" LTTE :: The Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam :: LTTE "
One man's terrorist, they say is another's freedom fighter. Currently, despite the fuss over the Sri Lankan army and LTTE fighting together in 1989 to eliminate the TNA, the LTTE are no doubt the Indian and the Sri Lankan governments' terrorists, but with equal certainty they are, and always have been, the Sri Lankan Tamil's freedom fighters.
Who is LTTE ? Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) is the armed rebellion organisation fighting for the independence of Tamil Eelam. It is a unique organisation in the world in the following aspects. 1. Every cadre wear a cyanide capsule around the neck and commit suicide to avoid divulging vi
tal information. 2. LTTE is the only rebel organisation which has naval and air wings known as Sea Tigers and Air Tigers respectively. 3. All the cadre wear uniform. Why did Tamils in Sri Lanka want Tamil Eelam ? Sri Lanka, which was renamed in Sinhala in 1972, had been called as Ceylon by Brit
ish during colonial times. Before 1833, the Tamil people were under different administration. They had their own kingdoms, culture and language which are very different from those of Sinhalese until 1505. The first colonial invasion took place in 1505. British brought Tamils and Sinhalese under one
administration in 1833 and called this new colony as Ceylon. When the British left in 1948, the 20% Tamils were left with 80% Sinhalese within a unitary country where the decisions were taken by democratic parliament system. Under this system, racially polarised Sinhalese and Tamils were ruled by t
he constant majority of Sinhalese against the democratic wishes of Tamils as Tamils were the constant minority. Reference: Document submitted by 17 NGOs in 50th Sessions of UN Commission on Human Rights:"There is a need to recognise that the deep divisions between the Sri Lanka government and the T
amil people cannot be resolved by the use of force against Tamil resistance. The Tamil population in the North and East of the island, who have lived from ancient times within relatively well defined geographical boundaries in the north and east of the island, share an ancient heritage, a vibrant cu
lture, and a living language which traces its origins to more than 2500 years ago. ...Before the advent of the British ..., separate kingdoms existed for the Tamil areas and for the Sinhala areas in the island. The Tamil people and the Sinhala people were brought within the confines of one state for
the first time by the British in 1833. After the departure of the British in 1948, an alien Sinhala people speaking a language different to that of the Tamils and claiming a separate and distinct heritage has persistently denied the rights and fundamental freedoms of the Tamil people. .. ! It is ..
.our view that the Secretary General should consider invoking his good offices with the aim of contributing to the establishment of peace in the island of Sri Lanka through respect for the existence of the Tamil homeland in the North East of the island of Sri Lanka and recognition for the right of t
he Tamil people to freely determine their political status."
