It was during the rule of Prabhakaran in the North & East, the Srilankan Tamils were given equal status, treated as gentlemen, gentlewomen and treated with respect by the State of Prabhakaran and the people heaved a sigh of relief. The Srilankan Tamils in North & East enjoyed freedom in living. The Srilankan Tamils felt sense of belongingness to the State. It was bad luck to the Srilankan Tamils that Prabhakaran couldn’t achieve Tamil Ealam for them. He blundered not attacking Srilanka in 2003 when he was in supreme power having dedicated cadres & very well structured infractucture with him. Karuna Amman was with him fortifying the East with 8000 hardcore cadres.

Prabhakaran lost faith in himself when Karuna revolted & Tsunami took away half of LTTE infrastructure & cadres.

Then he started to make blunders. (1) He denied the Tamils to vote in the 2005 elections. (2) Ranil would have given him the territory already he won. (3) He intimidated the well equipped and strong Srilankan Army through Mavil Oru.

With depleted cadres & crumbled infrastructure, he fought 3 years with the Srilankan Army ( thrice big of his own) sided by mighty China, India and Pakistan. Kudos to Prabhakaran, you will long live in the minds of Tamileans in the whole world.

Never, Never again a Prabhakaran of his stature will re-born.

For your information, He had 6 crores in hand 25 years back. He could have taken his family & frinds to abroad; could have lived a pleasure life. Instead, he struggled with his family & friends for the Srilankan Tamils. He might have offered several POSITIONS & GIFTS BY SRILANKA, BUT HE REFUSED EVERYTHING EXCEPT TAMIL EALAM.

Those who died by fighting with the Srilankan Army were much luckier than those who live like dead bodies in the North & East now.

Everybody forgets why prabhakaran took up arms? The successive Srilankan governments’atrocities, indifferent attitude towards Tamils made him took up arms.His ambition and intention was authentic & clear for which he had to do lot of mistakes also. The initial struggle made by him and his family against the tyranny of srilankan authority could not be forgotten. His reliability cannot be questioned. The world lost another Singapore by crushing LTTE thereby denying the Tamils a separate state. In my opinion, Karuna Amman’s revolt weakened him mentally and the Tsunami broke him altogether. He could not resurrect what he was after these two incidents! Had he attack
ed the Srilankan Army in 2003, he could have achieved the Tamil Ealam for the Srilankan Tamils but not for him.

Though the LTTE and the VP were ruthless, they didn’t start it all. It was the sinhala only act and the various anti tamil riots. The govt officials also participated in the riots. it is evident from the Welikade and Kaluthra. There is no hope that the SL govt will make amends to these issues.

“The LTTE killed 13 soldiers through a landmine at Thirunelvely on July 23, 1983. This resulted in the 1983 anti-Tamil violence.`� The 1983 killings, rooting and destruction of Tamil and their property was planed and carried out by the Jeyawardene mobs.

LTTE’s Pich fighting will be a great challenge to SLA. In pich fighting it’s very difficult to use air force and heavy weapons since it’s in close quaters. This is how LTTE beat indians, Just comparting the war with IPKF and the current war LTTE is so far actually ahead, Remember IPKF was let in the area currently SLA is Fighting to get in.

Thanks Rajpeksha for swating at the bee hive

The LTTE all but have only themselves to blame after being cornered into Mulaitivu jungles. They made a number of serious blunders during their so called “freedom struggle”. The assasination of former Indian Prime Minister Mr Rajiv Gandhi was one of the worst. No “freedom struggle” should target innocent civilians. Yet, they continued to carry out attacks against innocent civilians. That is the main reason for their organisation to be proscribed in many countries such as US, UK, Canada, Australia and even India.
