In the previous episode, we discussed how the political marginalization and violent suppression of Sri Lankan Tamils led to the rise of militant organizations fighting to create a separate homeland in the northern and eastern regions of Sri Lanka. Among them, the most prominent was Prabhakaran, the founder of the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE).

In this episode, we will explore how ordinary civilians experienced this conflict and examine the role of India—particularly Indira Gandhi—in supporting Sri Lankan Tamil leadership. Tune in to this episode to learn more!
