A Self-Defensive Tamil Nationalism
by S.J.Emmanuel- Tamils steadfast in preserving their identity
( February 14, 2015, Frankfurt, Sri Lanka Guardian) Just as the Singhalese have a claim of historical origin on this island, the Tamils too have such a claim. No historian has dared to prove that there were no Tamils on this island before two thousand years. Historically there were Tamils inhabiting the North and East of the island for many centuries and there were Tamil Kings too ruling up to colonial times.
