Re: Tamil Tigers to launch air strikes on Hindustan
I just gone through briefly that article from UCalgary link.
It seems the main purpose of the article is to study the inter-relation of religions from east and not the LTTE militancy and it’s history.
Although it’s not related to topic, but I am mentioning because, felt that this author looks completely pi$$ed by the fact that Western countries lacked genuine philosophies such as Vedanta and Budhhist suttas…and in one sentence the author mentioned also…The author has also very cleverly criticised a learned Yogi like Vivekananda for providing similirities between Budhhists and Hindu philosophies, but the author never analyses the philosophical interpretations of Swami Vivekananda.
Now back to thread topic…the quoted portion of this UCalgary article by yourself does mention that they have interpreted BhagwadGita, to motivate terrorists.
However, news of such incidence is not provided…they have only mentioned that they got this conclusion from an “article” in Sunday Times and not the news.
Can you provide some past specific news, showing LTTE being motivated by Hindutva ideology??
Another link provided by you of harvard university –http://www.hup.harvard.edu/pdf/BOSCON_excerpt.pdf
this has a very interesting stuff in it— it says that
the dead persons from LTTE are burried that means majority Hindus are burried alongside with minority Christians, probably to show solidarity.
It also says it defies Hindu customs of cremation.
One should note that a dead Hindu is not burried, but in case of LTTE it’s happening.
One of the most important aspects in Hinduism is the cremation of dead body as per Hindu rites proper “Dah Sanskar” is a must for the peace of soul.
Since LTTE is burrying the dead bodies of their Hindu fighters—how come they are not adhering to Hinduism here.
This clearly shows their movement is anything but Hindutva.
