The Sinhalese power continues its policy of predation and endeavors to eradicate every trace of Eelam, to make the memory of the struggle disappear.
The National Museum of Eelam explores this vast diaspora’s memory.Īfter the defeat of the guerrillas in 2009, the three-decade-war ruins are being gradually erased. By the end of the conflict, about a third of the Tamil population lived abroad. Hundreds of thousands of us fled combat zones and the climate of terror. Four years passed between my departure from Jaffna and my arrival at Charles-de-Gaulle airport. While the Tamil Tigers guerrillas (LTTE) laid the foundations of an independent state in the North and the East, I left my hometown for India and then France. Since the withdrawal of the British in 1948, the Sri Lankan State established itself as a Sinhalese and Buddhist nation, excluding minorities from power. I was born in Jaffna in the early 1980s when the youth from the Tamil minority took up arms against the discriminatory policies and the violence perpetrated by the central government. The country at war that my mother, my brother and I had left, was called Sri Lanka, or Ceylon. I first heard the word Eelam in the 1990s. These people are the Tamils of Sri Lanka. A people whose aspirations, memory and identity have been trampled. Combined with a brief narrative, each object tells the story of a people torn from their land and scattered in the metropolises of the five continents. These are the sorts of objects that make up the collection of the National Museum of Eelam - banal and without any market value. Statuettes of Ganesh (La Courneuve): Statuettes of Ganesh given to the guests at the wedding ceremony of Santhia and Viknesh, celebrated on at the temple located in La Courneuve.Ī plastic statuette made in India, a handful of earth in a packet, a used toy. Poster (Paris): Poster plastered on the walls of the 10th arrondissement in Paris in tribute to Thileepan, an emblematic figure of the independent Tamil movement, who died after a hunger strike in 1987. TamilMusix.Which objects constitute the collection of a national museum in exile? How can diasporic stories express more than history books will ever be able to? These questions are beautifully expressed by Jeyavishni Francis Jeyaratnam and Simon-Pierre Coftier’s project National Museum of Eelam in homage to the Tamil diaspora.
