This is not right not priviledge but we do nto receove it.We are not recent immigrants but have been their for thousands of years and around 18.6% of the population and Tamil is the mother tongue of 25% of Sri lankans.We are asking for are just rights and dignity and there is nothing wrong in that this is not a concession and we dont have to assimilate like a microscopic minority. It is not the Tamils who have the problem it is the Sinhaleseit is they who do not want to live in peace and harmony.
