LTTE- Tigers tamed

Last month, the world witnessed the downfall of one of the world's largest terrrorist organisation. It all started when Tamils in Sri Lanka were ill-treated, and Tamils started demanding equal rights for them . A Hero rose within them, Prabhakaran and all the people started following him like GOD, without the slightest idea of how he is going to lead them to a massacre. It all started as a freedom struggle, struggle for existance, a seperate land for tamils. With Tamil Nadu and Indian Government backing them, When the LTTE asked for financial aid from India to protect them from Srilankan army, India generously gave them aid to procure arms as well as military training.

The downfall of LTTE started in mid 90s, when Prabakaran ordered the killing of Rajiv Gandhi, in order to show their protest against IPKF . LTTE was immediately announced a terrorist organisation by United Nations and all aids to them were abruptly stopped by India. But that dint dither LTTE, who continued to get the aids, illegally from foreign nations.

LTTE were known for their excellent war stratergy, their guerilla warfare, which won them many wars against Sri Lankan army. There was a time, when it was feared LTTE could take over the entire Sri Lanka. As for the fall of every king and kingdom, here was Lt.Karuna, one of the most trusted member of LTTE turned against Prabhakaran, joined Sri Lankan government and exposed all the weakness of LTTE.

Mahela Rajapakshe, ordered a full scale war against LTTE, and vowed not to stop till LTTE is fully destroyed. With the inputs from Lt.Karuna, there was no stopping of Sri Lankan army, which plundered the cities under the control of LTTE.

Unable to withstand the ruthless attack of army, LTTE started retreating back into the jungles,and with the death of Prabhakaran, LTTE declared they had lost the war and laid down their weapons, not before leading to massacre of thousand of innocent Tamil Civilians, whom the LTTE used as a human shield.

LTTE as an organisation may have been destroyed, but the struggle for equal rights for Tamils would still be on... The whole world is watching what Rajapakshe would do for the tamils now...
