| Summary: | Reflections of the Leader is an important source for the research of Tamil patriotism in connection with the attempt among militant Īḻattamiḻs, i.e. Tamiḻ speakers of the armed resistance on the island Īḻam (= Sri Lanka), to achieve violently a state formation as protection and last refuge from the Lankan Government’s attacks. This Government holds on, also violently, at a centralised unitary state which cannot be reconciled with the aspirations of the Īḻattamiḻs, for first co-determination in the affairs of the state and then self-determination. As all negotiations from the 1970s onwards have stranded, both sides have decided to let short-lived cease fires be replaced by long-lived martial confrontations up to the level of total war. Both sides are concerned to push through ultimate values. |
