KP’s foolishness and recklessness also contributed to his downfall. The kidnapping of KP and handing him over to GOSL, is an act of ignominy that can only happen in a country where there is no law and order. As leaders of the Tamil Eelam nation, it is presumed that they would not have escaped, abandoning the LTTE fighters to the tender mercies of the Singhalese army. The presence of the IPKF in Northeast would have saved the Eelam Tamils from much loss of life and property at the hands of the Singhalese, and prevented the demerging of the Northern and Eastern provinces.Īs the LTTE has been completely eliminated, the disputes as to whether Prabaharan, Pottuamman and Soosai are alive or dead is not of much consequence. The tactical errors of the LTTE fighting the IPKF and the assassination of Rajiv Gandhi, cost the Tamils dearly. The defection of Karuna and Pillayan of the Eastern Province, the hostility of the foreign countries and the banning of Tigers in many of them, the help given to the Sri Lankan state by many countries including India, Pakistan, China, Iran, Libya etc., and the intelligence services given by India were some of the reasons. The defeat of the Tigers can be attributed to many causes.
The innocent Tamils thus fell from the frying pan into the fire. This made it possible for the Sri Lankan government to intern the surrendering Tamil civilians of about 300,000 in concentration camps behind barbed wires and armed Singhalese guards. The LTTE in the conduct of the war, committed the blunder of taking the civilians with them on their retreat, even when cornered in Mullaitivu. While it was known that the LTTE was retreating and cornered, Tamils did not expect the LTTE to give up the fight. The defeat of the Tamil Tigers sent shock waves throughout the Eelam Tamil nation within and outside Sri Lanka.
The entire LTTE leadership were killed or captured by the triumphant Singhalese armed forces in May. Non-violent agitation by Tamils for over 35 years was brutally crushed by the Singhalese. These attacks culminated in 1983, when around 3,000 Tamils were massacred throughout the country, and 90% of their property in Singhalese majority areas destroyed. The Tamils, before the armed rebellion started, had been subjected to repeated racial attacks by the Singhalese mobs and armed forces. Two and a half decades of Tamil armed resistance thus came to an end. The defeat of the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam on or around marked the end of Eelam War 4 and the complete conquest of Eelam by the Singhalese-dominated Sri Lanka government. However, such stooges are a small minority. There are some stooges of stooges around the world who express a different opinion, of bowing to the victors and paying obeisance. The concept of Eelam has suffered a severe setback in Sri Lanka, but it is very much in the hearts and minds of Tamils throughout the world, including a good percentage of Tamil Nadu Tamils and some Indians outside Tamil Nadu. The republic declared indipendence in 1983 and it was recognised as a soverign nation by Sri Lanka in 1986 with the Pace Agreements of Dhaka.26th Year on the Web Association of Tamils of Sri Lanka in the USAĮelam Tamils after the End of Eelam War 4

The Socialist Republic of Tamil Eelam ( தமிழீழ சோசலிச குடியரசு) is a nation that was created from the ashes of Doomsday, since July 1983 the Island of Sri Lanka was engulfed in a civil war between the central government and the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam, a Tamil nationalistic and socialist militant organization, among other nationalistic groups, that aimed at creating a ethnocratic Tamil state, free from the Sinhalese domination.
