is it the genetic bond.. after all sri lankans say they share gene with bengalis.. lolz.Lol yeah my mate tells me about it all the time, something about a free-house program for displaced Tamils in the north and how they wanted air-conditioning or the like.
I'm going to Colombo again in December for his cousins wedding. It's being held at the Cinnamon Hotel, gonna be one helluva week :3
Re: your last line.
Not to worry, I felt nothing but the most warm of welcomes. My friend's family made me feel like I was a part of their household. Everywhere I went (and I went to a lot of places) I felt right at home.
It's why I get all hot and bothered when people talk about Lankan and Indian animosity. It's so blatantly obvious that it is not the case in reality.
In any case, during civil war, lankans were never beaten up in tamilnadu. Recent incidents of lankan tourists being beaten up might have vitiated the atmosphere a bit.
What I gather from lankans here, they dont just hate south Indians(and their own tamils), they look down upon them as some racially inferior human. That bit is worrying and might come back to trouble lanka.
