LTTE Chief Velupillai Prabhakaran was one such terrorist who justified violence as a legitimate political instrument. Since the founding of LTTE (Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam) on May 5, 1976, this low-life had perpetuated such destruction and destitution on the minority Tamil population of Sri Lanka that a whole generation would pay a price for his twisted ego. Only a deranged mind would consider such cowards as freedom fighters. Tamilians in general, Sri Lankan Tamils in particular can learn a lot from leaders like Dalai Lama. The Tibetan struggle for independence is not only justified but also moral. It would certainly out live their spiritual leader, the honorable Dalai Lama. He is a true lion for his people, not a coward like Prabhakaran who had the audacity to call his ranks, “Tigers”! Tamil Tigers were simple terrorists.
Sri Lanka is the only homeland for the Sinhala majority population which is not the case for minority Tamil population. If the Sri Lankan Tamils feel discriminated by the Sinhalas, they should either grow up or migrate back to India. They have no right to demand a separate Eelam (Home) for minority Tamils, just like 3 million Indians living in the United States of America can not ask for a separate state in North America. Do you think Indians are not discriminated against in the USA? How are the Tamils treated in the United Kingdom? Can they start a violent struggle in UK for a separate Eelam? Tamilians are very bright people but their politics sucks. Whether it is their politics in the state of Tamil Nadu or Sri Lanka, Tamils are being seen as the Taliban of South India. World would rather have Tamilians like P Chidambaram!

Even governments should realize the fact that the minorities in their countries have rights and freedom. If these rights has been taken away, by torture or alienation, there is no doubt that the oppressed will drift away and start revolting. Now this revolts can be violent and also sometimes peaceful. Read my poem on the LTTE, its called LTTE Poem.
…Singapore embraces Tamil, and has even adopted the language. See, https://www.cia.gov/library/publications/the-world-factbook/print/sn.html.
Хм… даже такое бывает.
Pavan Gupta,
wen your sister is gang raped and mother father butchered you will call those guys for peace talks is it? What a
MAN you are !! I salute you for your principles about violence!!! Gupta No one cares what shit you have to say..
You have describer Dalai Lama as a glorios leader for the Tibtens. What has he achieved in his lifetime fpr the Tibetens? They are still living as second class citizens in foreign countries.
You have poor understanding of the Sri Lankan Tamil issue. Tamil are not foreigners. Their generations immigrated to the island several generations ago from Southern India. Likewise the sinahalese migrated from North Western part of India hundres of years ago. So no one there can claim to be the true native. Your analogy of Indian in the US to the Sri Lankan Tamils is ridiculous. Most Indians in America migrated in the last few decades where are Tamilians in Sri Lanka are the born citizens of that country. You invite them to come back to Indaia where their great grandfathers lived. Who gave you the authority for this? Will you ensure their weel being in India? Most people do not agree with the ideology of violence Prabhakaran followed. But he was definitely true to his people and fought bravely for the cause until the last breath. Now my friend, how many times in your life have you been willing to put your and your loved ones’ life on the line? Please, read up and THINK before you write. Sorry I wasted my time to read your worthless blog.
