Of Course they said and it took 56 years for give them the citizenship .
Sri Lankans were very generous to give them citizenship. No other country would give citizenship to aliens en mass. There are no examples like that in recent history. Still Indians ask us why it took 56 years.
Nope .You are wrong .
Sinhalese didnt like Tamils in the SL history .Tamils was introduced in there by Brits for plantation jobs as labourers .Sinhalese couldnt agree with that .But they didnt do anything massively because of Brits.After independence (then it was Ceylon ) Sinhalese began to show their intolerance against Tamils .I have been read about their genocide atttempts during 60s .But India did intereferd in there .But SL themselves provoked us .
So our GoI supported tamil groups (bad policy).And still it remains as a problem.
What? Even the genetics show Sinhalese to have Tamil genes. Sinhalese respected Tamils when it was due. Sinhalese took Tamil women and gave Sinhalese women to Tamils. Elara was much respected Tamilian by a Sinhalese king. Sinhalese even took Tamils as their own king during the Kandyan era. What are you smoking?
Moreover Sinhalese had no problem with the plantation Tamils. The only issue was how to assimilate them in to Sri Lankan society. I think what you've heard about is the riots in 1958. It was instigated by the Tamils. India did nothing then.
