Why do Sri Lankan Tamils feel they are a minority when they form 25% of Sri Lanka's population compared to the Indian Tamils who form only about 6% of India's population?

 Dear Anonymous, a nameless divine,

Your facts are wrong alongwith your perception.

Sri Lankan population is only 2 crore. Tamils are about 20 lakhs, about 10%. Population of 2 crore where 1.8 Crore majority could not take along with them, 20 lakh minority.

TN itself has 7 Crore population, more than three times of total Sri Lanka. 7 Cr is a big number with the emotional support of 130 cr divines.

This Tamil identity is the dangerous thing created by the tiny island.

We, in TN, do not aware of this tamil identity business before 1980s. Even before independence of India, the mainland had bigger empires with wider geographic reach, consisted of all ethnic communities since 14th century.

Proof is in the pudding, just an example Rajinikanth prospers in TN whereas Subramanyam Swami prospers in Delhi and Shiv Nadar prospers in UP.

Mainland follow golden rule:

Yadum Oore; Yavarum Kelir.

I am surprised, within 20 lakhs, there is a sub categorisation by this Island nation as Indian Tamils and Sri Lankan Tamils.

Many in Mainland (TN) may not be aware that, Tamils in N Eastern region of Sri Lanka, settled before 12–13 century, alongwith native Tamil in West and rest are called Sri Lankan Tamils,

whereas

Tamil plantation workers migrated in 19th century to Central Sri Lanka by the British are called Indian Tamils.

Fall out in TN:

I could recall, after 1980s

There are organized groups in the name of “Tamil Nationalism (Sri Lanka?)” or “Tamil Desiyam (Indian Branch?), which always try to play these ethnic divisions.

These people support “red wood smugglers” in Eastern Ghatts as they are Tamils. Few Tamil TV Channels follow Nalini, a convicted assassin, for over 35 years.

Why they do?

British not only divided us through partition of India, Pakistan and created conflicts in Kashmir.

It also rendered 8 lakh plantation tamil workers “Stateless” at the time of Sri Lankan independence. Majority were ezhavas or Panayeri Sanaars, migrated during British regime in 19th century from Southern Districts of Tamil Nadu and Kerala.

Since then 40% were given citizens in Sri Lanka and remaining 60% were displaced and accepted in India, UK, Australia and Canada. India has accepted over 120000.

Since they had emotional trauma of “Stateless” due to ethnic conflict, they always look for creating such ethnic conflicts in the mainland. They create imagineries of trauma they underwent and pass it onto youngsters of mainland. They even try to align the caste names as found in Sri Lankan Eastern Region.

Many in Mainland (TN) may not be aware that, Tamils in N Eastern region of Sri Lanka, settled before 12–13 century, alongwith native Tamil in West and rest are called Sri Lankan Tamils, whereas Tamils migrated in 19th century to central Sri Lanka by the British are called Indian Tamils.

Eastern region Tamils follow traditional “Kudi” system of Vellalars or Karaiyars with Panchamars (Nalars, Pallars, Parayars, Vannars and Ambattayars). Now you may wonder, how these Indian Ezhava Tamils migrated as bonded labours in 19th century to central Sri Lanka, made our TN youngsters popularising the Sri Lankan term Vellalars - it is tail trying to make the head dance. Beware, 1.2 Lakh bad elements spoiling 7 crore mainland Tamils.

There are films such as “Asuran” on the caste lines of Maharashtra, murdering the main theme of Sahitya academy novel “Vekkai” and projecting it as happened in TN.

They have taken an incident of breast tax from history in Travancore Princely state and created an imaginary as if it happened in Tamil Nadu. Ridiculous.

They are backed by political parties and Foreign funds, ofcourse from their diaspora across the Globe. There are people employed by them, to propogate such tweets in social media.

Their view does not reflect the view of rest. The mainland had bigger empires with wider geographic reach, consisted all ethnic communities since 14th century. Proof is in the pudding, just an example Rajinikanth and many more in all spheres.

Majority still follow golden rule:

Yadum Oore; Yavarum Kelir.

Yes. Tamils pay price for the conversion, migration tactics adopted by the British.

It is time to ensure that these stateless elements not play ethnic cards with our youngsters .

We had enough in mainland, Karuppar Koottam, Sanga Thamizhan- it is being projected everything these “Traumatized Stateless People” does as done by Ancient Tamils!!!
