Prabhakaran dead or alive
by Dr. Ram Chander Sharma on 2009-05-30 18:49:36.492188+05:30 The controversy of death of Prabhakaran can be solved by a DNA test and it must be done by an independent agency. If the violence on the island Nation ends then forget the past and start a new life.

We are Sri Lankans
by hiran on 2009-05-21 12:11:46.93032+05:30 People who are crying for war are the people who left this country and now spend luxrious life in western world. They have foreign passports and their children dont't speak their language properly.It is easy to talk WAR and support it financially, because those idiots don't hear a single gunshots and will never know the hell that poor people of their own kind have to face during a war. If you ask a tamil villager what they want they will say "leave us alone so we can grow things, bring up our kids and live peacefully."This country doesn't belongs to any minorities nor majorities. It belongs to a one kind and we call them Sri Lankans. We will live with peace and harmony and will face whatever the hardship together as brothers and sisters.Let me remind to those who are crying for war. You are the minority and you will remain as a minority forever.

Rajiv Gandhi try to broker peace between ltte and the Government (Reason being, diplomacy as India does not want to be surrounded by enemies and not give America to set base in Srilanka so India had to interfere,IPKF was meant to support the LTTE ) but eventually Prabhakar never wanted peace and was gloating for self interest and leadership. IPKF yes did not behave well and we had to pull out. It was a tactical move.

If Subash Chandrabose was a Terrorist, Prabakaran is also the same.
by Parthiban on 2009-05-20 18:40:32.681882+05:30 I strongly object the foolish statements of the people who doesn't know the history of Srilanka and Prabakaran. Tamils were treated there in Srilanka as slaves so far. Lot of tamilians were killed and tamil women were rapped by srilankan army and police. There was a huge need to protect the tamilians from these animals. Rajiv Gandhi sent a group of Indian army people to Srilanka to make peace. But they killed lot of tamil civilians and raped many Tamil girls. Thousands of Tamilians were killed on that period by both the army troups. So Prabakaran took a wrong decission to associnate Rajiv. Yes, I agree we cant accept the murder of Rajiv. But LTTE have the very strong reason behind that. If Subash Chandrabose was a Terrorist, Prabakaran is also the same.

Did they not find that before the media arrived?4)The face appears to be the same as how he looked in a photo taken in 1993, man.... its 16 years gone and you expect a person to look the same, take it anybody for that case....5)Face looks artificially fair(plastic surgery)....6)No big shots in TN have commented on this till now....These are few reasons why I doubt!

Parbhakaran
by Faiz Hakim on 2009-05-20 13:29:35.798527+05:30 I am an Indian. Parbhakaran was a terrorist. Congratulations to the Sri Lankan people for successfully eliminating the deadliest terrorist in the world. Now I hope the country works toward establishing an inclusive democracy that treats Tamils as equals. India in turn owes an apology to the people of Sri Lanka for its shenanigans from the 1980s. We paid a price for it and since the late 1980s we have acted with honor and been good friends of Sri Lankan. It is time to move on to better and bigger things. Without India's support the fantastic success of the Sri Lankan forces would have remained a pipe dream. And Tamils in India need to take a chill pill. While agitating for better treatment of Tamils in Sri Lanka was/is a legitimate cause, supporting a despicable terrorist like Parbhakran who's stated aim was the vivisection of Sri Lanka is just simply not on. He started his career with murder and ended it in a bloodbath. Sri Lanka acted with enormous restraint. Congratulation.

They ruthlessly killed thousands of innocent civilians including our beloved Rajiv Gandhi. Three Cheers to the Lankan Government and its Armed Forces who brought an end to the enormous bloodshed due to Prabhakaran's foolishness. All the Tamilians world-wide should rejoice that one of the Terrorist has been killed. It is not prudent on the part of tamilians to condole the death of terrorists.

Death came much early
by R. BHakther Solomon on 2009-05-20 07:05:51.302172+05:30 Prabaharan a terrorist or a liberator or a coward used innocent children and women in his war against the army. Only historian can unfold the truth. No doubt he fought for the independence of Tamils in Sri Lanka and in the process adopted unconventional means. Those who take up sword will die by sword. This is true of guns and other ammunitions. The LTTE leader was instrumental in introducing the guerrilla war, suicide bomber and belt bomb Prabaharan took the extreme step and organized a military cadre and waged a war against the Govt. In the process of waging a war in the name of independence he had destroyed the independence of many families, especially the children and youth. The sight of small children carrying arms and fighting is very awful. Not only this, he even annihilated all those who opposed to his style of function within the organization. control. As such he was more like Hitler than a benevolent monarch.

