Sri Lanka, a beautiful tropical island off the southern coast of the Indian subcontinent, famously known as the “Pearl of the Indian Ocean”, is a coveted vacation attraction, and homeland to the oppressed Tamil People.

Some of you may know all about Sri Lanka and many of you may have only heard of this lovely, lush small island shaped like a teardrop in passing, because it did make headline news, chiefly due to the infamous LTTE. Yours truly in effect learned of Sri Lanka barely two years ago, and needless to say, the humanitarian crisis plaguing the minority Tamils is indefensible.

VANNI mainland area of the Northern Province, Sri Lanka. It covers the entirety of Mannar, Mullaitivu and Vavuniya Districts, and most of Kilinochchi District. It has an area of approximately 7,650 km.
