MOURNING THE DEA
- A symbol of all the suffer also of the yet innova
Poothapillai Subramaniam Nadarajah Swarnarajah passed away at the age of 59 at the General Hospital, Colombo on 7 June 2006. He was treated for sudden deterioration of diabetes-affected systems, one of the causes for the deterioration being deep-seated worries and anxieties.
In terms of the obituaries of many Tamil residents in Colombo, Swarnarajah's passing away is almost a "routine' one, with references to many close relatives now living abroad and also with the reference to the village where he was born.
But the case of Swarnarajah, if one is prepared to look at his background and activities, is slightly different.
He, to be exact, his family, has been at the receiving end of almost all the major catastrophes the Tamils have faced in this country as a community since independence.
To begin at the beginning, Swarnarajah's grandfather, was the great "Kekirawa Subramaniam', who went to Kekirawa from his village Kurumbasiddy at the age often with the guidance of a postmaster working at Kekirawa. Subramaniam rose from a 'shop assistant” to "the leading businessman' in Kekirawa, engaged in oil pressing on one hand and in assisting the modernisation of agriculture of the area on the other, through the agencies he held for the agricultural firms of the day such as the Hunter & Co.
One should not rush to the conclusion that he was basically a Tamil exploiter, amassing wealth at the cost of the peasants. Far from it. He helped the local pansala' with great devotion and had earned the esteem of the local
chief priest. Subramaniam was a sort of a banker
 
 

H OF SWARNARAJAH
ings the Tamils encountered; tive enterprising Spirit -
for the emerging peasantry in the sense the peasants gave their earnings to be kept in safe custody.
Subramaniam was such an acceptable figure that even the changing tides of 1956 did not present him as an outsider to the town. In fact, in the late fifties, he was responsible for getting his son Nadarajah take over the management, before he died a peaceful man. Nadarajah saw to it that his son, an old student of Wesley College, Colombo and St. John's College, Jaffna also joined him in business in 1970.
By 1970s Nadarajah and Swarnarajah, the father and son, along with their relatives, were running the business. In August 1977, the Subramaniam establishment in Kekirawa was singled out for attack. Paradoxically, the building was in front of the Police Station and on a curfew laden night the building was burnt down.
For a young man of 30, with a family tradition of having very intimate relationship with the Sinhalese friends, what happened in August 1977 was a rude shock to Swarnarajah. He and his father were persuaded the day before the demolition of the buildings to leave for Colombo. On the August 17 night, the building was burnt down.
The father, Mr Nadarajah, could never bring himself to go back to Kekirawa and Swarnarajah went to Kekirawa only after his father's death. The charred ruins of the business premises of Subramaniam Brothers 'stood as it was left by those who burnt it, until 1981, when the then Government hurriedly published a notice of acquisition with the purported objective of utilising the land for a "public purpose'. Even after that, nothing happened until the year 2000,

Page 14
when the divesting of the property was finally done. The enclosed papers of Swarnarajah reveal the agony the family underwent from 1977 to 2000 to get the matters expedited.
The 1977 experience was an unnerving one for all the Tamils. For unlike in the case of the previous outbursts of anti-Tamil violence, in 1977, the pogrom had been in a way planned out earlier. The experience of 1977 for Tamils living outside the North East was, again, an unprecedented one. Though from 1959, the North East was accepted as having the main concentration of the Tamil speaking people, in 1977 the displaced Tamils from outside North East, were sent back to the North East. In fact, they were encouraged to do so. The implicit assumption was that these people belonged to these areas and they had to be sent back there. At this point, it becomes very difficult to overlook the logic of sending those people by shiploads and planeloads to Jaffna and to Batticaloa, especially Jaffna. Had it not been for the presence of the North East, those displaced Tamils would have been permanent refugees.
The term 'Traditional Homeland' is a politically loaded one. It implies that at least some of the Tamils who had established themselves outside North East had begun to consider their new areas of residence as their "Homeland'. Their children were schooling there. They had established their residences there. Such people thought of their old villages in terms of their relatives or their temples. There was nothing binding them to Jaffna. At best, there was a place to visit during holidays.
But now, it was shown as the place to which they had to get back. Perhaps, now we are able to deconstruct in Some meaningful manner the concept of "Traditional Homeland'. It is seldom realised today that the consciousness of a Traditional Homeland was instilled top-down by the successive governments.
And it is to this Traditional Homeland that Swarnarajah decided to go back. The village is Kurumbasiddy, and it falls within the red-soil belt of Jaffna. Geographically, it lies to the West of Jaffna-KKS road and has a tradition of extensive garden tillage, tobacco cultivation earlier and latterly, food crops like onions.
 

