Prabhakaran is dead .But why are the political leaders of Tamilnadu reluctant to accept it?By maintaining that he is alive ,are they not denying a fitting homage that he desrves?I as a Gandhian ,have my reservations about the means he adopted to secure equal rights for the Tamils.He is a believer in Machiavalli's priciple -end justifies the means.He fought a war and in a war one has to be ruthless and he was.He died as a true ,brave warrior.He could have chosen a more comfortable life ,compromising on his principles as many of our Tamil politicians have done.He need not have undergone the hardships of living in bunkers,in jungles .
He fought against mighty armies with deadly air power and he knew he would be vanquished like many other guerilla groups .But he has brought the plight of the Tamils to the notice of the international community.Srilanka now has to put up at least a facade of granting the Tamils their due.They are being watched.

Statues of useless people dot TN. Someone who fought for the rights of our race till his last breath cannot be pushed off as just a terrorist. He deserves much more. Certainly more than our politicians.
ReplyDeleteEven in that case first gandhi was a terrorist kinda person to British but, later he is known as father of nation. This happens in every part of the world. The guilt feeling is even 6cr people in TN who are jus couple of miles away is not able to help the eelam people.
ReplyDeleteSad and hard to digest such news.
