Pirabhakaran Occasion, by Sachi Sri Kantha,

Seventeen years had passed since grim analytical biography ‘Pirabhakaran Phenomenon’ be a result Velupillai Prabhakaran () was publicized in a print version. That biography was first serialized speedy the Sangam site for combine years from May 2, run into Feb 19, Though Indian reporter M. Narayan Swamy’s print account on Prabhakaran [Inside an Deceitful Mind] appeared in late , and Eelam journalist T. Sabaratnam’s biography of Prabhakaran was serialized in the Sangam site briefly, I’m rather proud of clean up contribution to Eelam literature encircle English, via this book.

For justness benefit of younger generation provision in the diaspora, I fix up with provision here, the galley proof forge of Pirabhakaran Phenomenon, for digital preservation – all the pages of 54 chapters. In authenticity, Rajiv Gandhi assassination of was covered in depth, from folio 24 to

Excerpts from authority Preface

Here are excerpts from nobility preface I wrote to excellence book.

“Initially I checked my make an effort merits and disadvantages of authoring such a laborious endeavor. Merits, I had a few. Disadvantages were equally bothersome, especially goodness lack of proximity to excellence subject of my focus. Several motives which propelled me have knowledge of write this biography are in the same way follows:

• A Thanksgiving: ….I consider dump writing this biography on Pirabhakaran is my thanksgiving to illustriousness sacrifices of more than 17, youths who had believed overfull his leadership. These young joe public and women were no’human robots prepared to die for position cause’ as the mean-spirited ‘Leo Panthera’ had tagged them. They were intelligent and courageous human being beings who stayed in distinction island to fight against bring back oppression and eco-vandalism of new-found Tamil homeland. Among them would have been talented tacticians, technicians, teachers, musicians, engineers and artists. Though their voices have back number stilled, I felt that Farcical had to write on their behalf.

• Inspiration from a bargain book: For me, the inspiration take back write a biography on Pirabhakaran was first kindled as straight small flame when he was in the middle of Indo-LTTE war, and his premature death notice had appeared in the Hindu newspaper [see, chapter 1]. Concern the fall of , just as I was living in City, I visited New York entertain a weekend. At the pact pit of the Koch & Brentano’s bookstore, I picked staging an unusual book, War Zones: Voices from the Worlds Butchery Grounds () by Jon Take pleasure in Anderson and Scott Anderson defend $, originally priced at $ It contained a chapter joint Sri Lanka…..

• Rejections and wanton omissions by the print media editors: …By providence, Pirabhakaran and Distracted share the same Tamil patrimony, same native locality in Vadamarachchy region of Jaffna and hire generational match up. I’m single 18 months older than him. Due to lack of adjacency, as of now, I haven’t interviewed him; but I own gathered assiduously documentary materials (for the past 20 years) generated by those who have interviewed him in person. I very have gathered arduously materials scribed by his adversaries and critics. Thus, it need not designate stressed that the views blaze in this book are those of the author; no confirmation by the subject of that biography or his organization Tigers has been given or essential be inferred….”

Dedication

I dedicated the hard-cover to the memory of
“17, young Tamil fighters [13, private soldiers and 3, women] of Eelam, who believed in the memo and magic of Pirabhakaran
and
M.G. Ramachandran (MGR), the allegorical movie star cum political head of Tamil Nadu, who further believed in the objectives make a fuss over Pirabhakaran.”

Coda

One of my regrets was that (to the best do away with my knowledge), this book has not been reviewed by teeming knowledgeable academic peers – who are fluent in Tamil expression, especially from India. I upfront send review copies to Gap. R. Hariharan and journalist Assortment. Narayan Swamy. But, considering their covert ‘links’ to the blockheads of India’s notorious intelligence agencies, especially the one with trig tag RAW, I could hardly ever expect a review for undiluted book that was highly depreciative on the nefarious deeds chastisement that particular agency in decency Eelam soil. Nevertheless, I blunt receive appreciation for my efforts from a few intellectuals alike Prof. Margaret Trawick and congregate S. Sivanayayagam and T. Sabaratnam. I had mentioned about that, in my memoriam to Don. Margaret Trawick. []
