I wondered whether this person was legit - or was an invention of his daughter's PR machine. I have found some references to him so it does seem real. He seems to have been involved in Tamil group EROS and his cadre name was Arular. [1] has a para on EROS. Secret london 16:34, 31 August 2005 (UTC)
He has written two books - one a "True History" of the Tamil people and another a poorly-written critique of capitalism. He is an engineer (civil, I believe) who received his undergraduate degree in Moscow. He claims to have trained at one point with the PLO. He is currently a middle-aged (pretty much old by my reckoning) man who failed out of his studies at the University of Cambridge in 2006 where he was pursuing a Master of Philosophy degree in Engineering for Sustainable Development. Oh, while he still goes by "Pragasam" the rest of his name is completely different...I don't feel like looking up his old emails to me to be certain of it. In the spring of 2006 he returned to Sri Lanka. ~ A classmate from Cambridge —Preceding unsigned comment added by 201.238.172.147 ( talk) 18:24, 2 January 2008 (UTC)
This guy's only real notability seems to be in that he is the father of M.I.A. (and Kali Arulpragasam); all the references given are primarily about M.I.A., not this guy. - M.Nelson ( talk) 18:34, 7 November 2009 (UTC)
It says "Following the 2009 Vanni massacre,". The definition of a massacre: noun: an indiscriminate and brutal slaughter of many people. verb: deliberately and brutally kill (many people).
It was a war, you can't say either side did this with proof. There were civilian casualties but the general rules of engagement was tiger rebels and government forces fighting each other. I believe that line breaks wiki's NPOV.