Kurumbasiddy has a distinguished history. The Editor of the first regional newspaper “Eelakes ari” N Ponniah came from Kurumbasiddy. Agriculture and education, education and public sector employment had been the distinguishing features.
It is true that the Subramaniam family with the profits that accrued from the Kekirawa business had established themselves fairly firmly within Kurum basiddy. Nadarajah, Swarnarajah's father, firmly decided that Kurumbasiddy was going to be his place. There is an old poem in Tamil which says that the extent of area needed for one elephant to lie at ease is capable of producing food material enough for five elephants. This is to show the fertility of the area. Kurumbasiddy is such a fertile place and Nadarajah and Swarnarajah became involved in agriculture but the enterprising Swarnarajah embarked on the idea of running a rice mill using state of the art machinery.
In those late seventies and early eighties, the tragic flaw that lay within the geography of Kurumbasiddy was not realised at all. On the Southern boundary of the Palaly Airport runway lies Kurumbasiddy. Post-1978 developments in Jaffna, especially after 1984, led to militant attacks on security forces. The die had been cast in 1961 when for handling the problem of the Satyagrahis, the government used for the first time the military establishment at Palaly which until that time was the Task Force Against Illicit Immigration (TAFAII).
By 1984 things began to worsen and with the Indian Peace Keeping Forces coming in, the lines were drawn. There was a slow expansion of the Palaly Army Camp but in the late eighties it was not that much dislocating. Soon, the pressure on the villages around the Palaly Camp began to increase and people living in Kurumbasiddy and adjoining villages like Pun nalaikadduvan, Vasavilan, Kuppilan, Kadduvan, Thellippalai and Myliddy had to leave. a.
Once again the Swarnarajah family had to face a major loss and a severe dislocation. In 1990 the crisis came to a head and the people had to leave their villages lock-stock and barrel. The exit was sudden and the army did not allow

Page 15
time to take any of the belongings. Overnight, villages around the Palaly Camp were devoid of their populace.
This was the second time the Swarnarajah family was struck. But this second one was more excruciating and cruel - excruciating because the departure was so sudden and cruel because the villagers were forced to leave their birth place, the houses their forefathers built, the temples which gave Succour and hope to generations and generations and the red-soil land, which provided them with proud sustenance. In other words they now lost what had been their “Traditional Homeland'. And now they had become really rootless refugees. Swarnarajah family stayed in Nallur from 1990 to 1995 and in the exodus of 1995, they left Nallur too. Nadarajah, Swarnarajah's father, could not face this all too sudden dispossession. He passed away as the family was trekking from village to village. The funeral was held at Chavakachcheri.
Swarnarajah was now faced with a great challenge. Where to go? While he and his family were living in Kurumbasiddy, in Colombo, in 1983, some of his close relatives who had continued to live in Colombo even after 1958, had lost their belongings and their houses. The Nadarajah family had to face some problems in 1958 and had decided to pull out of Colombo because of the sense of amity that was extended to them in Kekirawa.
In 1990, immediately after the IPKF withdrawal, Swarnarajah shifted his elder sons to Colombo for higher education. Since 1990s, the agony of impermanence in their own village began to develop gradually.
However, Swarnarajah did not want to quit Jaffna, leaving his ailing father. It is an inbuilt mental urge of every son or daughter coming from this culture to look after their parents in their last days. It has always been taken as a holy duty bestowed on them to look after their parents and perform their last rites. Amidst the pain of the loss of the parent, there is a great cultural satisfaction in attending to their last rites. The annual remembrance day becomes a holy event for the whole family. Unfortunately, We do not have any statistics but during the exodus of 1995, many of the families lost their
SWARNARAJAH The Personal
 
 

elderly parents, while moving from one village to another.
After the father's passing away, Swarnarajah decided to get to Colombo. Earlier on they had lived in Colombo but not after 1958. He had no house of his own, and had to be contended to a one roomed apartment for his family of five. But he took one firm decision: not to leave the shores of Sri Lanka.
By this time two of his sisters had left for Canada and his younger brother had left for Norway. Swarnarajah, in spite of the many requests from his siblings, decided to stay in Sri Lanka. Colombo could not be alien to him. He spoke fluent Sinhalese, almost as a first language speaker. His English was good - definitely so amidst the new Tamil medium and Sinhala medium speakers of English.
More than the linguistic affinities and the cultural congruities, there was the inner urge within him to retrieve whatever is possible from the Kekirawa land and more importantly to get back to Kurumbasiddy. He did not want to leave Sri Lanka without attending to these. In fact he told his children that if they wished so, they could leave Sri Lanka, but as for him, he would not leave the country because it is his and because he had to get back what was due to him from Jaffna and from Kekirawa.
His letter to one of the Ministers amply illustrates his position.
"Amidst all my difficulties, I never obtained a red cent as compensation or free-grant from the Government of Sri Lanka or any other source, and with the grace of God who acted through my relatives, I was able to educate my three sons and bring them up to a level. My three sons have now completed their education and are working in reputed organisations.
Though I have done my duty towards my children, I do not wish to depend on any of them or any of my relatives, who have already rendered enormous assistance to me during the difficult times. All what Irequest from Your Honour is also not any kind of

