Dear Mr. Athale, You seem to make a lot of assumptions. You cannot relate the present conflict to the ones that took place in ancient and medieval times. The protagonists then were different from the ones now. You have not considered the demographic evolution in tamil south caused by the advent of dynasties from deccan like vujayanagar etc. The present day "tamilians" have nothing to do with those who lived during the times of cholas and pallavas in the ancient and opre-medieval days.
