Do Tamils want a separate country?

 Yes. They want a separate country in Sri Lanka since 1980s and named it as “ Tamizh Ealam”.

Tamils are the victims by Sri Lankan Nationals.

Yes.

Sri Lankan Population is only 2 Cr, one fourth of Indian State of TN. And Plantation Tamils are about 4% or 8 lakhs and Sri Lankan Tamils are about 11% or 22 lakhs. (Chennai population is 1 crore).

Let us see the break up of demographics in timeline:

In 1931,

Sinhalese :65%

Indian Plantation Tamils:15%

Sri Lankan Tamils:11%

Moors:5%

Description of who is who and what has happened from 1931 till 2012:

The Sinhalese make up 74.9% (up from 65%) of the population and are concentrated in the densely populated south-west and central parts of the island.

Sri Lankan Tamils (Sri Lankan Natives and Malayalis migrated to Sri Lanka in 12th century, they speak Malayalam and Tamil scripts are used for writing. They alongwith Sinhalese raised the voice in 1960s to drive out Plantation Tamils from Sri Lanka) who live predominantly in the North and East of the island, form the largest minority group remained same from 1931,at 11.1% (according to the 2012 census) of the population.

The Moors descendants of Arab traders that settled in Sri Lanka and married local women, form the third largest ethnic group at 9.3% (up from 5%)of the population.

There are also Indian Tamils who form a distinct ethnic group comprising 4.1% (down from 15% in 1931)of the population.

The British brought them to Sri Lanka in the 19th century as tea and rubber plantation workers, and they remain concentrated in the "tea country" of south-central Sri Lanka.

What is the reason for the decline from 15% to 4%:

In 1960s Sri Lankan Tamils ( Sri Lankan Natives and Malayalis who migrated to Sri Lanka in 12th century. they speak Malayalam and Tamil scripts are used for writing) alongwith Sinhalese raised the voice in 1960s to drive out Tamils from Sri Lanka.

The Indian Tamils of Sri Lanka were considered to be "stateless" and over 300 000 Indian Tamils were deported back to India, due to the agreement between Sri Lanka and India in 1964. Remaining were made Sri Lankan citizens in trenches till 2003.

In a nation of 2 cr population where majority (Sinhalese) cannot take along the minorities and another minority(Sri Lankan Tamils) alongwith majority drive out Tamils and made them stateless.

Majority turned against Minority Sri Lankan Tamils since 1980s is another history and now Sri Lankan Tamils fight with Sinhalese and want a separate nation - Tamil Ealam.
