No tears for Prabhakaran ...





The great Leader who twice tried to flee from the scene of fighting, dumping his soldiers and followers !! ..

If Prabhakaran was not a coward, would he have decimated all threat to him from among Tamilians and Sri Lankans..? Would he have terrorised his people so much and become the unassailable and very secretive person he was known to be ?

If he was worrying about his family, would he have killed or  commanded the killing of  so many people, men, women, kids included?

The greatest coward and the sole person responsible for destroying the Tamil cause in Sri Lanka for his selfish ends, Pirabhakaran, does not deserve any mercy from any quarters .. 

No tears for Prabhakaran, though his family could have been taken care of ..



A dreaded terrorist on the lines of a mini Hitler ... His selfish desire for fame, for a distorted Tamil cause, revolving only around him and the organisation which he founded, cost 100,000 lives, besides his own !!

Towards the end he failed to see reason and was so scared of death and losing power that he secluded himself and exercised too much control, which naturally led to revolting from within and finally his DOWWNFALL ...!!

A VALUABLE LESSON FOR DICTATORS AND DICTATORS-TO-BE OF THE WORLD ..

Mandate to sit in the opposition .. !!

It was very interesting to note how the think tank of the losing party, the BJP, ( who showed uncanny magnanimity in accepting defeat for the first time ever in their history..) accepted the fact that the people of India had given it the mandate to sit in the opposition.

Strange are the ways of politicians , they manage to turn everything to their advantage.. It is ok if they learn the lessons from this, but does it really happen..?

Next time around, the same leaders will once again talk of building the Ram Temple, sethu samudram issue, personally cast aspersions and insinuations against other politicians, personal diatribes or abuses (!!) against people who differ with them. ( they are very famous for that as we all know..), talk of an incapable and weak PM and so on ..

It happens when these people realise they do not have issue worth the salt to discuss and instead resort to cheap gimmicks.. It is very sad at the end of it all, to see the same tactics boomerang.. The whole crowd then cuts a very sorry figure..! exposed and disrobed !!

Any way these are steps to maturity of a democracy.. and we have to make do with such immature politicking ...
