Letters Recovered From Slain LTTE Women Speak Louder

Emotions and true-self in every human being, no matter what your gender or vocation is, for that matter, even a brainwashed terrorist, would come to the fore when the moment of awful truth dawned on any person.

The human nature is such, unable to make moral and rational judgments, that it always finds the sad desperation to commit terrorist acts, in this case, on the orders of the leadership. The case under reference was the latest detection of a few personal letters from the possession of dead women cadres of the LTTE. Those letters recovered from female Tigers died recently in Mannar and Welioya speak louder than what has been written by those victimized female Tigers. One Daya Nagai Neela, an LTTE woman cadre who has been conscripted by the LTTE as she alleged, wrote to her mother, father and the family while he was on the LTTE frontline at Uyilankulam, Mannar on 9th January 2008, just a few days before her death. Extracts from some of those letters found from dead Tigers are as follows:

“Mother, please don’t bother about me. If you are sick please go to hospital and get treatment. Amma, what can I do? When all those at home in the area were taken away, I too had to go with them. Every fighter cries “Amma and Appa” at the time of their heroic death. They are all anxious to see their mothers. Since 8 August 2007. I am at Mannar Forward Defence Lines. We do not have food, water or tea at the battlefield. Life in the organization is very miserable. During the firing of mortars and shells we crawl and bring food and water etc. I will come to our Pongal. I don’t know what my fate will be. Amma, please reply every letter which I send. I hope for a reply on the same day itself- yours loving daughter Daya Nagai Nila. (928)”
