The IPKF Operation in Jaffna did not stop with massacres of civilians. A large number of women were raped. The following quotation is taken from Prof Daya Somasundaram%u2019s book Scarred Minds %u2013 The Psychological Impact of War on Sri Lankan Tamils. Prof Daya Somasundaram is the Professor of Psychiatry in the University of Jaffna and concurrently Consultant Psychiatrist, General (Teaching Hospital) Jaffna. He was one of the four authors of the book, Broken Palmyrah, which was critical of the LTTE, a co-author of Mental Health in Cambodia, where he served as a Consultant Psychiatrist.
"Rape by Indian Soldiers
From time immemorial, plunder and rape have been considered the spoils of war. A form of %u2018psychopathic liberation%u2019 resulting in looting, rape and heavy drinking is reported to follow major stressful events (Kinston and Rosser, 1974). Although the total number of rapes during the Indian army operations are not known, it seemed to reach epidemic proportions. It has been verified that quite a large number, ranging from young girls who had just attained puberty to old women well past the menopause stage, were brutally raped.
What is said about violence in general is applicable to sexual violence. However, aggressive sexual assault has its own unique characteristics and consequences. Thus,
Rape is a violent crime in which sexuality is used to express power, anger and aggression, with a core meaning of devaluation, humiliation, sheer terror and most intimate violation o

In our cultural setting, sexual violence takes on a more serious significance and has a severe psychologically traumatizing effect on the victim and her close relations, including her husband. Chastity is traditionally considered one of the supreme virtues of women, to be safeguarded with the same diligence as their life. The screams and pleading of a young, attractive girl, whom three soldiers were trying to rape at gun point, still echoes in my ears. She fell at their feet and begged, %u2018Please, brother, shoot me, but don%u2019t do this%u2026%u2019 Fortunately for her, her pleading got through to an officer who took pity and let her go, after slapping her. A young rape victim in Tinnavelly immediately attempted to commit suicide by jumping into a well.
Loss of virginity in a young girl even if against her will, meant that she could not aspire to marriage in our society and if already married, there is a good chance that she will be abandoned. All rape victims are socially ostracized and this usually extends to the family also. It is not surprising that rape victims were not forthcoming to report such incidents and usually swallowed the suffering and injury silently.

Rape became common in the context of total war as it obtained in the months of October to December (1987), when all the customary discipline and restraint operative in the army disappeared. As discussed earlier, there appears to have been a policy decision to apply terror in the face of early losses and frustration over the prolongation of the conflict. The public was seen as being too sympathetic to the Tigers, harbouring and helping them against the Indian army. Thus terror became an instrument of control, a punishment for the lack of support and a lesson to the public. The army hierarchical structure worked to allow the jawans to carry out the acts on their behalf, although at times lower-rank officers also vented their pent up frustration in this way. But rape was much more gruesome as it was aimed specifically at women. It was carried out with considerable brutality and impersonality, where the victims were publicly defeminised and destroyed.
Rape can be seen as a loss-event for the victim where she loses her trust in others, self-respect, sense of security, chastity and virginity, social identity and becomes liable to secondary victimization due to social norms and values. The psychological reactions to rape have been described as a three-stage phenomena with an initial state of %u2018shock and disbelief%u2019 with disruption of normal behaviour. This may be followed by feelings of guilt, self-blame, and physical complaints. If the resolution to the psychological trauma is in

Neither Staine's wife nor her relatives had a secret meeting with his killers either in India or elsewhere.

A meeting is a meeting secret or otherwise which raises serious questions need to be answered.

My question to Agni Putran: What if your wife or your parents or any other near or dear one of yours were among the 15 ppl who were killed along with Rajiv, will you still justify that killing? Please give an honest answer.

We never justified the assasination. But, you cannot bring them back alive. This Nalini & co Should be punished. They should not be released. My question is how Sonia accountable for the murder as these idiots try to say

Sonia is accountable in the sense that why should she send her emissaries to meet the assassin living in a different country and why should her mother meet another person in that group? All those meetings were official and being published with photographs?

The photographs has been published in Daily telegraph operating from London and 'The Island' from Srilanka? Do you think that a london based newspaper which has been there for 100 years is a bjp supporter?

Dear Rash Group,
I am still a great follwer of our beloved Rajiv and i am not justifying his killing. But as an educated person,you have to analyse the root cause for any issue.
First answer my question: What if your wife or your parents or any other near or dear one of yours were among the 100's of innocent ppl who were killed by IPKF in srilanka, will you still justify that killings? Please give an honest answer.

My question is were LTTE acting on their own or on somebody's behalf? What is the connection between Congress President's relatives and the killers and why should they meet in kilinochchi and in other places like London?

Graham Stuart Staines case is personal case, its not national. Rajiv case is a national, he was ex-PM. It was an attack on the nation. His familys have no right to pardon the killers. Apply mind and logic, friend.