(5) Srilanka must announce elections to Tamil parts and elect a real representative as soon as possible (6) Willing LTTE cadre must be allowed to join Army/ Police etcOn the brighter side of, by this war, Tamilians have spread their wings all over the world. Have got best education and wealth and nice life in western world like Eurpoe, USA, Canada etc. They all now have a positive role to play in making Srilanka in its path of prosperity and peace.

He treated his own tamilian brothers and sisters as his own property and subjugated them under his complete control.Needless to say his cohorts in Indian state of TN were partners in his heinous crime.He brought untold miseries on the people of SL.It is absolutely neccessary on part of SL govt to urgently and faithfully address to the pressing problem of their tamilian civilians,major being social discremination and denial of jobs in govt institutions.SL must fortify its northen borders and move entire tamil population southward.On its part Indian navy must prevent influx of illegal migrants into SL.One hopes lasting peace downs on SL and island state prospers and progresses rather than coming under the influence of China.

Why do Sinhalese kill Tamil?
by Right_follower on 2009-05-20 01:16:05.401779+05:30 Deception, foolishness, ignorance, arrogance, hatred, pride and greed. All of these evils come together and make people to commit crimes against humanity. Sinhala Buddhist extremists want to wipe out Tamils from this tiny island and they have so far been successful in killing many thousands of them.In the same way, Sri Lankan governments that are backed by the Sinhala Buddhist extremists have been persecuting the Tamils in Sri Lanka for more than 60 years. Muslim extremists use Quran as their source of hatred and the Sinhalese in Sri Lanka have a holy book called Mahavamsa, a book with controversial writings, full of hatred towards the Tamils. Sinhala youth are indoctrinated by lies and deceptions in schools.In the fifties, sixties and seventies, the Sinhala extremists slaughtered thousands of Tamils with knives and swords. They burned them alive and destroyed their homes. Hundreds of thousands were made homeless and sent to the North of the country in ships.

Those who create such ideology often use weak countries whose leaders or systems are corrupted.If these countries are ruled wisely and by the rule of law equal to everyone, then terrorists would not dare to excercise their acts. Sri Lanka has gone trough trauma, Afghanistan and Pakistan are still going trough this proccess, and we Hindu's in India have just shrugged our own fanatics by not voting BJP likes to inject their hate inciting ideology.

The way the war was prosecuted by the governmebt was wrong. If this accepted by international community then every government will carpet bomb their minorities and subjucate them to slavery.US, UN and Europe has very high stakes and they have to act on this, otherwise countries like Iran, China ,Russia etc will take this to their advantage and many more countries will emerge in Africa and Latin America.Just one man terrorist organization is not a license to kill and mass murder a entire population living in camps and nowhere to go.

Will our PM now ensure basic rights to Tamils or keep mum
by Ravi on 2009-05-19 21:39:58.922178+05:30 From 1949 to 1977 a number of Non-voilence movements by Tamils under the leadership of Mr. Selvanayagam was suppressed by the Srilankan government with force. At that point of time they did not fight for separate nation but for equal rights. Only after Black July riots in 1983 which claimed lives of more than 1000 innocent Tamils, terrorist organization started to gain popularity among Tamil youth's. Genesis of LTTE and similar other outfits can be primarily attributed to the gross injustice of the Srilankan government to Tamils and their "ONLY Sinhala" propaganda. In India equal rights to all citizens is guaranteed through constitution, and political parties are interested in providing more provisions for the minority people. Whereas in Srilanka the government systematically and steadily took measures to suppress minorities. For instance tamil students has to get more mark than Sinhala student to get a place in university. They were also denied opportunity in government jobs.

Suicide squads involving teenage kids was worst of everything and if LTTE was for Tamil people then they should not have taken civilian as sheilds towards the end. Proud Tamilians can help war affected people's basic needs and education. Let them not cry foul now, what did they say when thousands of Sinhalese civilians were killed?

by bala on 2009-05-19 19:02:31.994497+05:30 whatever happens has happened, ppl come ppl go. The tamils shouldn't be discrimininated after this. If the majority or armed forces show racism then probably fights start again. All the celebrations should be done be done away with cos it promotes the public to show a new power against the tamils. Hope peace prevails or i pity sri lanka.

Scores are settled. Now its time for peaceful existence
by Subbu on 2009-05-19 18:58:57.349231+05:30 Any oppression of a minority community by a majority community will lead to these sort of issues. Sinhalese learnt this in a costly way. Prabakaran could have been a murderer but got started becos of genuine cause. Now its time to bury all these and treat the srilankan tamil minority as equals in their own land. Half hearted attempts will bring another person to take up the cause. Rajapakse job is half done but well done. Tamils like me are waiting see the other half. If the job(development of north) is not done, Tamils will treat Rajapakse as a murderer. All the best Rajapakse. Last of all what a self centred b*st*rds are tamil nadu politcians...

