1) Lead Section

Tamil also looked for secession from India in the 1960s. The group wanted to unite a greater Tamil Nadu nation for their people. Tamil National Retrieval Troops fought in the 1990s for greater Tamil Nadu. This organization was considered to be part of a larger nationalist Tamil Nadu movement. However, the Tamil Nadu Retrieval Troops were never that large; their membership often hovered around 30. The young men fighting in the Tamil National Retrieval Troops were mostly from the Vanniyar community. The Tamil National Retrieval Troops are also known as Tamil Nadu Retrieval Troops* - this is not another branch but rather another name used by the group.

2) History - The group was also interested in creating their own area in Tamil Nadu.

After the assassination of Rajiv Gandhi, support for Tamil liberation groups decreased steadily. This remained true for years before new Tamil pro-liberation movements, emerged. This was quickly shut down by the then Chief Minister Jayalalitha. This eventually led to the banning of the TNRT.

3) Major events

3.1) On July 2nd, 2002, The Tamil National Retrieval Troops (TNRT)  are included in the Prevention of Terrorist Act (POTA), 2002. The group is officially considered a terrorist organization by the Indian government.

3.2) The Tamil National Retrieval Troops aided Veerappan in the kidnapping of Rajkumar. The TNRT, along with the Tamil Nadu Liberation Army and Veerappan requested that numerous political demands must be met in order for the hostage to be released. The group held Rajkumar for 108 days before finally letting him go unharmed.

4) Linkage

4.1) Veerappan- Was a coconspirator in the kidnapping of Rajkumar.

4.2) Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE), - a group supported by the Tamil National Retrieval troop that was based in Sri Lanka. The liberation tigers of Tamil Eelam established the National retrieval troop as a small militant group. According to Ravichandran, members of the Tamil National Retrieval Troops were instructed by the Liberation tigers of Tamil Eelam to annihilate anyone who opposes their objective for a separate nation for the Tamils. The Tamil Tigers provided training and supplies for the Tamil National retrieval movement in Sri Lanka before sending them into India. The Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam manipulated the young men that became the Tamil National Retrieval Troop in order to use them to complete their own objectives. The Tamil National Retrieval Troop was used to smuggle for the most part.

4.3) Tamil National Liberation Army- Some members possibly belonged to this group as well due to the fact that factions were constantly broken up and disbanded so the soldiers of various Tamil Nadu groups moved from group to group varying based on their beliefs and preferred location. Both groups believe that Tamil Nadu should be free and sovereign, and the land should be set aside for those who reside there.

***** Peer Review******

The first paragraph needs to be cleaned up a little so that all the sentences have a proper subject. ‘Wanted to unite a greater Tamil’ could be modified to ‘The group sought to unite a greater Tamil…’ The sentence ‘Also considered to be part…’ could be updated to ‘They were considered to be part…’ This will just help clarify who exactly belongs to the bigger movement. I think the word varying could be removed in the second to last sentence of the first paragraph. A comma should probably be added after faction in the last sentence.

I really liked the history of Sri Lanka paragraph. I felt that it added a lot of context. The last sentence just needs to be modified so that it is no longer a fragment.

There should be a comma after ‘Rajiv Gandhi’ in the first sentence of paragraph three.

Sri Lanka should be capitalized in 3.2. I felt that this paragraph was particularly strong. You had a lot of great information.

I see that you listed major events; it might be interesting to give a summary of minor attacks too. If you have data on how many low level terror attacks these groups performed, I would add a paragraph summarizing those. You might also consider diving deeper into the Prevention of Terrorist Act in 2.1, because there are a lot of opportunities to use that legislation as a starting point for a section on counterterrorist measures in India.

Overall, I think you have a strong article! You have a lot of great information. Just be sure to add in your external links as actual citations before moving it onto the Wikipedia page.

***** Peer Review 2*****

I agree that the first paragraph needs grammatical edits. There are a few incomplete sentences and sentences with no discernible subject. I would also include the side note about the alternate name for the Tamil Retrieval Troops with the information in the first paragraph so that it flows more smoothly.

I would include the article "the" in front of the term "Tamil National Movement" in the fourth paragraph of section one.

I would use the term "former Chief" rather than "then Chief" for more clarity.

Since you organized sections 2-3 with the sub-units 2.1, 2.2, etc. I would implement them in the first section to maintain continuity.

The name "rajkumar" in section 2.2 needs to be capitalized.

The word "Coconspiritor" in section 3.1 should be split into two words or hyphenated.

In general, I would look your article over to ensure that capitalization is consistent with all the terms. The terms "Tamil National retrieval troop" and "Liberation tigers of Tamil Eelam" are examples of this.

I don't believe that "illegalization" is a recognized word in English. For an alternative, you could say something along the lines of "after the outlawing of these types of groups" or "after the creation of these groups was declared illegal," depending on how you wanted to organize your information.

Ultimately you included a lot of relevant information and presented it in an easily-digestible way. I enjoyed reading your article and the only changes I would recommend are just grammatical nitpicks and notes for consistency.
