Sinhalese vs Tamils
Mass demonstrations that have been carried out by Tamil people all around the world since January, 2009, raises the question in many, what is going on in that part of the world. Although, Sri Lankan conflict is one of the longest running conflicts in the world, it didn’t get much media attention as Palestinian struggle or Tibetan struggle got.

Many people wonder,what could possibly be a problem between two groups of people who looks alike. The one and only thing Sinhalese and Tamil have in common is the skin color. Tamils and Sinhalese are from different ethnic origins happened to live side by side in one geographic area.

Sinhalese speak an Indo-Aryan language called Sinhala. On the other hand, the language of the Tamils, Tamil, is a Dravidian language. When it comes to culinary, Tamils and Sinhalese has their own distinct variant of the common dishes. Sinhalese are predominantly Buddhists and most of the Tamils are Hindus with sizable Christian and Muslim populations..Tamils live traditionally in North and Eastern part of Sri Lanka, Sinhalese live in Southern part of the island.

The vast majority of the Sinhalese live in Sri Lanka, but a significant portion of the Tamil population live in India.
