வேலுப்பிள்ளை பிரபாகரன்

In my life Prabhakaran is one among the greatest person I have ever admired. He was just a normal person like you and me . until an incident occurred it was a time were Tamil People where tortured some were killed some were beaten badly ...

During this time to show their opposition to the government, 4 youths under the leadership of Prabhakaran decided to set fire to a government owned Ceylon Transport Board (CTB) bus. But half way. through fear the other three ran away. Only Prabhakaran who was only 16 years-old at that time boldly set fire to the bus and returned. Prabhakaran’s boldness earned the admiration of every one without exception. Those members of the group who were older than him admired Prabhakaran’s bravery and his ability to execute successfully all the difficult tasks assigned to him. All members reposed confidence in Prabhakaran who became symbolic of Thamil militancy and forerunner of Thamil militant movement.


When a reporter asked him why we need violence .....


Reporter: " Since you have come out victorious in your non-violent campaign, why can't you adopt the same method of warfare even in Sri Lanka? What is the necessity for an armed struggle?"



Prabhakaran: "India is the only country in history which gained its independence through non-violent means. India understands the sacredness of non-violent struggle and hence victory for my non-violent Satyagraha. But Satyagraha will not work in racist Sri Lanka which is bereft of any humanism or sense of justice. Hence the armed struggle as the only alternative in Thamil Eelam."

To me Prabhakaran is a man who fought for human rights... than for Tamil...



Lots to come... keep watching...
