Welcome doesn’t come into it. They’ve lived there for thousands of years and make up about a fifth of the island’s population. I agree with the Sri Lankan government’s crackdown on the fanatical Tamil tigers, but on the other hand, they have to learn to co-exist.
It wouldn’t have been a problem if the Majority Sinhalese government had implemented federalism as was the case in India instead of unitary government, which is why Tamils haven’t been serious about independence in the South of India like the Tamils have in the North of Sri Lanka...
