The Simhala population which is reported to have occupied Lanka is reported to be of North Indian origin which settled in Lanka .The second wave of migration of Arya Chakravarthis is reported to be of Gujarati origins.
Asoka the Great sent the batch of Budhhist clergy to Junagadh and we have the famous Brahmi inscriptions in Gujarat.
The word Simhala is derived from Simha the lion.Only place in India, where lion ever lived and still live is Saurashtra in Gujarat.
Hence I have a hunch that we have Gujaratis , actually Saurashtrians are the Simhalas .
We have a lot of folk stories in Gujarati where there are statements like the Lanka Ni laadi Ane Ghogha No Var, meaning Bride from Lanka and groom from Ghogha in Gujarat.We have a clan of Vaniyas known as Lanka Na Vania.It would be very interesting to know more on this subject from forum hubbers.

  You can argue as much as you want but making such a statement like 'Karuna' is fighting for the freedom of Thamizheezha Thamizhars where he has been joined with ENDP and with Duglas Devananda by Indian RAW and by Sri Lankan Government to weaken the Liberation Movement in Thamizheezham is something any Thamizhans would get angry for. We can't literally do anything about how a Thamizhan got kidnapped by Iraq Extremists. However I think many of us Thamizhans who view this forum would want to say something regarding this even if they don't they would probably have an opinion against that made by so called 'Sri Lankan.'
  
  it should say 'most' on the post above.

  Hey guys
  
  I was just pointing out that no one or no race is good. Basic human nature is to be evil though it is hidden deep under ( no one wants to admit it though ). Natural instinct is to favor your own kind ( even animals look after their own ). All this talk about loving one's own race etc., is very short sighted as everyone is selfish and looking out for his/her own individual interests ( If only one race is living in Sri Lanka they will soon start killing their own kind for some reason such as religion or politics !). Most of the time peace prevails only when two groups realize that both sides stand to lose if they try to eliminate each other.
  take care

  Really Chit, you should become an advisory to the Central Government of India and to the Singhalese. Tell us about you Mr. Chit, where do you live? The fifth dimension? How do you think you are right? You conducted survey on such things? Measured the length of aggressiveness in the human society? Who said there aren't problems. Are you going to use that as a reason to suggest to Thamizhars, Hey look Thamizh people, whats the use fighting for a Country? There will be problem. Ok so let us say all Thamizhans give up on fighting for a Country, the World will be a holy place of peace? USA will spend money on World Poverty? India, China, European Countries and others will conduct research to improve Humans way of life? All languages and communities will gain equal right?
  Yes Mr. Chit, we are made of atoms and the atoms are 99% nothing. You could say we are almost made of nothing. Lets not take Philosophy, let us look at life from the 'view from here,' not from 'there.'

  Hi
  Was amazed to see that U took my view point the wrong way. I wasn't suggesting anything except that war and conflict is the natural order of things and one cannot expect anything less from humans.
  
  As I said, peace prevails not because people are good but because one side realizes that trying to kill the other side off will cause losses that are unaccpetable to themselves.
  
  So let war and bloodshed continue till both sides get tired and limp to the negotiating table.
  
  Once the tamil problem is solved, the Sinhalese can start fighting with the Muslims and the Buddhists with the Christians.
  
  Take it easy.
  
  Chit

  True but not the real true. Peace prevail because LTT military strength grew and so the Sri Lankan Government tried to peace with LTT. Now so called Indian Union is trying to uplift Sri Lanka Military strength along with U.S.A. etc.
  
  Mr. Chit a friend of mine said, "Killing is not a crime," when you lose your conscience then you get killed even in that he said, "you don't die," you'll be leaving the body that you are in. Yes I agree with him. What are we going to do Mr. Chit? Why are we humans? Can you answer that beside saying, we are humans because our energy take such form in this World? Or without saying 'I don't know' and 'No one know' or 'you find out' etc.

  People fight when they are scared. The LTT accepted that. Whose is delaying the Peace process? I hope you didn't watch Chandrika and trusted her words anyway. I do not know everythings but I do know some-things. From what I know, we could avoid much of the violent by understanding each other.
