Srilanka!

In Srilanka there are three groups of people. One Sinhalese, two is Indian origin Tamils and three is Sinhala origin Tamils. These Sinhala origin Tamils are predominantly at Yazh and other northern provinces of Sri lanka. Indian origin Tamils are settled in Eastern province. They have gone there 200 to 250 years back for working in Tea Estates. They were miserably exploited by the Estate owners. They fought against the injustices meted out to them. During their Che guare struggle during late50s saw that Sinhalese and Sinhala-Tamils joined together to quell their protests. After some years our Prime Minister Lal Bhadur Shastri intervened and carved out a settlement called Sirimavo-Shastri agreement. Rest in next.
