The Tamils on...
Tamils are natives of Toilet Nadu, not Sri Lanka. They have nothing to show for any 'civilisation' in the island. They are thieves who invaded the island and are now trying to claim large parts of it as theirs.
In general, they have done nothing but kill, destroy, steal, murder and massacre. Not happy with Tamil Nadu which is twice the size of Sri Lanka they invaded the island and are trying to steal 2/3 of the coastline and 1/3 of the land area for less than 12% of island's population.
