really who told yo that Pirabakaran. Just dont write nonsense. Thesse are rumours spread by anti Tamils, Pirabakaran is a staunch saivite HIndu. Even if he has converted to Chritianity what is the problem. That is his own personal belief in god. This has nothing to do with you or the Tamil struggel in Sri Lanka. The native Eelam Tamils are a very secular people. Hey are predominantly Hindu with a large Chritian minority. They are relgious but are not fanatical. Infact it is very common to see HIndus and Christians within the same family. Marriages between HIndu and Christian families are arranged within caste lines. Unkike India many Protestant Christians amongstthe native Eelam Tamils are from powerful uppercaste families. This started with the Portuguese forcibly converting many mmembers of teh Jafan Royal family to Christianity to teach them a lesson,for murdering 600 Tamil HIndu Paravas in Mannar for converting to Catholism. The Portuguese used this as an excuse to atack the Jaffan Kingdom and destroy over 500 Hindu temples in the Tamil North and East. Unlike the Sinhalese who wil only accept a Sinhlas Buddhist as a leader The native Eelam Tamils have many times elected Tamil Christians as their leaders. This is the reason that bandaranailes Jayawardenes and Wickremesinghes converted form Chrisitianity to Buddhism. Tami leaders like Chelvnayagam,Ponnambalam did no thave to do that. Even if Pirbakarn converted to Christianity it may be an issue to you, but to the people

to whom this realy matters, the native Eelam Tamils are not bothered whether he is a HIndu or a Christian. To them he is just a Tamil leader.

SANJAY, so why you like people dont try to understand that more than half 50% population of socalled sinhalas are Tamils actually.
Historically, the socalled sinhala outsiders whom got settled in the south-western coastline started absorbing tamils in, i.e., making them to forcibly embrace sinhala identity else face discrimination. The Ezava/thiyaa of keralas, billava of tulu region and Ediga of Karanataka are such group of tamils whom were driven out of the island by sinhalas.
To add, sinhala spoken vocubularies upto 35-40% are actually belong to tamils, the socalled sinhala culture, life style to everything is same of native tamils. Even the title 'sinhala' doesnt belong to them.
