The recent electoral success of the NPP does not signify a decline in Tamil nationalism.
Commemorations for Maaveerar Naal, honoring LTTE fighters, drew tens of thousands, indicating continued Tamil commitment to their cause.
While NPP's victory included all but one Tamil-majority district, it reflects disillusionment with local Tamil politicians rather than a rejection of Tamil nationalism.
Support from Tamils for NPP remains precarious, with ongoing arrests and unmet promises causing frustration within the community.
The Tamil struggle for autonomy persists as political solutions from the state have repeatedly failed, driving reliance on the international community for justice.
