Sri Lanka Tamils
Posted on July 20th, 2015
By Charles.S.Perera
Tamils came to Sri Lanka as plunderers, treasure hunters, and land grabbers. There were no Tamils in Sri Lanka when Venerable Arahat Mahinda came to Sri Lanka.
To love a country and hold it as one’s motherland one has to be born and bred with a great love and affection to the country into which one was born. If the Tamils talk of dividing the country to set up a separate State, could they be called patriots who love Sri Lanka as their motherland ?
That love for the country comes from the religious and cultural characteristic instilled from the homeland environment. However much the Tamils try to rewrite the history insulting the Sinhala for a Mahavamsa mindset, they cannot go behind the fact that Sri Lanka belonged to the Sinhala and the Tamils were mere adventurers, plunderers, treasure hunters, and land grabbers who came to Sri Lanka and later settled down . The Sinhala love Sri Lanka and would not allow it to be divided.
A woman stole a baby from its mother and claimed it was hers. They were taken to King Solomon. As the kind could not decide who the true mother was he asked the baby be cut into two and divide the two parts between the two women. The woman who stole the baby agreed , but the other woman wailed asking the King not to cut the baby but give it to the other woman. The King knew the true mother and asked the baby to be given to her.
Sinhala the true patriots of Sri Lanka will not allow Sri Lanka or any part of it handed over to the Tamils to allow them to do whatever they want to do with it.
Mahinda Rajapakse re-established Sri Lanka as a Unitary State after Ranil Wickramasinghe had given parts of it to the terrorists under the infamous CFA.
Ranil Wickramasinghe is up to his old tricks again, this time (along with Chandrika the woman who proposed Prabhakaran the terrorists to take over the North to be ruled as he wants for ten years), to allow North to be governed as a separate Tamil territory by the TNA and other Tamil extremists, with the consent of HIS President Sirisena.
Unfortunately for Sri Lanka, even today the Sri Lanka Tamils have not changed that ancient mindset of the plundering Tamils who came from South India to plunder and devastate Sri Lanka and at the extreme settled down without any patriotic love for the place, wanting to make it like the place where they came from.
It is the reason why the Tamils do not have a patriotic affection to an undivided Sri Lanka as it should be if they for a moment consider it their motherland.
Even today they want Sri Lanka divided to satisfy their separatist Tamil ideology. They never worked for the protection and security of Sri Lanka, but instead continued to create danger and insecurity. They showed no gratitude to the Sinhala who accepted them and made every effort to live with them as equals. The Sri Lanka Tamils have no sense of gratitude.
The Sinhala with their inborn sense of generosity and Buddhist love and compassion accepted the Tamils and made every effort to live with them as compatriots sharing their motherland despite their difference . The Tamils never contribute to develop Sri Lanka, constantly taking care to preserve their Tamilness, separate from the Sinhala Community. However much the Tamil racists try to prove that they were a race that existed in Sri Lanka along with the Sinhala or before them, they have not found to date any evidence of such a presence.
They had always tried to find excuses to emphasize their separateness without ever wanting to work together with the Sinhala as compatriots to develop and protect Sri Lanka. Unfortunately it is from these Tamils Sri Lanka need protection.
In 1803 and 1804 invasions of the Kandyan provinces by the British, it was the Sinhala who fought against the invaders paying heavily for their patriotism . After the British occupation in 1817 and 1830 it was again the Sinhala who rebelled against the colonial ruler.
The British took over the land belonging to the Kandyan Sinhala people for the plantation of coffee depriving the dispossessed Sinhala from even working in these plantations.
The British instead hired Indian labour and brought large numbers of Indian Tamils to work in the coffee plantations, and later after the coffee blight, in tea plantation. After the rebellion of the 1830 the Kandyan peasants were stripped of land and made utterly poor and destitute. The rebellions against the colonial ruler; after the Sinhala leaders were crushed by the colonial forces, were unsuccessful as it had been said by Colvin R de Silva that, the rebellions had leaders but no leadership ”.
However, against the colonial presence, or against the terrorists, it had always been the Sinhala who rebelled, or sacrifice their lives to redeem the motherland .
Even in the struggle for Independence it was a few Tamil leaders such as Sir Ponnambalam Ramanathan and Sir Ponnambalam Arunachalam who were with the other predominantly Sinhala leaders. Even Sir Ponnambalam Arunachalam later broke away from the rest of the Sinhala leaders to form the Ceylon Tamil League.
The Tamils wanted to be the majority along with the Sinhala and resisted being a minority community. It was due to that misguided concept that the Tamils in Sri Lanka did not contribute to make Sri Lanka a united nation of Sri Lankans.
But the Sinhala now accused for chauvinism, Sinhala Supremacism, and anti Tamil racism had always accommodated the Tamils no matter whether or not they joined hands with them to fight against the colonial rule or refused to be identified as Sri Lankans along side the Sinhala.
It was hence no surprise the terrorists in Sri Lanka came from amoung the Tamils. The Tamil terrorists were loud and clear about their intention of separation from the Sinhala to set up a separate land of the Tamils.
In Sri Lanka, the Sri Lanka Tamils are not treated differently from the Sinhala. There are no privileges that the Sinhala enjoy different from those enjoyed by the Tamils. The two communities are treated equally in every respect. But yet they are not satisfied wanting to be a race apart claiming a Tamil Land with their own administration.
This ideology of separation is inborn undoubtedly due to a genetic psychological block caused by the presence of a sever inferiority complex. This is undoubtedly because of their Dravidian roots. The Dravidians were chased by superior invading Aryans until they found their niche-the hide out, in the southern most Indian continent- South India .
Hence they cannot feel equal to the Sinhala despite their social status they have acquired through higher education, or wealth they have amassed in business and professional occupations. Not feeling equal to the Sinhala they want to be different by accentuating their Tamilness claiming even a territorial separation from the Sinhala.
A case in point is C.V.Vigneswaran, the present Chief Minister of the Northern Province. He was born in Colombo, educated in Kurunegala, Anuradhapura and Colombo. He had always been in the South with the Sinhala and worked in the south with the Sinhala. His two sons are married to Sinhala women.
But today he is a rabid Tamil racist, demanding a separate territory for Tamils and accusing Government Armed Forces , having forgotten that if not for them there would never have been a North Provincial Council, and he would never have become the Chief Minister.
Vigneswaran has forgotten that for what he is today, he owes so much to the former President Mahinda Rajapakse, which debt he will never able to pay back in this life . But Vigneswaran being of Dravidian origin lacks that sense of human gratitude to say thank you to those who made him what he is today.
These pseudo educated men who occupied respected profession are yet ignorant that in life what is more important is to possess that human nature –the quality of being a human, which is above everything else.
This man Vigneshwaran is the worst of the Sri Lankan Tamils. He was right along a hypocrite living with the Sinhala , growing up with them yet hiding his boiling racist anger against them, profiting from the goodness of his Sinhala colleagues at work, profiting from the friendly generosity of his Sinhala neighbours, eating and socialising with Sinhala relatives of his sons’ wives, wearing a mask of a good gentlemen to hide his real face of the rabid Tamil racist.
How can one trust the Tamil who is your next door neighbour, occupying the desk next to you in office, or running a business along side you, when they are harbouring inside them the racist ideology of separateness, taking care of their Tamilness.
Are there still in Jaffna those Tamils who were held as human shields by the terrorists who risked their lives when the terrorists had planted their heavy artillery amoung them to shoot at the Armed Forces caring least for the danger to their human shield – those innocent Tamil men women and children ?
Have those Tamils if they are still living in the north, and not suffering from amnesia, remember the humanitarian rescue operation (never attempted before by any armed force any where in the world- not even by the armed forces of USA, the pseudo non violator of human rights) carried out by the soldiers of the armed forces to take them to safety ? Have not at least they the duty to show their gratitude for those armed forces by voting for the former President Mahinda Rajapakse ?
Perhaps the 74,454 votes President Mahinda Rajapakse received from the Jaffna Electoral district at the Presidential Election on 8th Januaary, 2015 were the votes cast by some of them.
After the elimination of the terrorists on the 18th May ,2009 Sri Lanka had every reason to be happy as the country was peaceful and security had been established . The Government of the President Mahinda Rajapakse had taken every precaution to avoid a resurgence of terrorism and country was progressing socially and economically. But only problem we had came from the Sri Lanka Tamils.
The peace, and security and fast growing financial stability and development towards a bright and a prosperous future was not enough for the Sri Lanka Tamils , they want more they want their separateness established. And they continue to create trouble accusing the Sri Lanka government and invoking the enemies of Sri Lanka to destabilising the country making the President, the Government, and the Armed Forces pay for eliminating their dear terrorists.
These are the Sri Lanka Tamils with whom the USA insists that we should reconcile threatening to take the Armed Forces of Sri Lanka and the President Mahinda Rajapakse before a tribunal accused for war crimes.
The reconciliation with Sri Lanka Tamils will never happen as the Sri Lanka Tamils do not want any reconciliation with the Sinhala, but they want a separate territory carved out for themselves.
USA open your eyes. Enough of your interference, which continues since terrorism hampering the progress and development of the country. USA has succeeded in a regime change which has been for the worst. Sri Lanka Since the election of the new President has not stopped going back wards losing its sovereignty and getting poorer and soon to be dependent on USA and the West.
That is what USA wanted. But the Sri Lankans at least the Sinhala Buddhists are not naïve and we will not let USA and the West have their way. They will change the trend on the 18 August, 2015 even if USA, UK and India try their best to make Sri Lanka their dependent colony” employing rhe CIA, the MI6 or the RAW.
The Sri Lanka Muslim Community is the other side of the same coin.

