Those Tamil Tigers are some sort of Sihk sec as well. They are cuthroats, terrorists in their own right, fighting for some kind of independance in India and Shri Lanka.

No! Tamil Tigers aren't Sikh! They are ethnic Tamils from Sri Lanka, who want a separate homeland on that island, not in India. They are nominally Hindu, but most are atheists.

"The LTTE is officially atheist and the cadre, being Hindus, believe in reincarnation of the soul. The LTTE ideologue Anton Balasingham made a speech in Jaffna (Sri Lanka) in November 1995, claiming that "karma" was the reason for the untimely and unnatural deaths of Sinhala leaders who had "tormented the Tamils."

No. The Tamil Tigers are a Marxist militant group.

They have nothing to do with Sihks
