Approximately how many years back they migrated ,as per your source?
Plum,
Current north Srilanka is Tamil's land ,where they had kingdom for many centuries . They are not asking new country ..They wanted their original homeland back.
aiyayo Joe naan sonnadhu vera. I am questioning the very concept of 'migrants'. Who is to say who is migrant?Quote:

Joe, if I understand Plum's point I think what he is saying "It does not matter". The claim for a separate land has to less to do with history. The possibility of coexisting peacefully and respectably as equal citizens is what matters. So instead of basing the claim on history (which is dangerous because most principal questions are matters of research that cut both ways), it is more sensible to address based on situation of today.
sariyA Plum ?
PR, adhe dhaan. But it is easy for me to say that sitting here.
Sorry Plum :oops:
Even among tamils ,many thought that Srilankan Tamils went there just few years back and asking a seperate nation .
So I thought you also have same opinion ,but trying to justify their demand.
sorry :)
Joe, I think the key line of thinking i have is so what if you stayed in that land day before yesterday. Today, by circumstance, we are sharing the land. Let's work out a solution where you are happy, I'm happy. This is the duty of both sides.
Joe,
But I think the presence of two "kinds" of Tamils in Sri Lanka is a point that's mostly ignored by Tamil Eelam supporters and social commentators here in TN. Note that I'm not trying to question the "native-ness" of Tamils at all, but I find the difference crucial for wholly different reasons.
equanimus, explain. I am not well conversant with this issue.