Eelam kingdoms exist only in books and www. Nobody has ever seen a brick from those so called kingdoms.
Simply there is no Anuradhapuras, no Polonnaruwa. Also we should not forget the kallathonis who came in thousands in the 60s and settled down in all coastal belts Puttalama to Battlicaloa. Now just 50 years later separate state! Even so called natives of Jaffna been living there for only few hundred years. Oldest building in Jaffna is the old dutch fort. Still they chant this mala eelam mantra and get away with it. Reason for this is
UNPatritotic party (UNP) divide the Sinhalese and make minorities king makers. A lot of Sinhalese (Asinhalese) support this traitor party thinking only poor people and people in villages have to be the supporters of UPFA. That is those Asinhalese’ mentality.
Sinhalese have no rights in their own country while the two sets of foreigners get away with murder. They can do whatever they want, they can get whatever they want. Sinhalese are helpless thanks the UNPatriotic party and these Asinhalese. We hope these Asinhalese at least this time time dump these traitors headed by great central bank robber.
Like the tamils and mussies traitor chief rw get away with murder. Everybody knows he did the central bank robbery. Then everybody knows he was butcher of batalande. In both cases it’s proven beyond anyone’s doubt. There is evidence everywhere. Sad thing is people in Sri Lanka can’t see. Can’t hear. Asinhalese are deaf. Asinhalese are blind. They still vote for these murderous thieves! Can happen only in Sir Lanka. Sagarayak meda amana ratak atha!

