Divya Manian quoted Charred Lullabies by E. Valentine Daniel
In the many days that I spent with Tamil militants who were fighting for separate state of Eelam, only once did they invoke Tamil historic past,-!: then only to yoke it to the romanticism of the bourgeois Tamil politicians of the then outlawed Tamil united liberation front
— Charred Lullabies by E. Valentine Daniel (Page 27)
Interesting premise where the author talks about how the Sinhalese had created this myth about defeating Tamil King who apparently was an oppressor but Tamil people were uninterested in such mythology.
I see parallels with the myths used by Zionist movement and what is currently happening in Palestine.