Page 16
special assistance or compensation for the injustice done to me or the damages caused to my business concern. What I earnestly request from Your Honour is only an act which I consider rightful and to which I am entitled to ask for. It is only a request to direct the relevant authorities to issue me the title deeds for the shops which have been given to us on lease several decades ago, as has been done in the case of several others'.
Stating the above he concludes his letter with a very simple request.
"My sole aim is to re-establish
myself and earn sufficient money to acquire a small apartment or a house in Colombo in close proximity to a Hindu Temple, so that I will have the satisfaction of living in my own house without depending on anyone else. I hope you will understand my position, and will realise that my request is not unreasonable, in that, I only need to live the rest of my life and die in a piece of land belonging to myself, as the acres and acres of lands and the number of properties that belonged to me had been either destroyed or currently occupied by the military in the name of high security zones'. i
There was no ill-will nor rancour. Absolutely no ethnic hatred. He was a man in search of justice. And was doing everything within his power to get it.
One should not miss the fact that at no point of time or instance does he make it an ethnic grievance of the Tamils. His upbringing, his training made him hold his head above the murky waters of politics.
At this point it should be emphasised that one's love for the place of his birth, the culture
Postscript:
The sense of distrust and misunderstanding that in our way to understand the other man's point of within the locus of his / her existence. It is in that s
 

within which he lived, should not be taken as identity markers for alienation. The country, in his opinion, was as much as his, as it is for another genuine citizen.
Swarnarajah broke lose from the traditional modes of making his living. He took up to trading in stocks and shares. As he carried on his struggle to regain what he and his family lost he was engaging himself as a committed stock trader, and he did well. And when he passed away, in spite of the new wealth gained, the pride of the peasant within him, made him to repay all the loans he had got.
It is not given to many to respond and in a way re-bounce as Swarnarajah had done. His upbringing, his range of friendship and his spiritual development had enabled him to lead a life which was full of challenges, but not with even the minimum of bitterness.
It is true that this is one man's life - the qualities are personal to him. But, within this life and its world outlook, lies a Tamil strand, which should neither be overlooked nor underestimated. And that is the love for the country.
It should however be remembered that this love for the country is not something that is artificial. It begins with the love for the village in which one is born. The temples and the tanks Ehat enriched it. The district within which it falls. And ultimately the country of which it is an (ndispensable part.
Swarnarajah's life brings in the understanding we should have and the meanings we should go for. His life symbolises in a way he experiences to which the Tamils have been 2xposed to since 1956. This state of mind should not be mistaken for acquiescence or for aggressiveness. It seeks the rightful place any itizen has within his own country within the cultural ethos he wishes to live in.

அவர்களின் வா
ஈழநன்நாட்டின் வடபாலமைந்து எண் சாண் உடம்பிற்குச் சிறந்திடுஞ் சென்னி போல் விளங்கிடும் யாழ்ப்பாணக் குடாநாட்டில் சைவமுந்தமிழுஞ் செழித்தோங்கச் சான்றோர் பலரும் வாழ்ந்த கிராமம் குரும்பசிட் டி. தனக்கெனத் தனித்துவமான கலை, இலக்கிய மற்றும் வர்த்தக, விவசாயப் பாரம்பரியங்களைக் கொண்டிருந்த இக் கிராமத்தில் பிரபல வர்த்தகரும், கெக்கிராவ பூ.சுப்பிரமணியம் அன்ட் பிரதர்ஸ்’ நிறுவனத்தின் ஸ்தாபகப் பங்கா ளருமான பூதப்பிள்ளை சுப்பிரமணியத்துக்கும் தங்கமுத்துவுக்கும் மகனாக அவதரித்தவர் நடராஜா. நடராஜாவும், தம் தந்தையாரின் வர்த்தகத்தில் இணைந்து கெக்கிராவவிலும், குரும்பசிட்டியிலும் ஓர் முக்கிய பிரமுகராகத் திகழ்ந்தார். மயிலிட்டி கிராமசபையின் தலைவரா கவும், குரும்பசிட்டி பொன் பரமானந்தர் வித்தி யாலயத்தின் முகாமையாளராகவும் விளங்கிய நடராஜா அவர்களுக்கும் அவ்வூர் நாகேஸ்வ ரிக்கும் இல்லற வாழ்வின் பயனாய்க் கிடைத்த முத்தபிள்ளையே சுவர்ணராஜா ஆவார்.
1947ம் ஆண்டு ஆனிமாதம் 22ஆம் திகதி பிறந்த இவரது உடன்பிறந்தோர் ரஜந்தினி, ராஹரினி எனும் இரு சகோதரிகளும் சுவர்ணஹரன் எனும் சகோதரரும் ஆவர்.
சுவர்ணராஜா தனது இளமைக் கல்வியை குரும்பசிட்டி பொன் பரமானந்தர் வித்தியா லயத்திலும், தெல் லிப்பழை யூனியன் கல்லூரியிலும் கற்றார். பின்னர் தந்தையார் கெக் கிராவவில் வர்த்தகத்தில் ஈடுபட்ட காலப்பகுதியில் கொழும்பில் தங்கியிருந்து பொரள்ளை வெஸ்லிக் கல்லூரியில் கல்வி கற்றார். 1958ஆம் ஆண்டு கொழும்பில் நடைபெற்ற இனக்கலவரத்தில் இவர்களது வீடு சேதமாக்கப்பட்டதைத் தொடர்ந்து கொழும்பு றோயல் கல்லூரியில் அமைக்கப்பட்டிருந்த தற்காலிக அகதிமுகாமில் குடும்பத்தாருடன் தங்கியிருந்து பின்னர் கப்பல் மூலமாக யாழ்ப்பாணத்தைச் சென்றடைந்தார்.
 
