මම හිතන්නේ නෑ ඕකා සිංහල කියලා, මූ අර මෑන් ලයන් කාරයා තමයි. තව හිටියොත් ලංකාව චාටර් කරයි.

seems like lieterall meanings are different but usage in slang is quite similar.



But the hatred makes it irony

Sinhala people dont hate tamils, Tamils live among Sinhala people in large numbers and Sinhala people have tamil roots. but we have an extreme dislike towards people who meddle in our affairs

What about Muslims in Sri Lanka - Are they well integrated in the society ? And are they predominantly Sinhala or Tamil or do they belong to a different Ethnic Group altogether ?

They mostly belong to Moor and malay ethnicities, some are tamils some are sinhalese (mostly converts). Some are and some are not.

And Mahavamsa is no fairy tale ? Didn't the Buddha too fly over to Lanka as per your fairy tale ?

In some period of history Sinhala people have considered Vibhishana as one of the Four Heavenly Kings. This belief was more prominent in the Kotte period. According to the Ravana Katha of Wickramasinghe Adigar, after the defeat of Ravana, Vibhishana transferred the Yaksha capital from Alakamandawa to Kelaniya. In the 15th century poem of Totagamuwe Sri Rahula, the sælalihini sandesaya, the Myna is ordered to carry the missive to Vibhishana at his temple in Kelaniya. After the 16th century he was replaced as a God of the four warrants by the goddess Pattini. He continues to be worshipped by a diminishing number of adherents, mainly in the Kelaniya area

and your point?
 
It not BS, based on archaeological discovery of three important factors from the Brahmi inscriptions in Sri Lanka, archaeologist have conclusive evidence that the indigenous people of Sri Lanka were Tamils.

The 3 factors are:

(a) System of burial of dead bodies (Urns) at the sites
(b) Brhamic inscriptions
(c) Religious practices and observances

The existence of Dravidian Tamil Brahmic inscriptions in Sri Lanka prior to the introduction of North Indian Brahmic Inscriptions is reasonable and justifiable proof that Tamils were the indigenous people of Sri Lanka, prior to the invention of the Sinhala race by the Mahavamsa fairy tale.

where are these tamil Brahmi inscriptions? The reality is Sinhala people have tamil roots. The ones who used tamil earlier in SL are now sinhalese. I gave a rational migration analysis which you evaded answering. :)

Sinhala is an ancient nation. We accepted and absorbed any immigrants that came to the country at that time and still we do. Sinhala people have bengali roots and tamil roots. No one doubts that. The one who claim Sinhalese are north indian are the eelamists.
The fact is how much they scream the eelamists in SL cant show anything of any value as evidence to their so called tamil kingdom. Lets ditch history, look at the picture in a logical way.
1. Had there was a successful tamil kingdom in SL they surely must have coorperation with TN. In such a case how come a small number of people from North India who came in a boat conquer the great kingdom? That is against rationality.
2. If Sinhalese came later and invaded Tamils how come sinhala people live in the south of SL while tamils live in North? The pattern of invasion would suggest otherwise. The reason Sinhala people dominate the south while tamils live in North is because sinhalese were pushed into the island interior due to invasions.
3. The logistical support in TN would have stopped any north indian settlers dominating the island. Imagine a north indian today go to Tamil Nadu and make it north indian character.
4. Jaffna is the most difficult part in SL to defend. That was the first that will hold onto the hands of enemy as sinhalese, tamils, portugese, dutch learnt with time. So the fact that Tamils hold Jaffna raises questions.
Historically,
1. The reality is there is NO evidence to show strong Hindu culture in SL prior to buddhism. Some hindu practices might have been there, but largely animistic religious practices were prevalent.
2. Sinhala people have written records of histor thousand of years old. The dutch archives, stone inscriptions, history books will show that. Fa hien was a non SL person who lived in SL at that time. Still he hasnt mentioned a strong tamil existance in the island at that time. The tamils who lived in Jaffna was pointed out as pirates.
3. Howmuch eelamists find fault with sinhala people's history when it comes to evidences of history they have none. There isnt a single tamil literature book composed in SL until 18th century. while the sinhala alphebet, sinhala literature works, tradition and everything developed in SL (with indian input).
4. The place names in SL north has sanskrit origins.
what has happened?
The island was inhabited by indigenous people for millenias. from ancient times there have been constant immigration, invasions from different parts of the world (especially india). With time these people formed their own nation and their own identity. That is who sinhala people are. That is why sinhala people have genetic relaionship with almost all parts of india and various other parts in the world.

