You can choose whatever identity you want - an identity as a tamilian, or as a south indian, or as an indian, or as an asian, or as a hindu (or whatever your religion is, if you have one). But sri lankan tamilians are not Indians, and that was my only point. Being Indian simply means being a citizen of India. No more, no less. What identity you want to assume is upto you.
They may be not -- but they are still Tamils and we hold both our identities dear...One is not more important than other --
And frankly I would probably be more at home abroad with Lankan Tamils than with Punjabis or with Assamese -- just like Punjabis may be more at home with Pakistanis abroad that with south Indians.
