Lieutenant Shankar

Death of a Venkaiah:
Shankar,

S. Satyanathan searching for the Armed Forces.

A guerrilla warrior who went into hiding at the age of 20, he was the leader of the LTTE’s offensive division.

Veeramaravan, who was waiting to dedicate himself to the movement at an early age with a revolutionary feeling in his heart as a blindfolded kitten. He stands around while escaping the sudden siege of the Royal Army and is wounded when the commandos fire a barrage of bombs, embracing the pride of being the first casualty of our movement.

Shankar is an atheist who does not know what fear is. Although an icon, he fearlessly engages in the production of bombs that can explode by hand and kill a person. Although he was the target of intense surveillance by government forces, he roamed the villages and streets without fear. At the same time the rotating eyes are able to observe the surrounding conditions closely. Shankar was always aware that even the slightest mistake he made unknowingly would endanger himself and his movement in the manner of a guerrilla warrior. He did not hesitate to drop one of his enemies and die if he fell into the hands of the royal forces. The so-called freedom fighters gather in droves to read the news of their capture with weapons. Shankar, who is calm and does not talk much, has a deep meaning to this murmur. Shankar’s firm conviction was that it was cowardly for a freedom fighter to surrender without any resistance at the hands of state forces, armed. Especially in the early stages of the Tamil Eelam liberation struggle; Shankar felt that the tendency for government forces to arrest armed freedom fighters would boost their confidence in the government forces in defeating the liberation struggle.

The wounded man jumped over the wall and fled to another hideout of their guerrilla division, only to find that they had reached a safe place and were taken down from the waist to the revolver. His is the death of a warrior who is not caught in the hands of the enemy alive and armed.

What he achieved at the age of twenty-one belongs to the history of the Tamil Eelam struggle. Fascist dictator JR Jayewardene has said he can now send scouts to suppress the LTTE in the north. When Jayewardene declared in the Sri Lankan capital, Shankar’s guerrilla attack on government forces under Nelliyadi showed the government that the struggle for Tamil Eelam would not end until Tamil Eelam saw it. Shankar is credited with making the first successful attack on the driver of the jeep, stopping the jeep, opening the door and throwing the driver out with one hand. His ingenuity in aiming at the mere taking of the revolver from the waist is original. The scene of Shankar spreading his legs wide and standing sideways in a state of panic under the Nelliyadi still haunts our eyes.

Shankar also played a significant role in the success of the guerrilla attack led by Seelan on the Chavakachcheri police station. The poison test was to attack the Chavakachcheri police station, located a short distance from the main street with the terraced building, through the front gate, while the police stations were highlighted by the government. But what can the dangers and obstacles do in the face of the fighters Shankar and Seelan, who have written their lives for the past and jumped on the bandwagon of revolution? Shankar, who was in charge of a part of the Chavakachcheri police station with a G3 rifle, paralyzed the local government forces.

Shankar also worked hard on the Ponnalai blast. Sankara is responsible for the operation against United National Party member Thambappillai.

The ability to drive any type of vehicle neatly is a testament to Shankar’s multifaceted energy. Excitement following a guerrilla attack. Shankar is adept at driving with great speed and composure amidst the urge to leave before the opposition arrives on the scene.

Will pay close attention when training weapons for fellow fighters. Will explain clearly. He is interested in asking others things he does not know. He endured personal value among his fellow fighters for his love and kindness.

Shankar, who had an unshakable belief that the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) could win under the political and military leadership of the LTTE, dissolved himself into the movement. The liberation struggle was Shankar’s whole breath. This hero jumped into the armed arena for the liberation struggle. He hated anti-social activities and opportunists. His mind is very clean. Such a heart
