Many Sri Lankan kings invaded each others kingdom many time in the history of Sri Lanka. The Tamils fought along with Duttu Gemunu and Sinhalese fought against Duttu Gemunu and sided with the Tamil king Ellalan.
The Tamil Pandiyas were aligned with Sinhlese and fought against Tamil Cholas.
So in conclusion tamils WERE NOT the first inhabitants. Thanks for clearing that up. All you have said here is that the Sinhalese kings brought in tamil mercenaries (called the TMVP) to infiltrate and fight off the invaders.
the quarrel between the Tamils and Sinhlese were for the territories alone and nothing to do with race or language.
Even after thousands of years it's still the same. Gen.Fonseka wanted nandikadal lagoon but spider pig didn't want to leave it. #:-DD |