I acknowledge every word you said. Vigneswaran was told off by the USA last week to loosen his genoside claim. When Vigneswaran was appointed as a a Judge of the Supreme Court he borrowed the silk from retired Supreme Court Justice Stanley Gunawardene. Vigneswaran during his time as judge of the Supreme Court wore the silk burrowed from a Sinhalese judge. Had he ever showed any gratitude to Sinhala judge? During that time he spent more time in India than in Sri Lanka, Charles you right in saying that Sri Lankan Tamils never contributedto the development in the country.They worship Tamil Nadoo politicians and gods. They only watch Tamil Nadoo T.V.channelsTV. Seperatism is in their blood. Tamils travelling to south by public Transport, they streach their arms and legs and occupy two seats up to Mannar. From Mannar they shrink and let others to occupy the second seat. That is the Tamil mentality. Gamage said this with me. When will they ever learn to live and let live.

Thank you Charles for telling the TRUTH when SO MANY LIES are spread by US backed FALSE RECONCILIATION terrorists.
“Perhaps the 74,454 votes President Mahinda Rajapakse received from the Jaffna Electoral district at the Presidential Election on 8th Januaary, 2015 were the votes cast by some of them.”
They are LOW CASTE voters, EPDP families and other VULNERABLE people. They DID NOT PROFIT from provincial councils. They are a SMALL MINORITY of less than 30%. To target them we need a COLOMBO APPOINTED CHIEF MINISTER for the north, not a north elected CM.

Stanley Perera,
Welcome back to reality.
In SL MOST people don’t tell the truth because it is not POLITICALLY CORRECT to tell the truth. But everyone knows in their hearts the truth.
“Sri Lankan Tamils never contributedto the development in the country.They worship Tamil Nadoo politicians and gods. They only watch Tamil Nadoo T.V.channelsTV. Seperatism is in their blood.”
Tamil Madu TV CONSTANTLY brainwashes Tamils with racism, separatism, evil thoughts about caste, etc. UNTIL Tamil Madu TV is BANNED in SL, Tamils will continue to go against SL.

Hi all,
I shall stop commenting until end of FOOLISH elections created by foolish work of just ONE God. I don’t want to make others suffer because of my action.
May triple gem bless you. May you be happy and peaceful. May no harm come to you. May you attain Nibbaana one day.
Let me go away to wilderness reminding all Buddha’s last words . Appamadena Sampadetha (Strive with diligence).

Two key items are missing from the Article. 1. Jayalalitha. 2. Vikko. Karunanidhi is dead. Believe it or not he is on life support and is fed by intravenously. His kidneys have failed. Obama the Muslim has done lots of harm to SL. He appointed a Indian born Muslim to be the next US ambassador to SL.

Here we go again folks. Indians (Tamils) were brought in by British in 1790 ties to administer the Dutch possessions the coastal areas of the island. Prior to that since the arrival of Portuguese and Dutch there were small numbers of Tamils and other South Indians who came. Before the arrival of Portuguese and the country was all Sinhalese and any Indians who arrived were expelled before they set up their own administration. Read Thotagamuwe Sri Rahula’s Salalihini Sandheshaya and Ceylon Under British Rule by Mills. Tamils are the only.
Charles there are no different breed of Tamils in the world. They are all Tamils whether they are in Fiji to Guyana.

