Because of the Tamil Tiger terrorists, the Tamil civilians were forced to stay in the areas where the LTTE controlled while all other ethnic populations had to leave within 48 hours. Because of that, Tamils were stuck in the Northern and North-Eastern parts of Sri Lanka, forcing them to hand their family members starting from age of 10.
But after the war when Sri Lankan military defeated the LTTE Tamil Tiger terrorists, all these ethnic populations were able to move back to. So now, almost everywhere you can find Tamils. How to recognize the difference between Sinhalese and Tamil? Sinhalese have a Tan-light brown skin tone while the Tamils have a really dark brown skin tone.
The truth is this and ackd.by UN.
Tamils are living at present in north and east part of sri lanka and also in upcountry like Hatton and nuwara eliya and few are in central province,colombo and suberb. But, now, after 2009, tamil areas north and east are occupied by singalese and singalese army,same as Iraq occupied Kuwait .So,Tamils now are homeless people.
