Kumari,
secondly, people must be educated about possible flues at raeliways.
Whatever it is, I suggest they should educate engine drivers and rail guards of this menace....
BTW what is it??

Rick, Wimal,
Sinhalese also migrants to Sri Lanka from North India,
This is pure bull. Which North Indian state did Sinhalese come from? Sinhala Nadu? :-))
Do they speak Sinhala today(as Tamil Naduans speak Tamil?)
Vijayans were not SINHALESE. SINHALESE is the native race evolved in Sri Lanka by assimilating local as well as migrant peoples.
How did you come to Sri Lanka with surpassing Tamil Nadu.
Sinhalese DID NOT COME to Sri lanka -- Sinhalese evolved in Sri Lanka.
SINHALESE evolved in Sri Lanka in the same way Tamils evolved in Tamil Nadu. Tamil Nadu is Tamil Homeland as much as Sinhale (Sri Lanka) is
SINHALESE homeland.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Look at the logic below. It certainly qualifies for the STUPIDEST argument of the year.
At least there is a fact that Sri Lanka is only 20 miles away from Tamil Nadu, and when Tamil Nadu is populated solely with Tamils, how come Sri Lanka is not a Tamil home land.
Mister, is there any logic what so ever in this? :-))
Pondicherry, Kerala, Karnataka and Andhra Pradesh are all within 20 miles away from Tamil Nadu, so your fabulous logic says these states are also TAMIL HOME LANDS :-)))

Rick, Wimal.
A friendly advise to you.
Don't get excited and come to wrong conclusions if you don't see my responses in timely fashion or not at all.
Your logic is nothing to new; The historians have hundredes of times debunked the arguments you two put up to claim false historical roots for Tamils. I am only quoting them to refute your already debunked logic and make fun of you :-)
Leave the history alone; it is not in your favour at all.
No historians accept the mythical Tamil homeland that is said to have existed in Sri Lanka; it only exists in pro-LTTE web sites like Tamil Canadian ;-)
Mister, Prof Karthigesu Indrapala, a Jaffna Tamil himself conclusively proved that;
There were no permanent Tamil settelements in Sri Lanka prior to 12th Century AD
Earliest book written by Sri Lankan Tamils was written as late as in the 18th Century :-))
So much so for your Home land :-))

My dear Gamarala,
Your language is very familiar except that the approach seems slightly diffrent. Anyhow that is not the issue.
One side of your arguement that Sinhalese did not migrate from the North is true and the other part is a half-truth. You should apply the same concept to the Tamils too.
TMIL too was also a native race evolved in Sri Lanka by assimilating local as well as migrant peoples.
However, due to continuous migration as a result of Chola and other invasions there was no evolved language but Tamil of South India.
However, it is true that North-east being more closer to Tamil nadu the migration continued. It is no secret that Prakrit/Pali influence on Sinhalese is much more than the reverse in the evolved language. That refutes the assimilation theory that the migrants were assimilated into the native population if you look at only the language part. However, the truth is that the Prakrit/Pali languages were much more developed than the orginal language Hela/Elu even though the numerical strength of the migrants were low. That is why the evolved language had a higher inluence of Prakrit/Pali. However, Tamil having been already well-developed when Prakrit/pali arrived, it could not dislodged Tamil which had influenced the North-East in the same manner.
The North-east acted as a buffer too between Tamil nadu and the rest of Sri lanka thus saving the evolved Sinhalese language too becoming Tamil. Similar thing happend in South India where Andhra and Karnataka acting as buffer thus saving Tamil from Prakrit. In the process those languages ( Telugu & Kannada) becoming more influenced by Prakrit. That is why one would see the similarity in scripts between Sinhalese & Telugu/Kannada.
What you quoted from Prof. Indrapala is not from his book but from his doctoral thesis done in 1965. However, you should also quote what he said in addition to that. He said that he made that comment based on the evidence he had at that time. He also said that very little archelogical reaserach hade been done and therefore the more have to be done to be conclusive.
Having said that why don't you quote from his recent book too, which incorporates research done by him and many other scholars since 1965.
If you have no access to his book I will do it for you!!

Kula:
whatsoever the situation, you approach related to Tamil issues in Sri Lanka is wrong.
You must sopport democratic apprioach with a strong leadership among Tamils but not a terrorirst and arrogant type approach. |

Rick/Wimal/kula:

I support the above facts as with our obsewrvation that lack of historical evidence for existence of Tamils in North-East.
There is neither Hindu no buddhist cultural things can be seen (temple, or kowil ) no any stature or coinds were found no any cities were devloped. As sinhalese kings made such lots of stuff close to N_E (Polonnnaruwa, anuradhpura), if Tamil civilization has begun in that area, they should also do the same. Atleast they could follow sinhalese kings.
I wonder why such development cannot be seen.
So, I support the fact in above statement. |

In his latest work, Karthigesu Indrapala said Tamils DID NOT even have a separate IDENTITY until 12 CAD. This is a slap on the faces of Tamil separatists who dream about 'Tamil Kingdom'.
However, due to continuous migration as a result of Chola and other invasions there was no evolved language but Tamil of South India.
Mr Kula, we are not taking about people or blood-lines that are native to Sri Lanka. We talk about cultures that are native to Sri Lanka.
SINHALA speaking SINHALESE is a culture that evolved in Sri Lanka.
TAMIL speaking TAMILS is a culture that evolved in Tamil Nadu and MIGRATED to Sri Lanka later. Due to migrations, TAMIL language and culture was introduced to SL, and this is evident after 12 CAD.
This is same as French native to France and Italians native to Italy and Germans native to Germany. These people may have same blood lines, but that does
not make Italians having homelands in Germany or France.
