They came and settled in the northern parts of Sri Lanka where it is very closer to the south India. Since then, they have been living in harmony with other races such as Sinhalese and Muslims in that region. The second set of settlers were brought to Sri Lanka by the British government to work in their tea plantations hence the new tamil (south indian) settlements in the upcountry (central highland part in Sri Lanka) region. Upto this date, those settlers are living in harmony with other races including a majority of sinhalese and muslims.The first spark of the ethnic conflict was set by some insanely politically blinded & stupid south Indian politicians and their side kicks (mainly tamils) in Sri Lankan parliament. They've had this concept called "greater India" (i've forgotten the charming tamil name for it), and the concept is simply to politically influence/take over the smaller nations around her. The cunning south Indian politicians knew the only way to start a conflict and divide Sri Lanka is by arming the tamil youth. The young tamil generation being naive and innocent started rioting in the northern parts of Sri Lanka thinking the south Indian politicians would deliver the "Promised land". most of the sinhala and tamil politicians in colombo including controversial "Amirthalingam" brushed off the tamil youth activities in Jaffna peninsula as "our boys' silly work". The thing they didnt know was that the "our boys" were growing stronger and stronger everyday..at the end, they have formed LTTE (Liberation TAmil Tigers of Eelam) and the south india lost control over them. Their un-crowned king/leader was Velupillay Prabhakaran. Long story in short, after many civil criminal offences in Sri Lanka's Nothern peninsula, LTTE announced their war against the Sri Lankan government by killing 15 Sri Lankan Army soldiers (by a land mine). Thats sparked a huge outrage amongst the Sinhalese population in Colombo which later on grew in to a massacare of tamils in Colombo, thanks to the fuel added by selfish,opportunistic,spineless politicians. What happened in that 23rd of July 1983 cannot be justified however that shouldnt have been a reason for LTTE to go on a killing spree of innocent children,civillions, buddist priests, catholic priests, muslim muftis, political leaders (including their own supporters in south India eg: Mr. Rajiv Ghandi) and their own tamil people for next 20 years. LTTE's claim is their "own land" (or Tamil EElam) because apperently the tamils in the other parts of Sri Lanka are getting discriminated. The funny fact is that, upto this date, many tamils are living (in harmony) in every single province in Sri Lanka where as sinhalese people are limited only to western and southern parts. Sinhalese community could never live in nothern or eastern parts of sri lanka as either they've been massacared or chased away by the LTTE. so who's getting discriminated here???not to forget all the tamil scholars live in Sri lanka as well as in overseas, who were/are priviledged to study in Sri Lankan government schools and universities. not to forget the tamil business community who are well established in various parts of Colombo (Sri Lanka's capital)...in theory, if a so called "discrimination" is happenning for Tamil (South Indian) community, it shouldnt be in Sri Lanka. of course Sri Lankan government army's fighting against the LTTE rebels, but that dosent mean the Sri Lankan government is discriminating Tamils.In the other hand, there ARE LTTE (or oftenly called as "tamil tigers") supporters out there trying to wipe out the blood stains of the dirty playing tiger. There are communities out there trying to justify the LTTE's brutal killings and destructions. For every single terrorist organisation, there always are supporter. so that dosent make every single tamil a LTTE supporter or a sinhalese a "tamil hater" BUT that is exactly what the LTTE supporting communities trying to show the world.on a final note, after closely monitorring and closely watching the war in Sri Lanka anyone can conclude that this war was created to fulfil one man's dream, that is V. Prabhakaran's, dream of his own pieace of land where he can be the king. Lots of young tamil lives have sacrificed (and will be sacrfised) to fulfill this selfish mans' dreams. and that bloody "Tamil Eelam" dream will remain only as a DREAM...not a reality.</blockquote>
