Seeing images of the all elusive Velupillai Prabhakaran’s dead body being beamed on television brought to memory one of William Blake poems, albeit the Tiger lying dead was a self proclaimed one.
Tiger, Tiger, burning bright
In the forest of the night,
What immortal hand or eye
Could frame thy fearful symmetry?
Ironically he did not possess the ‘fearful symmetry’ but had a rather pleasing personality.
Talking of Tamils in Lanka, 2 names come to your mind almost immediately, one is Vellupillai Prabhakaran and the other is Muttiah Muralidharan. Let’s hope and pray the bloody era in the history of Sri Lanka is over and there’s peace and harmony among all communities and ethnic groups. Sri Lankan government should take a cue from their cricket team which has as its members men from different religious and ethnic backgrounds. Let Sri Lanka prove to the world by producing many more Muttiah Muralidharans.
