RAJIV,
I think late Anton Stanislaus once clarified this when a similar question was thrown at him. He said they are fighting for a Tamil Eelam.
What is more hilarious is not that. Regardless of its alleged existence over 3 millenia, the word Eelam first surfaced in Sri Lankan Political arena in late 1940s when MP C. Suntheralinkam referred to an *Eylom*. At the time they had no clue even how to spell the name of their so called 3000 years old Motherland, so much for its authenticity. It is said that Lord Soulbury had to correct it to Eelam.

Muncha
Ur wrong it was never spelt 'Eylom'..U need to get your facts right without saying hilarious..
The man who fathered the Tamil Eelam concept and introduced the word EELAM into the Ceylonese political vocabulary ? Professor C. Suntharalingam ? died in his ninetieth year at Vavuniya on the 11th February 1985. But it is perhaps a tragic commentary on Tamilian life that the majority of the youths who are today engaged in a liberation struggle for the establishment of a Tamil Eelam have not even heard of him!
It was C. Suntharalingam who founded the Eela Thamil Ottrumai Munnani (Unity Front of Eelam Tamils) in 1959. It is again a tragic commentary of Tamilian life that 26 years after, when Tamils in Sri Lanka are facing both individually and totally. annihilation and extinction at the hands of their own government while the rest of the world maintains the hypocritic pose that it is an internal problem. the victims themselves are unable to unite in one common defence of their lives!
In a printed leaflet, dated from Vavuniya, as far back as 16th December 1959, Mr. Suntharalingam called for a 'Eela Thamil struggle for Independence' (Interestingly, the leaflet carries the name of an Indian printer ? The Trichinopoly United Printers, Tiruchi 2)
