The native Eelam Tamils did not go from India for the 18th century . They have been living in The country for thousands of years and have been ruling themselves for most of teh times. these was no country called( Ceylon) SRI Lanka. This was a country created by the British for administrative convenience in the 1830s. After capturing the Sinhalese kingdom of Kandy and the Tamil chiefdom of Vanni in the 1820s. The Kandyan convention which was signed by the so called Sinhlas King and the Kandyan Sinhlas aristocrats was signed in English and Tamil with only one Sinhlas aristocrat signing it in Singhala. As the these nominally Sinhlas kings were actually the Tamil/Telugu Nayakas and only spoke Tamil and many of these so called Kandyan Sinhlas aristocrats were actually South Indian Tamil Nayakas and their home language was Tamil. They are the ancestors of Mrs Bandaranaike,J.R Jayawardene.Ranil Wickremesinghe, Chandrika Kumaratunge and Mahinda Rajapakse's wife. It is an irony the descendants of these recent South Indian Tamil speaking Nayakas are leading the antiTamil genocide against teh native Eelam Tamils of the North and East who had lived there for thousands of years, In the name of Sinhala and Buddhism. The British brought in aroudn a million Tamils as indentured labourers from the mid 19th century. These people live in the central highlands and have nothing to do with the native Eeelam Tamils of the north and east who involved in this conflict.
