A Word from the Author
The new millennium dawned on a world shaken by the emergence of two
violent terror organizations: the Tamil Tigers and Al-Qaida. Al-Qaida is a
byproduct of the Tamil Tigers. The Srilankan forces
ruthlessly defeated the seemingly invincible Tamil Tigers at the Battle of
Mullivaikkal in 2009. A fact that came to light was that Sri Lanka
government received military aid from more than twenty-five countries in order
to finally crush the Tamil Tigers, the world’s deadliest terrorists.
This
novel, ‘His Royal Highness the Tamil Tiger’, explores
only a minute portion of the Tamil Tigers’ atrocities and carnage they
inflicted on the Tamil community—their own brothers
and sisters—in Jaffna
from 1972 to 2009. Jaffna
rests in the northern part of the pearl shaped island of Sri Lanka .
The island, sitting somewhat snug to the southern tip of India and
within the Indian Ocean , suffered terribly at
the hands of the Tamil Tigers.
