	Karikalan - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Karikalan was a 2nd century king of the Chola dynasty, who was famous for his valour and his justice.
		When they came to Karikalan to solve their dispute, they saw that he was a mere boy and did not believe that he could help them.
		Karikalan went into a chamber and came disguised as a wise old man and advised that they should marry the son of the one old man to the daughter of the other and that the disputed lands should go to them as their wedding present from their fathers.

		The 51-year-old Karikalan, with an LTTE track record of 23 years, was not merely a regional figure but is regarded as one of the seniormost leaders and a close confidant of Prabhakaran himself.
		Karikalan, perhaps hurt by the slight administered to him in the Wanni, owing to what he perceived as "SLMC pressure", was determined to show who ruled the East.
		Thus, this perspective presents the Karikalan affair as a stratagem to absolve Prabakaran of responsibility in the harassment of Muslims in the East.
