Let’s Celebrate Prabakaran & the LTTE’s Glorious Achievements!

 

A tribute to the world’s most misunderstood mass murderer and his liberation-through-terror campaign.

They say greatness demands sacrifice—and Velupillai Prabakaran understood this better than most. He wasn’t content with speeches; he offered the world a blueprint: to build a homeland, first destroy the present; to claim justice, first silence every voice—especially your own people’s; to prove your worth, leave no witness behind. For over three decades, he led with unmatched precision: dismantling democracy, eliminating dissent, recruiting children, and bleeding civilians dry—all while demanding the world call it liberation. Some build nations through unity; he built his with bunkers, landmines, cyanide, and the bones of the innocent. And still, they light candles for him. They hold commemorations in universities. UN officials attend. Foreign parliamentarians give speeches. So, in the spirit of glorifying terror, let’s not just mourn Velupillai Prabakaran—let’s celebrate the man who redefined cruelty and called it Eelam, by honoring every child stolen, every right violated, and every drop of blood shed in his name.

 

1. Child Soldiers: Prabakaran’s Youngest Martyrs

 

He gave Tamil children a future… in cemeteries.

Thousands were abducted from schools and homes, trained in jungle camps, fed war chants, indoctrinated with hatred for the Sinhalese whom they had never met and handed AK-47s instead of textbooks.

 

Let’s cheer for the man who turned school children into suicide squads!

 

2. Indoctrination that would make any Cult Jealous

 

Cyanide capsules became jewelry worn with pride but without choice.

Blind obedience became faith.

Tamils were ‘liberated’ — by having their minds hijacked to serve one man’s fantasy of dictatorship.

Let’s raise a glass to the brainwashing of a generation!

Move over, Heaven’s Gate – this is Eelam’s cult classic!

 

3. Champion of Tamil-on-Tamil Violence

• TELO: Wiped out
• EPRLF: Crushed
• PLOTE, EROS, TULF: Silenced
• Tamil Civilians who disagreed? Shot, disappeared, or butchered – hello Chemmani mass graves!

 

He didn’t represent Tamils. He repressed them — better than any colonial master ever did.

And for that, he gets the “Best in Ethnic Self-Sabotage” award.

4. In Its 30 Years of Gruesome Crimes, Let’s Celebrate Over 300 LTTE Attacks on the Innocent

Why settle for one massacre when you can have over 300?
From buses to temples, mosques to markets — the LTTE gave Sri Lanka the gift of daily terror.

 

For three decades, the LTTE’s path to “liberation” was paved with landmines, car bombs, suicide vests, and blood —that of innocent civilians.

 

Here are just a few entries from his blood-splattered resume — each worthy of a posthumous peace prize (if irony were a category)

 

Deserving Terror Oscars, for sure!

• 1984– Kent & Dollar Farm Massacre: 82+ Sinhalese villagers — including pregnant women and infants — butchered like animals.
• 1985– Sri Maha Bodhiya Massacre: 149 Buddhists and monks murdered inside a sacred temple.
• 1985– Yal Devi Train Bombing: 34 commuters killed by a landmine.
• 1986– Air Lanka Bombing: 21 passengers, including 13 foreigners, blown to pieces.
• 1987– Habarana Bus Massacre: 96 civilians and 31 soldiers slaughtered.
• 1987– Pettah Central Bus Stand Bombing: 106 civilians killed, over 300 injured — Colombo’s heart ripped open.
• 1987– Aranthalawa Bhikkhu Massacre: 33 novice monks — children in robes — hacked to death.
• 1987– Zahira College Car Bombing: 23 civilians killed, over 100 injured — parked next to a school.
• 1990– Kattankudy Mosque Massacre: 147 Muslim worshippers gunned down mid-prayer.
• 1990– Eastern Police Genocide: 774 surrendered Sinhala and Muslim police officers executed in cold blood.
• 1990– Ethnic Cleansing: Sinhalese and Muslim civilians in the North given 24 hours to leave or die.
• 1991– Assassination of Rajiv Gandhi: Killed on Indian soil — the LTTE took its terror global.
• 1992– Palliyagodella Massacre: 146 Muslim villagers slaughtered.
• 1996– Central Bank Bombing: 90 dead, hundreds permanently maimed and blinded.
• 1996– Dehiwela Train Bombing: 64 civilians torn apart on their morning commute.
• And dozens more: … too many to list.

