Eelam People's Revolutionary Liberation Front (EPRLF)

The Eelam People's Revolutionary Liberation Front (EPRLF) is a Tamil political and militant organization that emerged in Sri Lanka, primarily during the late 20th century, aiming to establish an independent Tamil state called Tamil Eelam. It was initially formed as a paramilitary group demanding Tamil rights and independence amid ethnic conflict with the Sinhalese-majority government. Over time, the EPRLF shifted from armed struggle to political participation, and it became part of the government’s process to resolve ethnic tensions. The group represents Tamil interests and advocates for Tamil self-determination within a united Sri Lanka.
