Misss. Selvi (Poet) and Rajani Thiranagama (Writer and acedemic) were also killed by those who spoke the Tamil of "Tamil Eelam" or refined Tamil of LTTE.There are hundreds of Tamil writers and poets and acedemics are on the LTTE hitlist and many live abroad because of those who speak LTTE refined tamil language. Apart from all this, Neither Bose or any LTTE poets wrote about the forceful eviction of Muslims of about 75000 from the entire North by the LTTE within 24 hours , as a crime against humanity.They all condoned the LTTE who speak the "refined Tamil" which they claim to be Tamil of the future world and Tamils from Tamil nadu may have to learn the LTTE Tamil sooner or otherwise Nedumaran and his collegues will brand the Tamil nadu Tamils as not "original Tamils". Freedom of speech is denied by those who speak Tamil in the North not in the South. Bose was promting LTTE side of literature and he is entitled to his freedom of speech and his death will be remembered as a poet but unfortunately with his defaults of a poet of conscience. I believe the lines of Bose's poem gives me also permission to say what I want to say "give permission to some one, to ask some questions that raise from within the depth of their heart and talk them out" We should fight for freedom of speach for everone and everywhere.

“give permission to some one,
to ask some questions that
raise from within the depth
of their heart and talk them out”

We should fight for freedom of speach for everone and everywhere.
