mayooresan said:I Strongly oppose your idea about the Tamils. Even before vijeya came to Sri Lanka Dravidan people lived in This land (nagar, Iyakar). This wikipedia article may be written by Sinhalese... Wat is the evident you have???? Even in the Ramayana story it's says about the Hindu King Ravana of the sri Lanka. The only evidence you have is mahavamsa, which we don't belive in. None of the Sri Lankan Tamils belive in your statement.

Wal Bada said:My dear friend, prove that Dravidians were here before Sinhalese with materialistic evidence!!
You may have heard of Prof Neelakantha Shasthri, greatest of the Tamil historians. He also accepts that Mahavansa to be true. Mahavansa is true not because it is said to be true. cross references to chinese, indian, greek and roman literature just show silmilar records. Raavanaa story is a unproven folk story. Some think that Lankaapura of Raavanaa was a part of India and not SL!
Raavanaa was not a Hindu king. Hinduism started only about 1500 years ago in the Kushna era of India. Vedhas may be 5000 years old. But what parts of vedhas teach is to kill animals for offerings. How it is connected to Hindism which prohibits killing than any other religion? these 5000 year old system is not Hinduism, but called Upanishad and Vaidika religions.
And mahavansa is not the only evidence. Throughout the North East area there are ruins of buddhist shrines, but very little hindu shrines. No hindu shrines are found more than 1000 years old. Even the names of north was changed by tamil surveyers when they were making maps under British.

Then little bit on the medical side. The Tamils in SL are descending fro Sinhalese!!!!!!! mutations of thalassemia gene which is responsible for blood disorder called thalassemia is unique to races. Mutations of Sinhalese differ from that of South Indians. It is similar to that of Bengalis. SL Tamils' mutations are more similar to Sinhalese than South Indians, hence proving that most of Tamils in SL (barring in the hills) are descending from Sinhalese
My dear Mayuresan, tou have been very ignorant and has digested what Tamil nationalists have been teacing you without analysing that. Plese be little careful in presenting these kinds of facts as you will look foolish when somebody challenges you with evidence.

THey are a terrorist group. it mostly consists of inhumans. But you can't say that people who are against this war are people who, as u said, Kadae yanawa 4 da LTTE. No one lives forever!!!!!!. So why ruin the little time we have to live on war?
mayooresan said:Dear all!
As a Tamil guy I have to say my thoughts in this present situation in this country.
You have to admit that once we had a ethnic conflict in this country but now the situation is different. Now no ethnic conflict bcos I'm tamil but I'm in colombo. I feel more safe here than being in Trinco or Jaffna.
When Sri Lanka got independance from British tamil leaders asked for a unitary state not a seperate state, but some sinhala leaders mis used it and did something which can stive the feelings of the Tamils. Till late 70's there were no arm conflict in Sri Lanka only ahimsa protests were hold. Then later on LTTE took the power by beating their opponets.
Till sinhala people feel the problems of the tamil people there will be no solution in this country. bcos LTTE never win the war meanwhile Gov can't fully destroy LTTE.. Thats true.
Please dont' mis understand me..![]()

Ok if Tamils won’t believe “mahavamsa” then what is the history you believe?
Do you say in Sri Lanka Sinhala people have believed one history and Tamil people must believe another one?
So this is way we going to make one country?

chanaka_1987 said:I really don't get why people would have different country histories, though they are living in the same country. You can't really say a country belongs to the people who lived there first. Then america belongs to RED indians.
Many groups of people came to this country because it was in the center of some trading route. But really you can't get evidence from stories like Ramayana. Many people might have come from india because its pretty close. But in the end the main language was sinhala. You coudn't even rule the country if you were'nt sinhala.
sri_lion said:Well.. It's true that nobody wants war! But its also true that there is so much burden the people would take before they really had enough of it?? I mean 25 years!!! Man.... that’s a lot.... its the silver jubilee now for this war!!!
In the past, maybe Sinhalese politicians might have done things that lead to discrimination of Tamil people, but a 25 old war is definitely not the answer. And I'm talking from experience that I have seen Tamil people around the world living in environments even though there are lot of discrimination for them. in an environments where the Tamil students apply for IT courses in govt. universities but they only get Agriculture, why this problem only in SL???
I see few reasons, our country has a Buddhist culture so by nature we tent to give freedom (Buddhism taught how to be democratic long before it was invented), and our politicians are very weak, whole politics SUCKS! for that matter! Tamils must understand that they live in a country where more than 70% is Sinhalese Buddhists and any country works for majority NOT for minority that's the way it is, whether you like it or not! Only thing they can do is to adopt to it, they have done it in rest of the world.. so why not in Sri Lanka??
And as for LTTE.. F**K them.. They are not Tamil people's savior, they are some blood & power thirsty lunatics head by the Praba the "Dick head"!!! I stand by govt. decision to attack, and pls this time DONT STOP!!! until they put down their arms.
I have Tamil friends, I treat them as my buddys because we respect each others differences.. I'm sure all of us can do that, but by hurting the MAJORITY of a country wont help anybodies cause!

sri_lion said:Well.. I gotta say that some who contributed to this thread have come to certain idea of comparing Singapore and Sri Lanka.. Actually this is very funny!
Its true that Singapore is technologically advanced than Sri Lanka and regarded as the technology hub of Asia Pacific, but that's all to it....
When you talk about Sri Lanka, The history of Sri Lanka it self goes beyond 5000 years (lately they have proven that Mr.Paranawithana was wrong, real age of Sri Lankan history is over 5000 years), if you wanna compare Sri Lanka, this puts our nation par with civilizations such as Rome, Egypt etc..!!!
Remember this........ Sri Lanka can one day become Singapore but Singapore can never become Sri Lanka, simply because time doesn’t travel backwards to give them the history and rich culture that we have!
Singapore's billboards maybe in Tamil and its probably their official language.. and that's because their president is Tamil, which is not the case in Sri Lanka, Let me give a tip for people who wondering how to tell a nation's mother tongue and their official languages... Turn to their national anthems in which language the national anthem, that is the official language of that country!
And Mr.mayooresan you say you dont believe "Mahavamsa"? Let me tell you something... Mahavamsa says a King named Dutugamunu was here and in his time Ruwanmali Maha Saya was constructed, and it is indeed there if haven’t noticed!!! so what the book says is already exist! so please don’t question about the history of Sinhalese people or Sri Lanka!! Because it looks Stupid when a graduate from Kelaniya talks like that..instead use your knowledge to investigate "How did Hanuman bought a piece of Himalaya all by himself
"
And one more thing, if you question about how free the Tamils in Sri Lanka look no further than yourself.. You are dare to put your personal info on a public forum and question about the history of Sinhalese, yet you still live well!!! You wouldn’t escape if it was in another country.. That’s how free Sri Lanka is for you!!!
Im sorry guys if this was too lengthy, but I must say what has to be said to protect our nation!
mayooresan said:Don't you know that in Sri Lanka also Tamil is a Official language and Even in India the president is Tamil... But sri Lanka never had a single Tamil president or prime minister.
I said the story bcos it was written long ago and it gives the idea that dravidans presense in this country from the ancient time....
Wat I can say to your evidenceWal Bada said:My dear friend, prove that Dravidians were here before Sinhalese with materialistic evidence!!