Yes.... Peace is the only way
by RK on 2009-05-19 18:38:55.392937+05:30 As every 1 say, yes peaceful protest is the only way to fight against any political injustice......But it is the same India, which tarined these LTTE in many of its sophasticated trainning academies. It is India who trained them to use all sophosticated wireless equipments.....I would have been proud on todays india stand on this issue, if India had said no to this same LTTE group some 20 years back. instead india made them to grow.... you know for what just to have a hold on the island nation. does any one know our Reasearch Analysis Wings (RAW) contribution to this??????then what turned INDIA against LTTE, the sinhalese understood that the upraising is being funded by india just to have hold in the nation so the sinhalese government itself came forward for the submission to india in name of a treaty. it is while signing the tearty rajiv gandhi was hit using a rifle butt in his head by a sinhalese solider(search for this video in you tube). please understand the root cause......

The World Looked At Other Side While The Lankan Army committed Genocide !
by Aniyan on 2009-05-19 18:37:40.27576+05:30 The international community and Bodies, such as United Nations, Human Rights, Red Cross etc. criminally let the Lankan Army to do whatever they wish to, on the unarmed innocent tamil civilians. No one monitored it and it was a free for all for the Lankan Defence forces. Unarmed people approach the Army with white flags or with raised hands were signalled to close in and then fired in close range. The innocent tamilians were the victims of Prabhakaran's atrocities; just as other Sri Lankans and others in the continent. But the tamils suffered more at the hands of Lankan Army than the 30 years torture from Prabhakaran. It was first time in history that a country was waging war against its own citizens and celebrating the victory of war over its own citizens. Rajapakshe should be trialed in a court of Law for eliminating a section of population in his own country.

End of Terror
by sanjya on 2009-05-19 18:36:08.911866+05:30 Sinhala majority have suffered right through out the last 3 decased. The whole country was like army camp with terror reigned over the sinhala people. Weapons .suicide bombings shouldn't have been brought to make this claim. LTTE messed about with the Sinhala nations ability to take to a fight to any one whether it is external or internal elements. The GOVSL has a plan to resolve the issues effecting some of the tamil people but it will not happen overnight. One must remember there are lots of tamils in Colombo who are wealthy socialites who have inherited wealth when Sri Lanka was a british colony and tamils were given prominence over the majority sinhalese to make it easier to govern the country. One needs to blame the british government for creating this mess like they have done in many other countries. There are well educated tamils doing very well in Colombo. Some of the grievences tamils talk about is common to many poorer sinhalese as well.

tamil terrorist
by Raj Thackrey on 2009-05-19 17:46:00.833895+05:30 I condemn, the people who support this terrorist. First of all if you want to fight for a separate state they should do this in their own country that is india rather than destroying a peacefull country like sri lanka. All the terrorist should have the same fate as this prabhakaran. He is no different than veerrappan who got the same fate.

1 Educate yourself
by Daniel on 2009-05-20 02:03:14.131396+05:30Raj Thackeray, you comments about the tamils needing to fight in thier own country India, is revealing of your ignorance on this subject. The tamils in the northern tip of Srilanka are not Indian tamils who crossed the sea. Niether they nor thier close ancestors come from India. They have lived in sri lanka for milleniums. They only share the name of thier primary language with the people of Tamil Nadu. Infact even the Tamil they speak is pretty hard for an Indian Tamil to understand, its a vastly different dialect, reflective of centuries of physical seperation generating seperate paths of language evolution.

Give equal oppertunity and prevent another LTTE inaugeration
by Antony Libyn on 2009-05-19 17:43:52.945244+05:30 Finally LTTE was gone behind the screen and their head has lost his life. But Sri Lankan govt. should know that Discrimination and inequality made this kind of Terroist groups and made miserable life to Both Sinhala's and tamilan's. Give an equal opportunity to both of them and create a friendly atmosphere and living freedom. Otherwise another terrorist group will form there soon. Love them and make peace....

He was shot dead in close range.
by KP Pillai on 2009-05-19 17:34:30.881886+05:30 There is no doubt that Prabhakaran deserves much much higher reward than what the Lankan Army gave. The picture above shows that he was shot dead at close range and all other stories fabricated by Lankans are false. Rajapakshe returned to Colombo from Jordan, cutting short his visit, was at an information that Prabhakaran was caught alive. They know that a living Prabhakaran cannot be made available to them for longer time, as he was a wanted man in India, in the Rajiv Gandhi murder case, they took this extreme step to shot him dead in close range to finish that chapter once and for all. They did not want to provide him an opportunity to defend; as the case of Kasab, who cold bloodedly killed scores of Indians in the Mumbai attack. Lankan Army commited genocide, rape and atrocities on unarmed Tamilians in the worst form, which the world do not know due to ban on media. The UN and other civil bodies erred in this matter, very seriously.