 

க்கை வரலாறு
பாழ்ப்பாணத்தில் சுண்டுக்குளி பரியோவான் கல்லூரியில் தனது கல்வியைத் தொடர்ந்த சுவர்ணராஜா பின்னர் வட்டுக் கோட்டை பாழ்ப்பாணக் கல்லூரியிலும் கொழும்பு அக்குவனாஸ் கல்லூரியிலும் உயர்கல்வி பெற்றார்.
1970ஆம் ஆண்டில் கெக்கிராவ சென்று தந்தையாரின் வர்த்தக ஸ்தாபனத்தில் இணைந்து கொண்டார். மிகுந்த கட்டுக் கோப்புடன் நிர்வகிக்கப்பட்டுவந்த பூ.சுப்பிர மணியம் பிரதர்ஸ்’ நிறுவனத்தில் ஒரு பங்கா ளரின் மகன் என்ற செல்வாக்கைச் செலுத்தாது, ஊழியருக்கு ஊழியராய் அனைவரதும் அன்பைப் பெற்றவராகப் பொறுப்புணர்வுடன் ஸ்தாபனத்தின் வளர்ச்சிக்காக உழைத்தார்.
1971ம் ஆண்டு ஆவணி மாதம் குரும் பசிட்டியைச் சேர்ந்தவர்களான மாணிக்கவா சகர்-மகேஸ்வரி தம் பதியரின் மகளான ரேணுகாவைக் கரம்பிடித்து இல்லறவாழ்விற் புகுந்தார். 1972ஆண்டு இவரது பாசத்துக் குரிய முத்த புதல்வன் நிஷந்தனும், 1976ஆம் ஆண்டு இரண்டாவது மகன் நிலக்ஷனும், 1982ஆம் ஆணி டு இளைய மகன் நிமல் ஷனும் சுவர்ணராஜா-ரேணுகா தம் பதியரின் இல்லறவாழ்வுக்கு இனிய சாட்சிகளாய் அவதரித்தனர்.
சுவர்ணராஜா அவர்கள் கெக்கிராவவில் தங்கியிருந்து வியாபார நடவடிக்கைகளில் ஈடுபட்டதோடல்லாமல் கொழும்பு உட்பட நாட்டின் பல பாகங்களுக்கும் சென்று கொள்வனவு, விநியோக நடவடிக்கைகளிலும், விநியோகஸ்தர்கள் சங்கக் கூட்டங்களிலும் கலந்து கொணர்டு தனது 3Ꭷ - 6ᎸᎩ ᏍᏏ அனுபவத்தையும் பேச்சாற் றலையும் , ஆளுமையையும் வளர்த்துக்கொண்டார்.
கெக் கிராவ மக்களுடன் வெகு அன்னி யோன்யமாகப் பழகி அவர்களது வாழ்வில் இரண்டறக் கலந்திருந்த சுப்பிரமணியம் நிறுவனத்துக்கு எதிர்பாராத பேரிடியாக 1977ஆம்

