My rating: 3 of 5 stars
With curiosity to know how Prabhakaran built an army and ruled part of the country, I started to read "Prabhakaran: The Story of his struggle for Eelam" book. While reading this book, Went through lot of emotions . Even though I felt book is bit biased towards Tamils, "Prabhakaran: The Story of his struggle for Eelam" throw light to Sri Lanka struggle from the start.
As LTTE completely destroyed in 2008, I was in dilemma, Is LTTE Soldiers/Prabhakaran lives are waste? I think no, Only because of their fight whole world came to know the injustice Tamil people facing in their own land. Because of their fight, Sri Lanka government came down to peace talks with negotiation like separate state for Tamil. If there is any slight improvement in living standards of Tamil or the way Sri Lanka government treat tamil people, credit goes to sacrifice of Tamil fighters.
1. Don't depend on anyone, you have to fight your war.
2. Non Violence is not the only solution exists, Sri Lanka government invited Tamil delegates to peace talks only after LTTE/Armed forces come in to seen.
3. No one help/support you without their benefit like Indira supported LTTE
4. However strong you are, you can't simply win against locals easily(IPKF)
5. Winning others trust is no big deal, having unity among us for long time is big deal.
6. Irrespective Whatever religion people belongs, nobody follow their religion. Humans are just driven by common features like anger, group-ism and unsecured.
I expected author will showcase the situation of Tamils Post LTTE era.
