The Tamil parts of Sri Lanka, should be invited to join India as a new state- the Tamils there will have their new state, their autonomy, join in Indian economic success etc. We will have an extension in our territory and more control of our southern borders. I.e somthing like what the European Union is doing. First, they will need to meet certain criteria, like democracic elected government, a certain level of security etc. One idea on how to solve this.

That is a good idea.
The fact is ,srilanka never belonged to sinhalese and the whole island belongs to tamils and its part of ancient indian kingdom.
The current srilanka was the part of great king of india "RAJA RAJA CHOLA". His first capital is Thanjavur (Tamilnadu- India) and his second capital was ANURADHAPURAM(Srilanka or TAMIL ELLAM).
How come Anuradhapuram be part of srilanka when Tanjore and other chola territories are with tamilnadu?.
We need reclaim the whole srilanka and kick out sinhalese outside the island. Let them go from where they came and occupied the land of CHOLAS (Tamil ELLAM).

DOnt you think that is extreme kicking the Sinhalas. True the Sinhlas have behaved in a very badly and in a genocidal manner towards the Tamil population sinve independence, considering the fact around 50% of teh present day Sinhalas are of very recent Tamil origin many only got Sinhalised during teh European colonial rule due to the forced conversions. However since the last 2300 years when many native Tamils becamd Buddhists and got Sinhalised the south west and the central past have been Sinhala lands and the NOrth and East and large parts of the present districts of Puttalam Chilaw and Negombo have been Tamil land ( however most of these Tamils in Puttalm Chilaw and Negombo have beem forcibly Sinhalised since independence) So let the Sinhalses live inthoer land and the Tamils in thoer land in the North and East. DOnt become bittter and racist like them. IF you do that you are no better than them. Even teh LTTe has not claimed the whole island they have only claimed the Tamil NOrth and East which have always been Tamil since prehistoric times.

contd areas which were just north of Colombo with the neighbouring Sinhala districts, thereby which made it very easy for the Sinhalese to gradually isolate these poor low caste and backward Tamils and assimilate them. Even now when yo go to these areas the older generations eyes light up and they look at you with joy when you speak to them in Tamil. These people are dying of, however thoer grandchildren do not speak a work of Tamil are fully Sinhalised and are virulentley anti Tamil. THey even deny thoer recent Tamil heritage if you jokingly question them on the fluency in the Tami llanguage of their elders and the Tamil ge( housenames) that they have they just mumble or state that their eldershad connections with Tamil workers and businessmen so they learnt Tamil if you queston them further and ask isnt it strange entire villages and towns have elders who are fluent in Tamil and have had unknown business connections with Tamils they just glare at you. Many Sinhlas aristocratic families or almost the entire lot are of sout Indian background. theis why their names end in the wordk Nayake( the Tamil/Telugu Tamil sopeaking Nayakes) MudlaiZ( mudaliar) Pilli( Pillai) Perumma( Perummal) or they have very ancient Chola names like Wickremesinghe, GUnasekera Gunatillke or names ending in Ratanm they state Ratne, These names ae vey common amongst the Jaffan Tamils especially the uppere caste Tamil Protestants. many of these present ruling families are of recent Tamil origin .

Chelvarajan Sethukavalar, your are right! But people dont have that mcuh patience and mind to understand this basic facts.
No other world sect have a poor and shameful history as of socalled sinhalas.
The other important aspects in this which is still not attended by the most is, as many south indian sects from Ezava, billava, ediga 's Ellangai backgroud whom were driven out preiodically from their native soil. Those whom accepted the sinhalization are todays socalled sinhalas.

Are you joking many of these Anti Tamil prgrammes the discriminatory policies and the genocidal campaigns against the native Eelam Tamils of teh NORth and East and the recent orogin Estate Tamils in central Sri lanka are spear heded by these Sinhalese communities and castes which have a very recent South Indian Tamil at times Telugu( these Telugus never identified themselves as Telugus but as Tamils and spoke only Tamil) origin. They mainly migrated from southern TamilNadu and parts of present day Kerala( when Kerala was stil Tamil speaking) around 800 to 100 years ago. They largley occupied and settled in the Northwest Chilaw Puttalam Negomo districts and the entire southern and western littoral. THey were all forcibly converted to Catholism and then many took up to Buddhism in southern and south western littoral and whithin the last 100 to 300 years changed thoer identity from Tamils to Sinhalese. You now find a samll Tamil Hindu island in the Chilaw area wheer the ancient Siva Temple of Munneswaram is. All the rest hve become Sinhlas Buddhists or Catholics. The Tamils around Negombo Chilaw and Puttalam were forcily Sinhalised after Indendence. The southern Sinhlas Cathlic church took an active part in this forced assimilation as most of these Tamils were poor Tamil Catholic fishermen. The British instead of making these areas which were a southern continuity the staounchly Tamil and Catholic Mannar and the southernmost part of the Tamil Jaffna Kngdom lumped all these
