Not everyone will agree with this, but this is one opinion:

Tamil Tigers are freedom fighters because:

Before the British invaded, Sri Lanka was called Ceylon, a peaceful country for both the Tamils and Singhalese. Once the British left, they handed power back to Sri Lanka back, not realizing they gave majority seats to the Singhalese. The government then voted to make Singhalese the national language, therefore lowering the chance of Tamils finding jobs or getting into university. Then they promoted Budhism as the only religion to follow - giving priority places for university to Singhalese Buddhists.

Tamils tried to make their voice heard but were constantly attacked by Singhalese mobs and gangs. In the 70's the LTE formed as a voice for all Tamils and power in numbers.

The one mission is to fight back the Tamil homeland: north Sri Lanka.

The Tamil Tigers, also known as the LTTE, were considered freedom fighters by some because they fought for Tamil independence in Sri Lanka, where Tamils faced discrimination and marginalization. Their tactics, such as suicide bombings, were controversial but they were seen as defending their community against oppression.
