Becoming dependent might be too high a price for such new possibilities, Singham thinks: The autonomy achieved up to now deserves to be defended fiercely. His skepticism is understandable, considering his own biography – migrating from East to West and back, a refugee’s life of helplessness and insecurity. At the age of 18, he fled the increasing violence against Tamils, leaving Jaffna, the capital of the north. In Berlin he applied for political asylum. For 11 years, he fought for recognition of this status, with no success. He finally received a German passport after marrying a German woman.