ஆண்டு ஆகஸ்ட் மாதம் நடை பெற்ற இனக் கலவரம் அமைந்தது. தந்தையார் நடராஜாவுடன் கொழும்பு வந்திருந்த சமயம் 75வருடகால வரலாறு படைத்த இவர்களது வர்த்தக நிறுவனம் ஒரேயிரவில் கொள்ளையிடப்பட்டுத் தீக்கிரையாக்கப்பட்டது. களஞ்சியங்களில் சேர்த்து வைத்திருந்த எள், மற்றும் தானியங்கள், பொருள்கள், வாகனங்கள், தளபாடங்கள், பணப் பெட்டியிலிருந்த நாணயத்தாள்கள் என அனைத்தும் எரிந்து சாம்பராயின.
அயராத உழைப்பினால் கட்டியெழுப்பிய வியாபார சாம்ராஜ்யம் சரிந்து விழுகின்றதே என்ற கவலையிலும் பார்க்க இத்தனை நாளாய் நேசத்துடன் பின்னிப் பிணைந்திருந்த மண்ணில் இப்படியானதொரு கொடுரம் நிகழ்ந்து விட்டதே என்ற துயரம் மேலரிட்டவர்களாயப் சுவர்ணராஜாவும் அவரது தந்தையார் நடரா ஜாவும் தமது தாயகமாகிய யாழ்ப்பாணம் சேர்ந்தனர். தந்தையார் நடராஜா ஏலவே கொழும்பில் 58ம் ஆண்டில் நிகழ்ந்த கலவ ரத்தையும், 77ம் ஆண்டில் கெக்கிராவவில் ஏற்பட்ட அனுபவத்தையும் பார்த்து, இனி யெமக்குப் பாதுகாப்பான வாழ்வெனில் அது எமது பூர்விகத் தாயகத்திலேயே என முடி வெடுத்தவராய் சொந்த மண் குரும்பசிட்டியில் நிலைகொண்டார்.
எனினும் தொடர்ந்த போர் மேகங்களாலும் பலாலி விமானத்தள விஸ்தரிப்பாலும் இராணுவப் பாதுகாப்புக் கெடுபிடிகளாலும் குரும்பசிட்டி மக்கள் அனைவரும் 1985ஆம் ஆண்டு முதல் தமது சொந்த இடங்களைவிட்டு, சிறுகச் சிறுகச் சேமித்துக் கண்ணிராலும் வியர்வையாலும் கட்டியெழுப்பிய வீடுகளை விட்டு, ஊர் கூடித் தேரிழுத்து உலாவந்த அன்னை முத்துமாரியம்பாள் ஆலயத்தையும் விட்டு நிரந்தர அகதிகளாய் ஏதிலிகளாய் எல்லை கடந்த பெருஞ்சுமையை நெஞ்சில் சுமந்தவர்களாய் அகதிகளுக்கெல்லாம் அகதிகளான முன் னோடி அகதிகளாய் தம்மண்ணினின்றும் நீங்கி வேரொடு பெயர்ந்து வெவ்வேறிடஞ் சேர்ந்தனர்.
சுவர்ணராஜாவும் தனதுாரில் பெரும் முதலீட்டில் ஆரம்பித்துக் கட்டியெழுப்பிய சாயி அரிசி ஆலை என்ற தனது முற்றிலும் நவீன இயந்திரங்களின் உதிவியுடன் அரிசி அரைக்கும் செயற்பாடுகளை மேற்கொள்ளும் வல்லமை பொருந்தரிய ஆலையைக் கைதுறந்து குடும்பத்தாருடன் இடம்பெயர்ந்தார்.
 

இடம்பெயர்ந்து வந்தவருக்கு புகலிடமாகி யது நல்லூரில் இவருடைய தங்கையார் இல்லம். சுவர்ணராஜா அவர்களின் குடும்பமும் அவர்தம் பெற்றோரும் வேறு உறவினர்களும் 1986ஆம் ஆணிடு முதல் நல்லூரில் நிலைகொண்டனர்.
இக்காலப்பகுதியில் அமரர் சுவர்ணராஜா அவர்கள் தனது முன்று மக்களையும் தான் கல்விகற்ற சுணர்டுக் குளி பரி.யோவான் கல்லூரியில் சேர்ப்பித்தார். பொருளாதார ரீதியில் வாழ்வு சிதைவுற்ற போதிலும் சொல்லொணாக் கஷ்டங்களின் மத்தியிலும் தன் மக்களுக்குக் கல்வி புகட்ட வேண்டும், அவர்களை முன்னேற்றப் பாதையில் செல்ல வைக்க வேண்டும் என்பது அவரது அவாக் களில் ஒன்றாய் இருந்தது.
“கற்றோருக்குச் சென்ற இடமெல்லாஞ் சிறப்பு” என்பதை என்றும் வலியுறுத்திக் கல்வியே வாழ்வில் யாராலும் அழிக்க முடியாத பெருஞ்செல்வம் என்பதை வலியுறுத்தி வந்தார். பரியோவான் கல்லூ ரியில் அவரது பிள்ளைகள் பரிசளிப்பு வைபவங்களில் பரிசில்களைப் பெறும்போதும் கலை இலக்கிய நிகழ்வுகளிலும் புறக் கிருத்தரிய நடவடிக் கைகளிலும் பங்கெடுக்கும் போதும் மிகவும் புளகாங்கித மடைவதுடன் ஏனையோருக்கும் இவற்றை வெளிப்படுத்தி மனநிறைவடைவார். "தந்தை மகற்காற்றும் நன்றி அவையத்து முந்தியிருப்பச் செயல்” எனும் வள்ளுவன் வாக்கிற்கமையத் தன் பிள்ளைகள் சமூகத்தில் முன்னிலை வகிக்க வேண்டுமென்பதே குறியாயிருந்து தனது தனிப்பட்ட துயரங்கள், இயலாமைகளுக்கு மத்தியிலும் அவர்களுக்கு கல்வி புகட்டவும், முன்னிலைக் குக் கொணர் டுவரவும் தன் உறவினர்கள். நண்பர்கள் பலரிடமும் உதவி பெறவும் தயங்காமல் தன்னை உருக்கித் தன் குடும்பத்தை உயர்வித்தார்.
1987ஆம் ஆண்டின் இந்திய இராணுவ வருகையுடன் குரும்பசிட்டிக்கு மீளச் செல்லும் வாய்ப்புக் கிடைத்தது. ஆனால் அவ்விடைப்பட்ட காலத்தில் கிராமத்துக்கு ஏற்பட்ட அழிவு சொல்லில் வர்ணிக்க முடியா தது. இவை தொடர்பான பல்வேறு ஆவணங்களையும், கோப்புக்களையும் நேரிய முறையில் திரு சுவர்ணராஜா அவர்கள் பதரிவுசெய்து வைத்திருந்தார். சந்தர்ப்பம் கிடைக்கும் போதெல்லாம் தன் வாழ்வில் தான்பட்ட இன்னல்மிகு அனுபவங்களை ஆவணங்களின் உதவியுடன் விளக்கி, ஒரு தனிமனிதனுக்கு

