Sri Lanka's so called "Tamil issue"

[Skyline]

The earliest use of the word is found in a Tamil Brahmi inscription as well as in the Sangam literature. The Thiruparankundram inscription found near Madurai in Tamil Nadu and dated on palaeographical grounds to the 1st century BCE, refers to a person as a householder from Eelam (Eela-kudumpikan).[4] The inscription reads,
: erukatur eelakutumpikan polalaiyan "Polalaiyan, (resident of) Erukatur, the husbandman (householder) from Eelam." .[3]
Since the 1980s the words Eelam and Eelavar have been taken up by the Sri Lankan Tamil resistance movement. In this usage, Eelam refers to Tamil Eelam, an area covering what has been reconstructed by historians as the former Jaffna Kingdom. Eelavar now refers to the future citizens of Tamil Eelam

Names for Sri Lanka

Sinhala, Sinhale, Lanka, hela, Helaya, heladiva, heladivaina, Sinhala div, Sinhala deepa
Word "serendipity" came from Sinhala div.
Celio (Sinhala land) and then by British it was "Ceylon" (Sinhala land)

Eelam came from Sinhelam, Tamils have issue with 'h' they use "K" which sound as "G". That's why some of Tamils say "Singhala" but we are "Sinhala".

Indian Tamils are the second main batch from India, British brought them to Sri Lanka in British era. Sri Lanka able to send some of percentage back to their land, tamilnadu. Some of them lived here with out a country, anyway GoSL gave SL citizenship to all of them at last.

so rest of Tamils who came to Sri Lanka in various periods before the British era, we consider them as Sri Lankan Tamils. 


Who start killing civilians? Who made terror outfit to kill civilians? who trained them? In which country they trained them? how many years were they spread violence in Sri Lanka? Now don't cry, they got what they deserve!

Yawn ......tamils known length and breath of seas/oceans
Ex. Pandiyas made trade with Rome , Combodian temple built by tamil kings , Bay of bengal popularly calling as lake of cholas. But they spared SL ???? REALLY.

SL is tamil land ,singalese(half tamil and half bengali) were migrated from kalinga. 
The distance between Rameshwaram/Danuskodi to SL is only 28kms.

The problem is these stupid homelesss tamil race doesn`t have a country so they go to other countries and ask for separate lands
then when they get beaten , they call it a human right violation ! if you cant fight why you start a fight at first place?

Tamil race never had a land of their own.They should be thankful for Sinhalese for letting them live here.So called Sinhala only act is making Sinhalese the official language of Sinhala nation when brits left(sl has been Sinhalese for 3000 years and 75% is Sinhalese..rest of the 25% too can speak Sinhalese)

this is like Tamils migrating to UK as refugees and asking them to change Britain`s language to tamil..SL didn`t commit any genocide but I wish they did..Tamils are a burden for everyone..army should have kicked them back to where they belong long time ago

Useless thread.. Just prime for trolling by our feline representative on PDF and ofcause the the butt hurt Madrasis.. Better off people researching this on the internet, There are plenty of reputed sources like the CIA fact book, Genealogies, Sri Lankan/ Ceylon history.. Other than LTTE propaganda sites, Tamil Nadu separatist supremacist sites or Wikipedia

These madrasis are the founding fathers of suicide attacks in ancient times and modern times. Now they are shamelessly trying to advice us on human rights.


1)To counter the superior numbers of the Chola dynasty empire's army in the 11th century CE, suicide squads were raised by the Indian Chera rulers. This helped the Cheras to resist Chola invasion and maintain the independence of their kingdom from the time of Kulothunga Chola I. These warriors were known as the "chavers". Later, these suicide squads rendered service aspolice, volunteer troop and fighting squads in the region. Now their primary duty was to assist local rulers in battles and skirmishes. The rulers of the state of Valluvanad are known to have deployed a number of suicide squads against the ruler of Calicut.

To the Sinhalese-supremacist, LTTE was created by India or alternatively the Vatican to destroy Lanka, the sole refuge of Sinhalese 'Wahhabi' Buddhism.

The ‘Sinhala Only’ language legislation and other anti Tamil acts, such as structural genocide, were necessary correctives measures to restore the ‘natural imbalance’ of the majority Aryan Buddhist Sinhala race.

Hence, there are no Tamil grievances, who are ‘guests’ in an exclusively Sinhalese Buddhist owned Sri Lanka and they have no right to grievances. With the defeat of LTTE, this mindset has become dominant and the staple of Sinhala Nazi propaganda.

haha. Sinhalese are native to Sri Lanka only. our roots may have links to other parts of the world coz the human started from Africa. so Tamils in India also may have roots to some part of the world.
Tamils ended up in different countries coz of some groups used them as cheap labour/salves. etc

even today except Jaffna all other northern parts and some of southern parts are low density areas. Veddha people who we consider as ancient group, their native language is easy understandable by any Sinhalese.

haha Sinhalese and Sri Lanka well known among East Asian countries coz of the buddhism. Once we ruled burma too. Random invading does not make they are native to those lands.

I just wanted to share the percentage of Tamils who live in North and other parts of the country and share their demands on this thread. But that malion started usual trolling in the thread. 

One of our Sinhala king ruled Burma another one some parts of Tamilnadu.
map is incorrect, we faced invades from southern India but no one able to take fully control over the island. The only one who able to do that was British in 1815.

They are always have good relation with Sinhalese.

Indian Tamils (people who brought in British Era) too dark skin holders, There are dark skin SL Tamils too but compared to both of them some SL Tamils have light skin than this Indian Tamil group. so these two groups spending life keeping a gap in among them.

stop twisting history , btw there's no such thing as Sinhala king/race etc, its just a mixture of everything that landed on Lankan shores

the myth of Sinhala invasion or rule of Burma based on Sinhala source (Mahavamsa /Chulavamsa Chronicle ) has been refuted by Burmese historians,citing erroneous inferences, lack of evidence and the history of the Burmese having an uninterrupted dynasty succession

Refer - 'Myth and History of Historiography of Early Burma' by Michael A, Aung Thwin,

The difference between Indian tamils and SL tamils is that Indian tamils are short , very skinny and darker (being dark doesn`t make you ugly but being short , super skinny and bad features does !)
