I didnt mean the Sri Lankan Tamils of Recent Indian Origin.
I meant diaspora from Tamil Nadu!
They are even much richer than the Eelam Tamil diaspora. Majority of them are medical professionals and business owners in the USA and in UK. They are a well established community than the Sri Lankan Tamils. Now other waves of Indian Tamil professionals are flocking to the west.
In my own experience, I think this Sinhala war against Tamils and the Indian government's step motherly treatment of Tamil Nadu Tamils and their concerns are making them to unite as Tamils more than ever before. Many of them are furious and handsomely contributing to the Tamil cause in Sri Lanka. Many Indian Tamil professionals were charged by the FBI for trying to buy weapons to LTTE in 2006.
