The one reason you showed me - tamils are hindus is itself is a distortion of fact. I am not talking about LTTE here. Look up for Chelvanayakam who commands respect for leading the non-violent movement of SL Tamils. His name is Samuel James Veluppillai Chelvanayakam. So do not apply religious paint here.
How abt Shanmugalingam Sivashankar, Sathasivam Krishnakumar, Gopalaswamy Mahendraraja etc?? All of them were LTTE commanders. All Tamils may not be Hindus but most Tamils are Hindus and I hope you accept that. As stated earlier I wouldn't have preferred linking one's religion to his deeds but few people on this forum force me to do that.
I would trust Annie Besant(I have not brought another eminent scholar Sankaran Nair who was also congress president here for obvious reasons) as she has more credibility than any the leaders in India.
The scholars/Historians I've mentioned over here are all neutral and have closely studied the rebellion.