Page 19
மட்டுமாயன்றி ஒரு முழுச் சமூகத்துக்குமே ஏற்பட்ட நிலை இதுதான் என்பதைத் தன்னை அறிந்தவர்களுக்கு விளக்கிக் கூறுவார்.
1990ம் ஆண்டில் மீண்டும் போர்ச்சூழல் முளைவிட்டதும் தன் பிள்ளைகளின் கல்வி மீது கொணர்ட கரிசனையால் முதலிரு பிள் ளைகளையும் கொழும்புக்கு அழைத்து வந்தார். முத்த மகன் நிஷந்தன் சட்டபீடத்தில் அனுமதி பெற்றுச் சட்டக்கல்வியையும் இரண்டாவது மகன் நிலக்ஷன் கொழும்பு றோயல் கல்லூரியில் இடைநிலைக் கல்வி யையும் தொடர வழிசெய்தார். பெற்றோர், மனைவி, இளையமகன் நல்லூரிலும் முதலிரு பிள்ளைகளும் கொழும்பிலுமாக திரு.சுவர்ணராஜாவின் வாழ்வு ஆண்டின் பாதிக்காலம் யாழ்ப்பாணத்திலும் மீதிக்கா லம் கொழும்பிலுமாகக் கழிந்தது.
சேறும் சகதியும் நிறைந்த கொம்படிப் பயணங்களும் தர்க்க மற்றதும் திகில் நிறைந்ததுமான கிளாலிப் பயணங்களும் சுவர்ணராஜாவின் வாழ்வில் இரண்டறக் கலந்தன. இத்துணை துன்பங்களினூடும் அவர் தன் அனுபவங்களை மற்றவர்களுடன் பகிரும்போது மிகவும் நகைச்சுவையாகவும் கலகலப்பூட்டும் விதத்திலும் கூறுவாரேயொ ழியக் கழிவிரக்கமேற்படும் வண்ணம் கூறிய றியார்.
1995ஆம் ஆண்டு யாழ்ப்பாணப் பெரும் படையெடுப்பின் போது, சுவர்ணராஜா அவர்கள் தன்மனைவி, மகனுடனும் பெற்றோருடனும் நல்லூரிலிருந்து இடம் பெயர்ந் தார். அடுத்தடுத்து இனக்கலவரங்களால் தெற்கில் பெரும் பாதிப்புக்குள்ளாகித் தமது தாயகத்தில் பாதுகாப்புத்தேடிய சுவர்ண ராஜா அவர்களின் தந்தையார் நடராஜா அவர்களுக்கு மீண்டும் யாழ்ப்பாணத்திலிருந்து வெளியேறுவது என்பது ஜீரணிக்க முடியாததொன்றாகியது. இடம்பெ யர்ந்து சாவகச்சேரியில் தங்கியிருந்தபோது நடராஜா அவர்கள் 1995ஆம் ஆண்டு நவம்பர் 15ஆம் திகதி காலமானார். தந்தையாரின் ஈமைக் கிரியைகளை யாழ்ப்பாண மண்ணி லேயே நடாத்திய மனவமைதியுடன் சுவர்ணராஜா அவர் கள் 1996ஆம் ஆண்டு குடும்ப சகிதம் கொழும்பை வந்தடைந்தார்.
ஏலவே எல்லாமிழந்து யாழ்ப்பாணஞ் சேர்ந்த
சுவர்ணராஜா குடும்பத்துக்கு மீண்டும் இழப்ப தற்கு ஏதும் இருக்கவில்லை. தம் உயிர்போலக் கட்டிக்காத்து ஏறு பெட்டியில் வைத்துப் பேணிய பழைய ஆவணங்களும் உறுதிக்கட்டுகளும்

