Today, the “right to remember the dead” has been abused and used as an excuse to hold politicized memorials for the suicide killers. Tiger supporters simply retaliated by destroying the commemorative plaques. The Sri Lankan army removed the stonework leaving behind only a commemorative plaque, following the practice of the Allied army in WW-II in dealing with Nazi cemeteries. Around 2000 epitaphs had been placed, but it has been alleged that many of the graves were empty. The Maaveer Thuyilim Illam or “Martyrs” sleeping house was in Kopay’s Northeastern city limits. Furthermore, the Tigers cleverly exploited the “Natu-kal” tradition of South India to justify the practice and bring it to the areas controlled by the tigers. However, many of the suicide cadre were Catholics, and the Tamil population had been Christianized to a larger extent than the Sinhalese in the south.
This is indeed contrary to Hindu cultural practices where deadīodies are burnt (cremated), and grave yards are shunned except by the very “lowest castes”. Theses grave yards (see figure on the right) are like christian grave yards, with much propaganda value. The Tigers built many war memorials and grave yards for the black tigers who blew themselves up, killings dozens of people. These events were held in a grand ritualist format during Prabhakaran’s lifetime. The day after Prabhakaran’s birthday was selected for the annual commemoration and glorification of these human explosives as “great heroes” or “Maaveer”. This gave Prabhakaran the idea of a cadre of suicide killers who make the “ultimate commitment” to him personally, and to the Tiger movement. However, he diabolical distinction of being the first dispoasable Tiger should go to Sivakumaran who tried to rob a bank in Kopay (Bopé, නබබබනප ) in June 1974, and committed suicide to prevent arrest. He drove a truck of explosives into an army camp in Nelliyaddi (නනලලයයදද). The first suicide offensive of the Tigers is usually ascribed to Vallipuram Vasanthan alias “Captain Miller” of the LTTE in 1987. Nevertheless, Sri Lanka, India and the West sought a futile “peaceful solution” that led to near four-decades of Eelam wars, State Brutality and Tiger Terror extending even to Tamil diaspora who faced extortion and Tiger violence. But the forces that he unleashed demanded Arasu itself, roused Sinhala extremism, and proposed to create a Tamil kingdom by force in in the “Vaddukkoddai resolution”. SJV may have settled for a “federal solution with strong autonomy” for the 12% population of Tamils. SJV founded the separatist Ilankai Thamil Arasu Kadchi, or “Lanka Tamil Kingdom Party” that envisioned a separate Tamil kingdom known as Eelam in 1949. Mr.Īmirthalingam, SJV’s lieutenant, was shot dead by Prabhakaran’s agents to pass mantel of Tamil leadership to Prabhakaran un-equivocally. Luckily for him, “SJV” passed away before the rise of Prabhakaran. It was recorded as such in film by Poongkothi Chandrahasan the grand daughter of SJV Chelvanayagam, the acknowledged leaders of the Tamil Nationalist movement. The whole of Sri Lanka, including the majority of Tamils who live in the South with the Sinhalese celebrated the event. Prabhakaran assassinated the elected leaders of the Tamil community in the 1980s, massacred other rival groups, suppressed dissent, and hijacked the control of Tamil politics, to launch a brutal war against the Sri Lankan government that lasted some three decades, ending in May 2009. The 26th of November is the Birthday of the dreaded leader of Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) who was shot dead in 2009.
