Are young Tamils aware of Prabha's antecedents?

LTTE CHIEF: Neither the government, nor the Tamil people have understood the true intentions of the man they choose to refer to as Prabhakaran. How he has earned that prefix is anybody's guess. Is it by brandishing a gun?

The younger Tamils are ignorant of who Prabhakaran really is, or his family background. The Tamils by and large are highly caste conscious. Also class conscious. Many young Tamils who have practically been conscripted to Prabhakaran's fighting units, have been indoctrinated and made to believe that he is God on Earth.

We elderly Tamils know that Prabhakaran was born to the life of crime. Prabha is from a village called Velvetiturai, where almost everyone used to engage in smuggling. His uncle was the well-known smuggler called Hitler Kandasamy, who was very intelligent and often used to outsmart the Police.

Prabha who belongs to a depressed caste, joined his uncle in the family business of smuggling. As a result his education came to a standstill. He is a man with no education, no finesse (crude), no concern for human life, but very intelligent. In short, he is like the bandit Saradiel of Utuwankanda.

He hates to see children receive an education. So he abducts them when they are 12 or 13 years old, thus preventing them from getting even a basic education.

But his own children are not conscripted, but are receiving higher education. In short, in Prabha's terrain, there is one set of rules for his children, and another set of rules for the children of others.

He is a born coward who is never in the forefront of any battle. Instead he hides in the safety of his bunkers and sends others who are unintelligent and young, to do his diabolical bidding - to kill innocent people, even Tamils.

He does not expose himself, his wife or his children to any danger, and has them well protected in his various bunkers. Other people's children are kidnapped and sent to the battle front.

If he is such a big shot, he must sacrifice his own children, and he must come forward and lead his flock of rowdies into battle.

Prabhakaran thinks he is the cat's whiskers, and has been killing thousands of Tamils who do not tol his line. Yet the unintelligent Tamils, hold him up as a hero.

Prabha has made their lives a misery, a hell on earth, by his killings and destruction of their property. Therefore are we to conclude that Tamils by and large though very hard working, are an extremely unintelligent race?

This coward who hides like a rat, in the safety of his bunkers and who does not come out to fight, or to expose himself or his family to the slightest danger, is held up by the Tamil people as a hero! So what does that make the Tamil people?

They themselves are cowards, and are of very low intelligence. They have, of their own volition, chosen to suffer at the hands of this cowardly rowdy. Surely, to collect and enlist a couple of rowdies, train them, arm them and get them to kill unarmed innocent people, is not heroic thing to do.

Even in the good old days, in the Wild West of America, it was unwritten law that killing an unarmed man, was stark cowardice.

But Prabhakaran the coward, kills only unarmed men, who are unable to defend themselves. This is something the government has not seen through, and has not projected.

Only a coward will plant a landmine, or fix a claymore mine and detonate it from a distance, with a cell phone or other detonating device.

Prabha's followers are also a pack of rowdies, uneducated and unintelligent. judging from names like Daya Master, barber Thamilselvam, one could tell the calibre of these so-called big shots in Prabha's outfit. These rowdies are now trying to gather some respectability for themselves. His IGP was a former Police constable!

One might commit suicide for one's country, like the Japanese Kamikaze, or in devotion for a God. How foolish and unintelligent can the Tamil youths be to commit suicide for a low caste, uneducated rowdy, who is shivering in his boots hiding in the safety of his bunkers.

He has killed so many Tamils over the years. He knows fully well their families are biding their time, till peace dawns in the North and East, to put a bullet in him. He is more in danger from the families of the Tamils he has killed, than from the forces of Karuna, and the other breakaway groups.

This big shot Prabha, is so frightened of Karuna and the other breakaway groups, that he is asking the government to disarm them! He should be ashamed of himself to ask the government to disarm his own breakaway.

He hides like a rat with his wife and family in his various bunkers installed with his plush fittings and airconditioners, not from the monies from his grandmothers private property, but from the money he has robbed from innocent people.

He is not only a killer but also a bootlegger, a common thief, a pimp who provides women to foreigners - you name the crime, and he is guilty of it.

Can you expect better standards from a man who has no education, cannot speak a word of English, can hardly read or write, and has been in his formative years grown up in the life of crime?

The Tamils, in order to end their misery, must, apart from giving discreet information, stop contributing monies, thus starving him of finances to continue this life of crime. Instead, if the Tamils hold him up as a hero, and continue to nurture his killer squads, then they will themselves stew for a very long time.

It is high time the law abiding Tamils acquire some intelligence, put on their thinking caps and device methods to end their misery. The Diaspora by contributing are prolonging the agony of the Sri Lankan Tamils.