The end of the civil war in Sri Lanka
by Venkat on 2009-05-19 17:34:28.009449+05:30 There is no doubt that Tamils in Sri Lanka face hostility and discrimination. But their cause was ill-served by Prabhakaran and his ilk. Let us not make a martyr of a self-serving murderous thug. If anything, his end should be held up as an example of the fate that purveyors of terror face. That said, it is now up to the Sri Lankan governement to demonstrate magnamity, compassion and quickly implement an inclusive rehabihilitation plan for the region. Their task has just begun. India must remain neutral, notwithstanding the pressures from Tamilnadu Politicians

Prapakaran - the Legend in Tamil History
by samuel on 2009-05-19 17:31:54.764183+05:30 Dear Ratan Gupta, Please read the history of the Island Nation and then come to a conclusion. Prapakaran, the National Leader of the Tamil Eelam, is nether a terrorist; nor a Hindu. He is the leader of the Secular Tamil Community. Please don't give any comments without knowing the truth and history of the subject. Kindly wash your Indian - Hindu mindset.

by Murali on 2009-05-19 17:20:53.245729+05:30 There are news about the death / alive of Sri Prabhakaran, the LTTE Chief. Whatever it may be, no organisation / outfit can achieve the results by taking up arms in their hands. Mahatma Gandhi, the Father of the Nation has shown the value of non-violence. The saying in Tamil, 'who takes knife will get killed by knife'. At least after all these acts, the Lankan Govt. should come forward, discuss with the Tamil leaders of the Sri Lanka and permanently solve the issues of Lankan Tamils. Let us hope for good.

Thank God !
by GVM on 2009-05-19 17:10:16.740742+05:30 One down several more satans to go. Hope the next one to be shot dead is Osama bin laden. They have brought us nothing but misery and pain. Their blood thirsty nature has finally engulfed them. Pirabhakaran will not even get a place in hell for all the murders, suicide bombing and assasinations he has planned and carried out. Next in line for hell are MK and JJ. God will probably create a sepcial hell for all these people, a hell in eternity. Today the souls and lives of those thousands of innocent people has found peace. So as the tamils crying foul, your hearts never melted not even so much that you all asked him to lay down his arms and fight for whatever in a just and non-violent way. You are now getting the taste of your own medicine. This is called karma theory. You did that for veerappan, periyaar, JJ and MK etc. you made them heros, robinhood and what not, but my friends, remember, god sees but waits, and there is only justice in his court. Amen!

The seeds of wrath.
by Venkat on 2009-05-19 16:49:32.975285+05:30 The Sri Lankan Tamils today, are in a much worser situation than what they were before the start of the "Eelam Movement" in 1983. This just goes to prove that the non-violent methods advocated by Mahatma Gandhi was, is and always will be the best method to address peoples grivences all around the world. The best proof is Barack Obama becoming the President of USA. This happened after Martin Luther king decided to improve the lives of the African Americans on the lines of Gandhi's advocated path of non-violence and prevented the African Americans from taking up arms and using violence as a medium to redress their discrimination. Also I have noticed a lot of people drawing parallels between the problems faced by the Srilankan Tamils and the Indian Tamils, which according to me is incorrect. The Tamils in India believe in India as country and do not face any discrimination from the Central Government in New Delhi. To cut a long story short, we are happy and proud to be Indians.

For past 60 years Tamils were betrayed
by ravi on 2009-05-19 16:36:17.362921+05:30 From 1949 to 1977 a number of Non-voilence movements by Tamils under the leadership of Mr. Selvanayagam was suppressed by the Srilankan government with force. At that point of time they did not fight for separate nation but for equal rights. Only after Black July riots in 1983 which claimed lives of more than 1000 innocent Tamils, terrorist organization started to gain popularity among Tamil youth's. Genesis of LTTE and similar other outfits can be primarily attributed to the gross injustice of the Srilankan government to Tamils and their "ONLY Sinhala" propaganda. In India equal rights to all citizens is guaranteed through constitution, and political parties are interested in providing more provisions for the minority people. Whereas in Srilanka the government systematically and steadily took measures to suppress minorities. For instance tamil students has to get more mark than Sinhala student to get a place in university. They were also denied opportunity in government jobs.
