Srilanka - News And Discussion

Another angle
Prabhakaran was a Karaiyar caste ( naval , fishermen ) and historically
the karaiyar caste also exists in TN and is a sub-set of Maravan caste ( a subset of the martial Thevar caste )
The other tamil militants and TULF was run by velalas

This kind of explains the ruthless elimination of other tamil groups ,
because they were other caste
This also explains the fanatical loyalty of the LTTE, since they were fighting for their caste
Hindus will fight for their caste not their religion

The same karaiyar caste in southern sri lanka is called Karve caste
They converted to buddhism and are considered Sinhalese despite being 100% tamil. The karve have done a lot of anti-tamil atrocities

Again blame the fanatical buddhist monks
It is a religion war, not linguistic war, since the linguistic groups in India dont fight so much

The JVP mainly comes from this Karve caste
The 2 JVP revolts must be considered caste wars against the sinhalese landlord Govigama caste