I understand you cant counter argue facts rationally so try to evade the question pasting emoticons. between the thissamaharama copper plate shows the trade with south india at that time.

In the copper plate there are chinese and persian except tamil, does it mean chinese and iranians were in SL at that time? The bottom line is whenever a rational arguement is put forwards specially when considering the migrational theory you have no place to run.

First every one know th tamil inscriptions in Polonnaruwa after chola invasions in polonnaruwa. Sinhala Brahmi inscriptions are way old and continue from Anuradhapura time. In Tamil nady they have found coins of Sinhala kingdom at that time does that mean Sinhalese were in TN?

wow early Sinhalese were trading with South India ? show me one reference from early South Indian sources mentioning trade with Sri Lanka ?

Inscriptions and Epigraphy - Primordial Language

Tamils have been living in the northern and eastern parts of the island from time immemorial. Several small fragments of pottery with a few Tamil‐Brahmi letters scratched on them have been found from the Jaffna region.

However, a much more sensational discovery is a pottery inscription from an excavation conducted at Tissamaharama on the southeastern coast of Sri Lanka. A fragment of a high‐quality black and red‐ ware flat dish inscribed in Tamil in the Tamil‐Brahmi script was found in the earliest layer. It was provisionally dated to around 200 BCE by German scholars who undertook the excavation. The inscription reads tiraLi muRi, which means “written agreement of the assembly” The inscription bears testimony to the presence in southern Sri Lanka of a local Tamil mercantile community organised in a guild to conductmaritime trade as early as at the close of the 3rd century BCE”.

August 11, Colombo, Sri Lanka Guardian)
The Megalithic Period is datable between c.1300-130 BCE, and included finds of Black and Red Ware and other types of pottery, copper, bronze and iron. Earthenware Pots and pans were used in every day life, and the variations and the changes in shape, form, texture and format over the years is an indication of a peoples’ cultural progression. Because of the presence of undeciphered graffiti in the potsherds, some investigators assign this to a proto-historic period.

The Pennsylvania team has classified the pottery into three types. Type A pottery – the Early Red Ware, had smooth rims of a reddish colour (Roman red). Type B are the traditional Black and Red ware associated with the Megalithic Culture, similar to Mortimer Wheeler’s finds at Brahmagiri and Arikamedu. Type C were thick rimmed, thick bodied and shaped like large jars. These were smooth and devoid of any decorative patterns. The Early Red Ware as well as Black and Red Ware had graffiti marks on their necks (Orton,N. 1995). The structural form of the pottery and the nature of graffiti, a characteristic of the Megalithic Culture, closely resemble the pottery structure and its graffiti from Anuradhapura, Pomparippu, Divulwewa, and Makevitta (Sitrampalam, S.K. 1993:12).

Commenting on the Black and Red Ware, Vimala Begley stated that these resemble the pottery of South Indian Iron Age, and the people of Kantarodai have either descended from the same cultural milieu as the South Indians or had very close cultural contacts with them (Begley,V। 1973).

It stands to reason that a country which is only thirty miles from India and which would have been seen by the Indian fishermen every morning as they sailed out to catch their fish would have been occupied by men who understood how to sail. I suggest that the North of Ceylon was a flourishing settlement centuries before Vijaya was born.”
