Tamil Elamists want to REIMPOSE these.
That is why they want POLICE POWERS and other ADMINISTRATIVE POWERS.
We should make use of these caste differences to DIVIDE AND RULE all of them.
This is why putting EPDP (generally lower caste) and upcountry Tamils (Thonda, etc.) ABOVE Valla-alla-la Tamils (TNA) is important. Any change to this set pattern is dangerous.
January 23rd, 2012 at 11:35 pm
I hope all these happen to Rodiyas and other low castes in Sinhala areas.
Tamil Catholic Church always claims it is HIGH caste Vellala but they look like NEGROS.
January 23rd, 2012 at 11:38 pm
S.J.V. Selvanayagam hailed from Parayas (drummers) from Tholpuram. After the conversion to Christianity he became a Vellaala. hahaha
Christian/Catholic church always promoting caste system!
January 24th, 2012 at 2:20 am
Many Low cast Tamils don´t know the the above cast discrimination, Because of Western colonism and
Sinhala Administration. During the war Time many High cast refused to live together with low cast
Tamils in camps. After war many refused to cook foods in the same kitchen. Some areas in Northern
province high cast objected common pipe wells for all cast.
Now in some areas Even lowcast Tamils pay more money than highcast, highcast refuse to sale his land to lowcast
But under Sri Lankan Government anyone can buy a land anywhere. Exception areas where TNA represents.
Why do TNA want more land rights?
January 24th, 2012 at 3:26 am
Thanks writer for your articles about untouchables among the Indian colonial parasites in the island.
Almost all colonial parasites who rode on the back of the British to the island and elsewhere in the British -Indian Empire were high caste.
Vellars from south India; Tamils, Keralayans etc were the first to join the Indian Regiments raised by the British. Vellars and other high caste colonial parasites arrived in the island starting in 1792.
Then or now untouchables in India are not allowed to leave their habitat as they are considered not humans.
So; who are these low caste Tamils and where did they come from?
They definitely did not come from Indian sub continent as lower castes were not allowed to leave their habitats now or then.
So who are these low caste Tamils commonly known as Sakkiliyas in the island. These Sakkiliyas have a lot in common with the Sinhalese as write’s and others listings.
Their features are also similar to the Sinhalese.
They were the Sinhalese who lived before the colonization of the island by the Indian colonial parasites.
If we do not unite and stand up to these Indian colonists and imperialist then that is what is waiting for us; the Sinhalese, Moors, Malays and burghers.
January 24th, 2012 at 3:50 am
Christie,
Your above comment is considerable.
There are “ PANCHAMAR“ among low cast Tamils. They are diveded into 5 Groups according
to the Works they do.
Doby.Barbers,Drummers, Field workers,and Tree Claimbers.
We are in the position to go back to the History to reestablish our relationship.
TAMIL,SINHALA,MUSLIM,or ANOTHER who live in Sri Lanka are Sri Lankans even we Speak any language
or belongs to any religions.
January 24th, 2012 at 10:38 am
Ref:Vellalars of Sri Lanka
FYI, at present All TNA MP’s are low castes no one from vellar or any other higher caste !
(eg: Like Mr Anandasangare said once , Savapeddi seaipavan ( Who make dead body box) , Kuthurai odduravan ( who run horse – Selavan Adkakalanayagam) in parliment Now ).
MR shenali waduge No point in your article about Srilanka Tamil !
January 24th, 2012 at 12:54 pm
If they are low caste, that is still worse. Revoke their citizenship and deport them all Tamil Nado with a one way ticket on a russian deck cargo submarine. They are wanted in Iran now.
January 24th, 2012 at 3:08 pm
It was disgusting to read this presentation. However, I found an interesting revelation to my quest why Lorenzo all the time supported the so called “para-military groups”. This revelation, I quote as above: “That is why putting EPDP (generally lower caste) and upcountry Tamil (Thonda etc) above Vella-La-Caste Tamils (TNA) important. Any change to this set up is dangerous”.
Of all these people who appreciated comments like these, it was a fight “Against the Higher Caste by the Lower Caste”, but NOT “Seperatism” to establish a “Seperate State called ” “Eeelam” – to divide the country.
