Encouraging Sinhala Buddhist extrmists to ancient HIndu palces ofd worship in to Buddhist and then greeting HIndus for Diwali.This is like taunting Tamils and Hindus

No Mr. Parekh. Eelam Tamils are 80% hindus and the leadership is also 80% HIndu and 20% Christian. FOr your information Prabaharan is a devout Hindu. He had stated that one of the things that made him determined to fight for the native Eelam Tamils was an incident in the 1950's when he was a young boy, when Sinhala mobs during one of their anti Tamil pogroms detroyed a HIndu temple and burnt the Tamil Brahmin priest alive. He asked his father as to why this was happening and as to why Tamils cannot defend themsleves their places of worship and their own priests. He stated no people are worth living if you cannot defend your own places of worship and protect your own priests.

sorry, you will have to be far more convincing than an ols anectdote. i will belive it if prabhakaran declares publicly himself a hindu and is seen at a mandir often enough. the xtian civilization is crafty, you just can't give them benefit of doubt any more. i am sorry, at the moment ltte is being seen as playing into the hands of western xtian establishments. ltte also raises whole bunch of money in the west from dubious sources.

Neither Prabaharan nor I have to pulicly declare that we are HIndus . That is silly no sane person does it is up to you to believe it or not it doesn not bother us. There are many books egarding the burning of the HIdnu temple and priest in Panadura read a book written by a Tarzie Vittachi he was a famous journalist nad a Sinhalese ( he used to write for the Newsweek)
