| 520 | _aOn the night of 12 October 1987, in a Special Heliborne Operation, 150 soldiers of the Indian Peace Keeping Force (IPKF) were trapped inside Jaffna University, Sri Lanka, surrounded by fighters of the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE). As the rest of the IPKF force desperately tried to break through the well-entrenched LTTE defences, the soldiers found themselves slowly bleeding to death. Miserably behind schedule, outnumbered and outgunned with ammunition and supplies fast dwindling and no reinforcements in sight—the rescuers fought with their backs, literally, to the wall. With the politicians playing their own games and the Indian spy agencies supporting the LTTE against them, the IPKF fought to determine who was friend and foe. Battlefield Jaffna takes you into the heart of the struggle, right in the middle of the most brutal, intense and dirty battle fought in Sri Lanka. It is a story of men without bullets—of men with only their courage left to defend themselves as the battle wore on. | ||