ஆபரணங்களுமே அவர்களுடன் கொழும்பை பந்தடைந்தன. உடன்பிறப்புக்களின் காலமு 7ணர்ந்த உதவியுடன் தனது வாழ்க்கையைக் கொழும்பில் மீள்பதிவு செய்யும் முயற்சியை சுவர்ணராஜா தொடங்கினார்.
உறவினர்களின் உதவியுடனும் தன்னிடமி நந்த சில பங்குச் சான்றிதழ்களையும் வைத்து கொழும்பு பங்குச் சந்தையில் - முற்றிலும் தனக் தப் புதியதொரு முயற்சியில் - தனது புதிய வர்த்தக வாழ்வை ஆரம்பித்தார் சுவர்ணராஜா. புதிய கொழும்புச் சூழல், பல்லாண்டுகளாக வர்த்தக வியாபார நடவடிக்கைகளில் ஈடுபடாமல் பாழ்ப்பாணத்தில் ஒதுங்கியிருந்ததனால் இழந்து விட்ட தொடர்புகள், புதிய வியாபாரமொன்றை ஆரம்பிப்பதற்குத் தேவையான பெரும் முதலீடு இன்மை என்பவை சுவர்ணராஜா அவர்களைப் பாரம்பரிய வியாபார நடவடிக்கைகளில் மீண்டும் ஈடுபடுவதிலிருந்து தவிர்க்கச்செய்யும் காரணிக ளாயின.
எல்லோருக்கும் தன்னாலியன்ற உதவிக ளைச் செய்து அவர்களின் முன்னேற்றத்துக்கு உதவிய நல்ல மனதுக்குக் கிடைத்த கைம்மா றாக, தன்னந்தனியாய் துணிவுடன் தானறியாத புதிய நடவடிக்கையில் தனது 52 ஆவது வயதில் இறங்கிய சுவர்ணராஜாவுக்குக் கிடைத்த பங்குச் சந்தை வர்த்தக ஆலோசகர்களும், நண்பர்க ளும் அமைந்தனர். இறப்பதற்கு முதல் நாளிலி ருந்து ஏறத்தாழ ஏழு வருடங்களாகப் பங்குச் சந்தை வர்த்தகமே அமரர் சுவர்ணராஜாவின் உயிர் நாடியாக விளங்கியது.
பல்வேறு பங்கு வர்த்தக நிறுவனங்களினூ டாகவும் தனது சிறிய முதலீட்டுடன் கொடுக்கல் வாங்கல்களை ஆரம்பித்த அமரர் சுவர்ணராஜா அவர்கள், மிகக் குறுகிய காலப்பகுதியிலேயே தனது வசீகரமான பேச்சாலும், அனைவரையும் கவர்ந்திழுக்கும் நகைச்சுவையாலும், நாட்டு நடப்புகள், இனப்பிரச்சினையின் பரிமாணங்கள் தொடர்பான அவரின் வெளிப்படையான கருத் துக்கள், திறனாய்வுகள் முலமாகவும் மிகவும் நெருங்கிய நண்பர்களைச் சம்பாதித்துக் கொண் டார்.
கிழமை நாட்களில் அவரைக் காலையில் துயிலெழுப்புவது அவரது பங்குச்சந்தை வர்த் தக ஆலோசகர்களின் தொலைபேசி அழைப்புக் களே. அதனைத் தொடர்ந்து,நாள் முழுவதும் உறங்கும் வரை தொலைபேசியில் பங்கு வர்த் தக நண்பர்களுடனான அவரது கலகலப்பான உரையாடல்கள் வீட்டையும் கலகலப்பாக்கும். நூற்றுக்கும் மேற்பட்ட கம்பனிகளின் வருடாந்த

Page 20
அறிக்கைகளை ஆராய்ந்து ஒவ்வொரு கம்பனி யும் எந்த மாதம் அண்ணளவாக எவ்வளவு சதவீத பங்கிலாபத்தை வழங்கலாம் என்ப வற்றை யெல்லாம் முன்கூட்டியே எதிர்வுகூறக்கூ டிய வல்லமையையும் அறிவையும் குறுகிய காலத்திலேயே சுவர்ணராஜா பெற்றுக் கொண் டார்.
பங்கு வர்த்தகத்தில் அவருக்கு அமைந்த நண்பர்களோ இருபது வயது இளைஞர்கள் முதல் ஐம்பது வயது அனுபவசாலிகளாக இருந் தாலும் அனைவருடனும் வெகு கலகலப்பாக அவர்களது வயதுக்கேற்ப அவர்களுக்கு இசை வான முறையில் பேசி அனைவரதும் அன்பைப் பெற்றிருந்தார் சுவர்ணராஜா.
சுவர்ணராஜா அவர்கள் நோய்வாய்ப் பட்டிருப்பதை அறிந்து அவர் பெயரில் வேண்டு தல் ஒன்றைச் செய்து அவரது பங்குவர்த்தக ஆலோசகர் ஒருவர் கொச்சிக்கடை புனித அந்தோனியார் தேவாலயத்து உண்டியலில் சிறு தொகைக் காணிக்கையை அவர் இறப்பதற்கு முதல்நாளில் செலுத்தியிருந்தமை அமரர் சுவர்ணராஜா மீது அவரது பங்கு வர்த்தக ஆலோசக நண்பர்கள் வைத்திருந்த அன்புக்கு அடையாளச் சின்னமாகும்.
இறப்பதற்கு முதல்நாள் கூடத் தன்னை வைத்தியசாலையில் பார்வையிட வந்த மகனிடம் எந்தக் கம்பனிகளின் பங்குகளை உடனடியாக வாங்கவேண்டும், எதனை விற்கவேண்டும் என மிகவும் தெளிவுடன் உரையாடியிருந்தார். நோய் வாய்ப்பட்டிருந்த காலத்திலும் ஊக்கத்துடன் தன் பங்கு வர்த்தகத்துடன் இரண்டறக் கலந்தி ருந்தார். “செய்யுந் தொழிலே தெய்வம்” என்ற வாக்குக்கு வரைவிலக்கணமாக வாழ்ந்தார். தனது வாழ்வில் தான் சந்தித்த சோதனை களையும் வேதனைகளையும் மறக்காத போதும் அவற்றிலேயே முழ்கி மனவலிமை குன்றாது, முயற்சியுடன் வாழ்வில் எதிர்நீச்சல் போட்டவர் அமரர் சுவர்ணராஜா.
தனது பிள்ளைகளை நல்வழிப்படுத்தி நற்கல்வி புகட்டி உயர் தொழில்களில் அமர்த்தி யதுடன் முத்த மகன் நிஷந்தனுக்கு உமாநந்தினி எனும் சட்டத்தரணியையும் இரண்டாவது மகன் நிலக்ஷனுக்கு சஞ்ஜிதா எனும் கணக்கியலாள ரையும் திருமணம் செய்துவைத்து அவர்கள் இல்லற வாழ்வில் இணைந்தமை கண்டு மனம கிழ்வுற்றார். தன் பிள்ளைகளுக்கு தகப்பன் போல் மட்டுமன்றி, நண்பனாய், நல்லாசிரிய
 

