That the Tamil Christians are more vocal and more obvious in the Tamil conflict does not mean that they are pnly supporting the Tamil emancipation. The LTTe or the Tamil movment would not have come to this level without the support of the large Tamil Hindu masses. From the Brahmin to the Dalit. They are the overwhelming majority (depsite all large scale conversions due to predicament most native Tamils find themselves ) and will always be the majority too.( The Portuguese were very brutal and tried all methods to forcibly convert all the Tamils in the North and East to Catholism, they detroyed hundreds of Hindu temples and kileed anyone who did not convert, lots of people fled to India and to independent Vanni, but most pretended to be Catholic and practised Hinduism in secret. They openly reverted to Hinduism when they left around 200 to 300 years later. However theh Eelam Tamils lost a lotby this. They lost their freedom which they never gained, and the entire Tamil western and southern coasts who got forcibly converted to Catholism and later most of them to Buddhism never retruned to the Tamil fold but became Sinhala int 1600s they now make up aroudn 50% of the Sinhlas and are the most anti Eelam Tamil).Most Christians are taught to fight agins injustice strongly. The Tamil Christians are no exception. The native Tamils have been left destitute and the Tamil Chritians know that they are they only ones who can highlight their plight through the international church.
