SL should be part of India
by kumar on Feb 15, 2007 11:51 AM

I fail to understand why SL is not part of India. It was run by the Chola's and more closely related to our mainland history than Andaman or Nicobar. Why was SL or Nepal for that matter run as a different country by the Britain. I think there are stronger arguments to make SL part of India than some of the states or union territories of India. This is something I can never understand.

Didn't the Tamils move there as part of the Chola empire. Just as how people moved from "chennai" to "madurai" (movement within one kingdom). If that is the case, some parts of SL should be part of TN or maybe we should make the whole of SL a state of India.