If death was the currency of revolution, Prabakaran was a billionaire.

Bravo!

 

Let’s light 300 candles — one for each massacre. Maybe add red velvet frosted cupcakes?

So, let’s stand and applaud!
Let’s celebrate not one or two… but over 300 attacks on unarmed men, women, and children — Sinhala, Tamil, Muslim, and even foreign.

Because clearly, that’s what the candles are being lit for.

 

No religion was spared. Bravo for that rare brand of equal-opportunity terrorism.

 

5. Suicide Bombing: The Black Tiger Legacy

• First female suicide bomber – feminism Eelam edition
• Blew up the Temple of the Tooth & Sri Maha Bodhiya — because sacred sites made excellent target practice.
• Killing Indian & Sri Lankan heads of state – talk about career goals!

 

Why not erect a statue of a suicide vest in every university that mourns him?

 

6. Human Shields: The Real Liberation Wall

 

When cornered, the LTTE’s genius plan?

Use Tamil civilians as body armor.

No-Fire Zones became No-Way-Out Zones.

Escapees were shot. Children placed on the front lines. Even grandparents weren’t spared.

They used women & children as barriers & screamed “genocide” when the crossfire hit.

Let’s honor the commander who perfected tactical cowardice – hiding behind your own people.

 

7. Fashionably Lawless: Civilians by Day, Killers by Night

• Fought in civilian clothing
• Used ambulances to transport bombs
• Used schools & hospitals for warfare.
• Violated every Geneva principle

 

Prabakaran was the original influencer of terrorist-chic. Uniforms are for amateurs!

The LTTE rewrote the rules of war

 

8. Violating the UN Charter? A Daily Ritual

• Shelled from civilian zones
• Blocked humanitarian aid (food & medicine) – kept most for own family & fighters
• Executed dissenters
• Turned child soldiers into human bombs

 

The UN Charter wasn’t violated — it was used as a toilet paper. Yet, strangely, UN officials still show up to mourn him & shed tears for the mastermind. Touching.

 

9. Diaspora Extortion Empire

 

While Tamil youth in Sri Lanka died for “freedom,” LTTE diaspora elite lived in mansions.

“Donations” were collected through fear.

Human rights were currency.

And reconciliation? That was bad for business.

 

Let’s give a round of applause for perfecting the economy of terror.

Janes Intelligence claimed that LTTE’s profits in 2005 was $300m – imagine the profits today from its nefarious legal & illegal operations with now souvenir selling of Eelam pendants, t-shirts & flags to boot. They’re monetizing martyrdom.

 

The LTTE diaspora makes merry — fanning the flames of racism, urging brothers and sisters back home to return to the jungles and fight the Sinhalese… milking Western welfare systems while shedding crocodile tears in Geneva — using blood money to buy off corrupt officials to sing their song.

 

Let’s give a round of applause for the terrorism-to-tourism business model.

 

Coming soon: Eelam NFTs? Because nothing says remembrance like blockchain butchery

 

You’ve heard of Non-Fungible Tokens (NFTs) — digital assets representing art, status, or ownership.
Well, welcome to “Eelam NFTs” — where every massacre becomes a meme, and martyrdom is minted on demand!

 

• A crying Tamil child?That’s not a tragedy — that’s shareable propaganda art.
• A Black Tiger suicide photo?Mint it! Frame it! Sell it!
• A burning Sri Lankan flag?Slap it on a hoodie, sell it for diaspora dollars, and call it cultural resistance.
• LTTE war crimes?Don’t worry — they’ve been “decentralized” and rewritten as “freedom struggle” tokens.