னாய், எதையும் ஒளிவு மறைவின்றி வெளிப்படை யாக விவாதித்து சரி எது பிழை எது’ என்ற தனது கருத்துக்களைத் தெரிவித்து நல்வழிப்ப டுத்தினார்.
தனது கடமைகளைச் செவ்வனே செய்துமு டித்த திருப்தி இருந்தபோதும், தான் இழந்தவை அனைத்தையும் மீளவும் எடுத்தே தீரவேண்டும் என்ற ஓர்மம் அவரிடம் இருந்தது. தன் உறவி னர்கள், நண்பர்களிடம் தான் நலிவுற்றிருந்த போது பெற்ற உதவிகளுக்குரிய கைம்மாறையும் தான் உயிருடன் இருக்கும்போதே தன்னால் இயன்றவரை செய்து முடிக்கவேண்டும் என்ற பேரவா அவருக்கு இருந்தது. அதனை நிறை வேற்ற அவர் நின்று கைகூப்பிக் கண்ணிர் மல்கி வழிபடும் குரும்பசிட்டி முத்துமாரியம்பாளும், தெஹிவளை பூரீ வெங்கடேஸ்வரப் பெருமாளும், பொன்னம்பலவாணேஸ்வரம் உறையூரீ சுவர்ணச பேஸ்வரரும் சித்தங்கொண்டு திருவருள் கூடியமை அவருக்குப் பூரண மனவமைதியைக் கொடுத்திருக்கும் என்பது திண்ணம்.
தனக்குச் சொந்தமானதைத் தான் மீளப் பெறுவதற்காக அவர் நடந்த கல்லும் முள்ளும் பாவிய பாதையையும் அவர்தம் விடாமுயற்சி யையும் எடுத்துக் காட்டுவனவே இந்த நினைவு நூலில் இடம்பெறும் அவரது சேமிப்பும் உயிரு மான ஆவணங்களிற் சிலவாகும். அவரின் ஆத்மாவின் நாதமாக அவர் எழுதிய கடிதங்கள், எவரதும் இதயத்தில் ஒரு நொடி சிறு வலியை ஏற்படுத்தக் கூடியன. இவ் ஆவணங்கள் ஒரு தனி மனிதனின் வாழ்வை மட்டும் எடுத்துக் காட்டும் சான்றுகளாகக் கொள் வதிலும், ஒரு சமூகத்தின், ஒரு இனத்தின், ஒரு தேசத்தின் வரலாறாகக் கொள்ளக் கூடியவை. இதன் நிமித்தமே இவ் ஆவணங்கள் அன்னாரின் நினை வாகத் தொகுக்கப்படும் இந்நூலில் பெரும்ப குதியைப் பிடித்துக்கொள்கின்றன.
இதை அவருக்குச் செய்யும் மரணத்துக் குப் பிந்திய மகத்தான மரியாதையாகக் கொள்ள வேண்டுமென்பதே அவரின் பிரிவுத் துயரில் வேத னையுற்று நிற்கும் குடும்பத்தாரின் எதிர்பார்ப்பு! ஏகாதசித் திதியில் தன் பூதவுடலை விட்டும் நீங்கிய அமரர் சுவர்ணராஜாவின் ஆத்மா குரும் பசிட்டி முத்துமாரி அம்பாளின் பாதக் கமலங் களில் சாந்தி பெறுவதாக எனப் பிரார்த்திப் போம்.