This is what we are saying all along that Tamils do not live here as Sri Lankans or love their land of birth but always dreamed about their homeland within. How much Rajapksa’s or anybody, give these ungrateful Tamils they will follow the leaders who work for separation and division. We have seen enough of these traitors and should not trust them that they will unitedly work with the majority towards a united Lanka.
India cannot be our friend at all. They are the ones who created the Monster Prabakaran. They are the ones who trained and Financed them to fight against the Sri Lankan Govt. They started and gave the terrorists everything they asked for even tried to invade Sri Lanka to help them. So India cannot be our friend at any stage. India is responsible for the current situation too. They interfere too much in our affairs because of the weak Govt of puppet Maru Sira and the western backed Tie coat white sucker Ranil.
We have to fight this time to bring back our great President Mahinda Rajapksa.It’s not an easy thing to do because of western and Indian support to the UNP traitors. Every citizen’s life is in stake because of the troubles looming in the horizon due to too much interference of Foreign Mafia in the election this time. Sinhala people must not allow these UNP traitors to get the power in to their hands because of what they did in 2004 will be repeated if they come back to power. Do not believe their bogus promises. These things they promise will never get in your whole life. A man with 29 defeats cannot be trusted. He will promise sun and the moon but at the end nothing will be given. If MR promise something definitely it will be done as you have already experienced before. He is a man to be trusted. He is a strong,fearless leader we need at this hour therefore do not think twice with one stroke give your valuable vote to this great person to usher a new Lanka for everybody to live in Peace and Harmony.

Tamils must be the dumbest race on earth to continue to believe in their selfish leaders. What have these so called leaders done for them in 67 years since independence? These leaders have portrait them as a most selfish and un patriotic people. They have made no effort to integrate with other communities and always asked for more. This is not only happens in Sri Lanka. They tried this in Uganda, Kenya and Fiji and many got kicked out from those countries. They are better off working with the national political parties.

Sri Lanka Sinhala !
Charles.S.Perera
Please replce Sinhala with Tamil in your article .

Eelara (Eela Raja) to VP our history goes one , no end !!!
live & let’s live until Eelam war V !

I totally agree with everyone.
One way to stop the brainwashing them is as LORENZO SAID
“Tamil Madu TV CONSTANTLY brainwashes Tamils with racism, separatism, evil thoughts about caste, etc. UNTIL Tamil Madu TV is BANNED in SL, Tamils will continue to go against SL.”
we need help them to produce their own music, drama’s and movies while banning the TN rubbish. But to do all these we need MR in the driving seat. Not Ponna Runnil and Grama Sevaka My3.
July 21st, 2015 at 12:45 am
This article should be published in main stream media..
All the Tamil leaders pushing for separatism should read this. Mad man Vigneshwaran will feel shameful.
Nicely supported by Christie in the world’s perspective. I love these comments as they speak what I feel from deep within.
The Sinhala’s have been unfairly treated since Colonial time.. until today..

Grate article. A very good eye opener to educate our Singhalese readers who do know the reality. Although it is hard, we should not give up ”changing” dhemalas by good or bad means. They got to be confronted straight on their face and be told of the facts about what they are. They should be given the clear choices they have. Either put up with it and become Sri Lankan, if not bugger off from our country. This should be the message that every Singhalese should convey to them. There is no other way than being ”firm” with them.
July 21st, 2015 at 9:01 am
my apologies… please read the 2nd line as ”don’t know”.. thanks.
July 21st, 2015 at 9:14 am
They should be given the clear choices- We-Demila know our clear choices !!!

The mistake has been made by Sri Lanka govts. Ever since the Tamil Language was made National & Official, it has been an open invitation for low caste Tamil folk of Tamil Nadu to get to Lanka. There is a belief that Caste is lost by crossing sea water. What better place to lose Caste than go to Lanka where the Tamil language is in place by law, plus free Education and Health Care too ?
Since India is divided into separate states through Language, Lanka GoSL present and future will be forced to do the same to safeguard the country, to keep it undivided and whole, to bring all citizens to be loyal to the country. All the states adjoining Tamil Nadu (Kerala, Karnataka & Andrapradesh) do not allow the proliferation of the Tamil language and thus prevents any ‘take over’ by Tamil Nadu.
Yes, it is a LANGUAGE ISSUE in Lanka that has to be addressed in order to keep the island whole and undivided, plus grow loyalty to the Nation of Lanka and not to outside sources.

Yes, it is a LANGUAGE ISSUE in Lanka- Not agreed if than Why Muslim has problem ??? Almost all Muslim can speck Tamil & Sinhala in Lanka.
