While some refuted the bogus claim and challenged the bona fides of the claimant, the majority kept silent. This was what happened when the fraudulent Thuvaraka claim was made too. Hence they remain quiet disbelievers when these false claims are made. However they find it difficult to contradict these bogus claims because they are reluctant to reiterate that Prabha and family members have died. When claims are made from time to time that the LTTE leader and family members are alive they know these are not true. It is a truth that many do not want to talk about. Most Sri Lankan Tamils know that Prabhakaran and his family are not among the living. She was also accused of pretending to be Prabhakaran’s daughter earlier and engaging in a racket to solicit cash donations from LTTE sympathisers and supporters for the medical expenses of her father. It was alleged by several people that the woman had been involved in many confidence tricks and had embezzled funds from gullible victims. Many Tamil residents of Switzerland recognised the woman posing as Prabha’s daughter to be none other than a woman named Mithuja Rajaratnam residing in Arbon Thurgau, Switzerland. But the biggest bombshell of all was the real identity of the woman posing as Prabhakaran’s daughter Thuvaraka. It was obvious that it had been compiled by excerpting paragraphs and lines from previous speeches by Prabhakaran. Moreover the text of the speech was bland and uninspiring. The visual image of the woman on YouTube indicated very clearly that she was an impostor. The exultant bang expected on 27 November ended as a pathetic whimper. The pro-LTTE world was torn asunder by the so-called return of the Tiger leader’s daughter. This was resisted by the elements promoting the “duplicate” daughter. While the silent majority of Tamils quietly watched this brazen attempt to bamboozle the community, several voices were raised in protest against what was obviously a fraudulent exercise. A sustained campaign of expectation was propagated. However in an unexpected twist this year, it was proclaimed that Thuvaraka Prabhakaran would deliver the Great Heroes Day speech on behalf of her father from an undisclosed location. Though Maaveerar Naal was observed every year in many parts of the world on 27 November there was no annual address by Prabhakaran as the LTTE leader was not among the living. In May 2009, the LTTE was militarily defeated and the hierarchy including Prabhakaran was no more. The last time the oration was made was on 27 November 2008. It had been the practice in earlier times for LTTE leader Prabhakaran to deliver a speech on that day. The campaign promoting the LTTE leader’s daughter described as the “Theasathin Puthalvi” (Nation’s daughter) reached its zenith on the LTTE’s “Maaveerar Naal” (Great Heroes Day) observed on 27 November 2023. In recent times there has been a concerted effort by Tigerish and pro-Tiger elements to make people believe that Prabhakaran, Madhivadhani and Thuvaraka are alive.įurthermore it was projected that the LTTE was going to be revived under the leadership of the Tiger supremo’s daughter Thuvaraka Prabhakaran (her name is being spelt by many as Duvaraka and Dwaraka but I am following the manner in which the name is pronounced by Sri Lankan Tamils). Subsequently it was claimed that some other family members too were alive. Though 14 years have passed since the war ended, there are many who claim that the LTTE supremo is yet alive and that the body found on the shores of Nandhikkadal lagoon was a lookalike of Prabhakaran. Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) leader Veluppillai Prabhakaran, his spouse Madhivadhani Erambu, daughter Thuvaraka and sons Charles Anthony and Balachandran along with thousands of other Tamils died in the final phase of the armed conflict at Mullivaaikkaal in the Karaithuriaipattru AGA division of Mullaitheevu district in May 2009. The biggest bombshell of all was the real identity of the woman posing as Prabhakaran’s daughter Thuvaraka
