Difference of Ahimasa (Non-Violence) and Himsa (Violence) Theory within LTTE

Thileepan fasted to death on orders from the LTTE supremo Prabhakaran in September 1987 in a sensational demonstration, ostensibly to no purpose other than securing extra places on the Indian brokered interim council, which the LTTE was not serious about after securing its key demand.

Thileepan symbolises the waste of the flower of Tamil youth, and his slow agonising death, the fate to which LTTE politics had condemned the community. LTTE vows Thellepan is symbol of non violence policy in the Tamils.

But LTTE Supremo never used or thinking non-violence policy dealing with enemeis or friends. He still doing his violence policy within and out side the movement. His victims despise him and call him a heartless killer who has no emotions. A section of Eelamian consider him a total maniac, somewhat like Hitler and think that he is irredeemably sub-human being.
Both his friends and foes, however, admire his courage and organising ability. He successfully created a highly disciplined and motivated cadre a manifestation of which is inherent in what has come to be known as “cyanide cult”. Each regular member of the LTTE carries a cyanide pill and is pledged to committing suicide rather than being captured by the enemy.
