It definitely would not be the final battle. With or without LTTE, the struggle for Tamils Autonomy will continue.
Until there is a Tamil alive in Sri Lanka or abroad, Tamils will voice their history, genocide of Tamils, the fallen political, media & LTTE heros and the continuous marginalization of Tamils in Sri Lanka. In that sense, the (present, and past) Sri Lankan Government(s) has/have lost the oppression battle when the first Tamil left Sri Lanka as a refugee to abroad after 1983 Black July.
Tamils Autonomy is the final destiny. How Tamils will get there? only time will tell.
