smaller neighbours because the disparity in size and power create insecurities in them, not to mention loss of identity as in the case of India’s neighbours who share with us ethnic, linguistic, cultural, civilisational and even religious commonalities.
