Not many people today know about Tamil Tigers or what they really are or if they exists.They however have been around for more than 3 decades - thats about the same age as myself, which is ridiculously difficult not to read or skip any news on them for that long duration of period. Their main aim these past 30 years is to create an independent Tamil state for minority tamil in Sri Lanka .
Q& A Session on their Leader :
1. Is it worth all these 30 years , just to be shot dead after all the struggle ?
2. Do you think he deserved to be worshipped as an almost godly like figure around the world ?
3. Is it worth for a person like him to forgo a complete family life ? Wife , Sons , Daughter
dead .. ? Worth it ?
4.Will anyone revenge for his death ?
No matter what , he have managed to transformed a small group of poorly armed rebels to one of the world's most sophisticated and most hi-tech terrorists. He made himself a Legend , and rank himself parallel to Hitler , Osama and Saddam .
He is even highly worshipped around the world by fellow Tamilians that an Indian journalist who wrote Prabhakaran's biography even cleverly summarize his role in the lives of all Tamil Tigers ; "He is their brain. He is their heart. He is their god. He is their soul. And the whole organization runs around him."
Although , he is still considered`alive' by his fellow rebels , we will still not know how far this is true. We are of course for many years still waiting to bump into Elvis and even Tupac who are still `very much alive'. Who knows , he might be the person sitting next to you - appearance changed of course thanks to the wonder full world of cosmetic surgery .
Adiós Velupillai Prabhakaran . May you Rest In Peace.
