Dear Gaja,
I think you are absolutely right about the parallel between the LTTE and the JVP. However as liberation organizations their strategies are grossly deformed in my opinion. It is not simply a matter of theory that liberation cannot only apply to one group of people on this side of an imaginary line while on the other side... well who gives a damn. The people and cultures and economy of Sri lanka are too interpenetrated for that to be the case. The JVP perhaps understood that at one point and that is why maybe they called themselves a `Peoples Liberation Front` instead of a Sinhala Liberation Front although they seem to think that the category People applies only to Sinhalese these days. On the other hand the LTTE never had such pretensions. They were always the Tamil Liberators. They may be less hypocritical but I think no less flawed in their strategy. Those willing to sacrifice and moved by higher ideals of liberation need to work together irrespective of ethnic affiliation especially in this day and age of globalization.