 

Diaspora influencers now use:

• Eelam flags as identity merchandise
• Photos of bombed buildings as visual activism
• Candlelight posts as digital performance
• Online donation drives that fund “remembrance” (and probably retirements)

 

So yes, Eelam NFTs — in case you thought they’d run out of ways to profit off corpses… the perfect way to immortalize bloodshed, bypass international bans, and cash in on curated victimhood… all while sipping lattes in London, Toronto, and Oslo.

 

10. Death Toll: A Legacy of Loss

• Innocent civilians silenced
• Entire provinces emptied
• Every rival slaughtered
• A country traumatised, divided, and delayed for decades

 

For a man who claimed to ‘liberate,’ he sure loved the smell of corpses — and that aroma travelled straight to those who funded him

 

Academia or Accomplices?

Apparently, in some universities, murder is a thesis topic — and terrorism is the graduation speech.

At Jaffna University, candles are lit annually for Prabakaran and his suicide squad — not in secret corners, but inside a Sri Lankan state-funded institution.

Yes, you read that right:

A man who recruited children, massacred monks, used human shields, bombed Central Bank, assassinated Rajiv Gandhi, and ethnically cleansed entire provinces — is being solemnly remembered with flowers and flame, courtesy of Sri Lanka’s free education system by a University up North.

And what does the present government do?

It ensures free speech — for terrorists, not for troops
It even agrees to consider a “memorial centre” — for a group banned as a terrorist organization in over 32 countries, including the EU, UK, US, and India.

 

Meanwhile, if you publicly mourn soldiers who saved civilians from this very terror — you’re called a nationalist bigot.

So let’s be clear:
This isn’t about reconciliation. It’s about rewriting history with blood-soaked ink, and asking the victims to stay silent while the butchers get eulogies and museum space.

 

What kind of world are we living in?

One where:

• Murderers become martyrs
• Terrorism becomes resistance
• Universities become terrorist shrines
• And lighting a candle becomes a political statement — as long as it’s for the “right” killer

Maybe next semester’s syllabus will include:

• “Landmines for Liberation: A Comparative Study”
• “Cyanide as a Symbol: Identity, Resistance & Jewelry Design”
• “Thesis on Tactical Cowardice: Using Civilians as Cover Since 1983”

If this is what passes for higher education, then let’s stop pretending it’s about learning — it’s an ideological cult inside lecture halls.

 

To the UN, Foreign Diplomats & Parliamentarians who attend LTTE Commemorations:

 

You light candles for Prabakaran? Why stop there?

• Light one for Osama bin Laden— he fought Western hegemony too, no?
• Celebrate Adolf Hitler— he too had a vision for his people.
• Honor Joseph Kony— he used children to fight oppression.
• Host a lecture on Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi— misunderstood revolutionary?

 

If you endorse Prabakaran’s legacy under the guise of “remembrance,” then please explain:

• Why glorify the killer of Rajiv Gandhi?
• Why mourn a man who used Tamil children as bombs?
• Why condone the desecration of hospitals, temples, and peace itself?

 

You can’t condemn terrorism in New York, London, or Paris and celebrate it in Mullivaikkal unless your moral compass comes with GPS coordinates.

 

If Prabakaran is your hero, don’t stop at lighting candles.

Throw him a parade.

Name a scholarship after him.

Tattoo his face on your chest.

 

Just don’t insult our intelligence by calling it “peace,” “justice,” or “remembrance.”

Because when you glorify the man who killed Tamils, Sinhalese, Muslims, foreigners, monks, women, children, and even peace itself, you don’t stand for human rights — you dance on their grave.

 

Final Tribute

If this is your hero — Prabakaran, the warlord of Wanni — then

Wave that flag stitched with the suffering of thousands.

Recite your Eelam elegies. Compose candlelight poetry.

But don’t dare pretend it was peace, justice, or freedom.

 

It was terrorism, dressed in a Tamil flag, funded by fraud, and sanitized by hypocrisy.

 

So yes — let’s celebrate.

Celebrate the mass murderer, the child soldier recruiter, the suicide vest visionary, and the global embarrassment of everyone still romanticizing him.

 

After all, it takes a truly spectacular evil to fool the world into mourning a monster.
