I've heard many horrific stories and first-hand accounts where Tamil people were tortured, raped and had their entire families wiped out.

The Sri Lankan Government burned down the Jaffna Library in an attempt to erase Tamil history. They wiped out entire villages with bombs and forced generations to leave Sri Lanka forever.

The British were horrific but let's not ignore what the Sri Lankan Government did to its Tamil people.

LTTE committed war crimes. But, the Tamil people are not the LTTE. Sri Lankan government committed genocide. They bombed UN medical camps and safe zones setup by the Government.

This also happened in South America.

In some cases, the local rulers (Aztecs or Incans) destroyed existing libraries to cement their hold on power, before the Conquistadors arrived.

In other cases (Mayans), the Spanish clergy burned most of the books, with a few "codices" saved:

And in the US, we have the 1619 Project, statue toppling, etc. in an effort to revise history.
