We are a nation. Our country is ours. We want a prosperous and peaceful life in that country. It is enough that we have been slowly dying in the hands of oppression over time. Since the time when we thought that, when the peaceful paths of freedom, hunger strikes, and peaceful protests were suppressed with strong weapons and our voices were crushed and choked, the people of Tamileelam rose up to break the grip of those powerful hands and are removing them one by one.
With the Tirunelveli attack in 1983, many youths were gradually joining the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam and becoming fighters. The army and the government took away all the rights of the people of Tamileelam one by one. The SL soldiers were setting foot on all the roads of Tamileelam, and Suban (Sundaralingam) was one of those who felt their heart swell and joined the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam in 1984.
‘Suban’ was born on Monday, 21st of July 1965 in a village called Kalliyadi, in the Mannar district of Tamileelam. He was born as the beloved son of Vinasithambi and Mahilamma, among twelve siblings. He started his education in Kalliyadi and later continued his education at the Mahavidyalaya in a neighboring village. His parents’ given name was Sundaralingam. His affectionate name was Maniam. As a freedom fighter, he was given the name Suban in the camp of the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam.
Suban, who joined the freedom struggle as an armed fighter in 1984, completed his weapons training in India and then special commando training and served as the bodyguard of leader Prabhakaran. Later, he came to Tamileelam to fight in the field.
In his native Mannar, he fought shoulder to shoulder with the then Mannar District Commander Victor. He fought very skillfully during the time when he had to wage a fierce struggle with the Indian troops who were raising the flag of peace and became the Special Commander of the Mannar District in 1989.
Suban became maveeran in the Mannar Poonagari attack, where he destroyed two mini camps and 62 guard posts and seized a large number of weapons.
