I repeat - IF Tamil was not made one of the official languages of Singapore, I bet you a bitter resentment by Tamils in Singapore would have sparked a hoarser voice.
On a small scale, Tamils living in an area called Matunga in Mumbai, where they were (and still are) in a majority, wanted the area to be renamed as MATUNGAM (back in the late 60s) . A severe anti Tamil movement began due to this over-chauvinistic approach taken by the Mantunga Tamils and riots ensued. The name MATUNGA remained till today but the fact remains, wherever Tamils go, they are overly proud of their culture and language (and rightly so , no problems with that). What the problem is, is that you guys cry a bit too loud when your culture / people / language is even assumed to be under threat by an ant !

The very word Eelam means the norther and eastern regions of sri lanka.
We have a separate name for our region that is Tamil Nadu and our country name is India.
I don't understand what else pooram you are speaking about from your imagination.
