Especially low country sinhalese caste Salagama.(I’m not sure about karawa and durawa).“The Salagamas trace their roots back to the Coromandel Coast and Malabar Coast of South India, and settled in the southern coastal areas of Sri Lanka.Their ancestors were a weaving community who were known as Saliya. Some Salagamas also have the vasagama or surname "Nambudirige" meaning "of the Nambudiri", indicating a connection to the Brahmin Nambudiri's of Kerala. Like the other coastel castes such as the Karavas and Duravas, the Salagamas migrated to Sri Lanka between 13th to 18th century."source :- <a href="https://www.quora.com/Are-there-any-similarities-between-Sinhalese-Malayali-and-Tulu-people" target="_blank">https://www.quora.com/Are-there-any-similarities-between-Sinhalese-Malayali-and-Tulu-people</a></blockquote>