In the same trend of thinking of Lorenzo, do you think, Velupillai Pirabahakaran, who is from “fisher caste”(though I hate to reffer to) and his Political Wing Leader. S.P.Tamilselvam who belonged to “Barbar” cast and the rest (I don”t know to what caste they belonged to) fought a bloody war for thirty years to bring in a “Low Caste State” against Vella-La -Caste (high caste) Tamils? In the same trend of thinking shouln’d we have supported Velupillai Pirabahakaran in his fight to oust the Vella-La Caste dominance from the North? Very fine dicta. To say the least “what crap are these” thoughts.
Be focussed. We are not fighting a battle on “Caste Issues”. It was a battle against setting up a seperate state called “Eelam”. The seperatists will always join in either way, whether it is cast or otherwise to achieve their ultimate goal “Eelaam”. That is what they did in dictating terms to the TNA in Parliament. This is our battle against a seperate state called “Eealam” and that should be fought with might and power. The mighty heroes of our armed forces fought it with the correct guidence of Political and Military stratagies and let us maintain it for ever and ever.
We have a bigger battle to fight. One to sustain the victory won and the other to fight the on-going battle with the so called “dispora” backed by the Western Powers and the heavily financed NGOs and the Local Agents. This fight has galvanized at the moment with the upcoming UNHCR meetings scheduled in the beginning of February and March. Let us fight it out.

Christie,
“So who are these low caste Tamils commonly known as Sakkiliyas in the island. These Sakkiliyas have a lot in common with the Sinhalese as write’s and others listings.

Not true.
Tamil castes Sakkilayar, Parayar, Paramba, Dhobi are certainly Tamil from Tamil Nadu.
Some of Nalavar and Koviya caste people may have been Sinhalese. Not all some. In Jaffna they are generally fairer in skin color than average Tamils (generally of the African complexion).
January 24th, 2012 at 3:23 pm
Doglas,
“It was disgusting to read this presentation.”
TRUTH hurts, is it not?
You are right on Velu and that Tamil. They were from low castes.
BUT Valla-alla-la caste people elevated them to their own high caste.
Any Tamil who EXCEPTIONALLY serves Valla-alla-la become Valla-alla-la. This caste system is not a physical one. It is a manipulated one to rule some people by others.
Many TAMILS have PROVEN that this “ethnic conflict” is actually a Tamil caste issue. INABILITY to apprehend that is rather unfortunate.
All the governments since SWRD Bandaranayaka manipulated Tamil caste differences to DIVIDE AND RULE. They MUST continue it.
Even if 13th amendment is implemented, Sampanthan dirt will be at most a PROVINCIAL minister. DD and Thonda will be NATIONAL ministers. ALWAYS; whatever the government is – UNP, SLFP, PA, UNF, you name it. So face it without whinging!!
DD and even Karuna (a former terrorist) are WAY BETTER than racist Sampanthan.
January 24th, 2012 at 3:28 pm
Thurai,
“under Sri Lankan Government anyone can buy a land anywhere. Exception areas where TNA represents.
Why do TNA want more land rights?”
Well said!
Indirectly TNA (LTTE) already has land rights. Why they want more?
January 24th, 2012 at 6:54 pm
Lorenzo – It is more desgusting to note how you dodge the question. This is always the casse with you. May I remind you again your statement.
” THIS IS WHY PUTTING EPDP (GENERALLY LOWER CASTE) AND UP-COUNTRY TAMILS (THONDA, ETC) ABOVE VEll-ALL-LA IS IMPORTANT. ANY CHANGE TO THIS IS DANGEROUS”
Is this your philosophy? Please do not bring any more disgrace to Sri Lanka. We are fighting a battle quite different to what you advocate. Let the EPDP leadership too make a note of this. Please don’t confuse this problem any more.
Thank you. THE END.
January 24th, 2012 at 9:02 pm
Dear Doglas,
If I hurt a separatist, I’m on the right track. This is what SL must be doing.
This is why putting EPDP (generally lower caste) and upcountry Tamils (Thonda, etc.) ABOVE Valla-alla-la Tamils (TNA) is important. Any change to this set pattern is dangerous.
ABSOLUTELY!
An utter disgrace to SL as you STILL live in the (false) high caste mentality. That is the root cause of this problem. Nothing else.
Read what Shenali wrote a week before for some information.
1. Suppose 13th amendment is implemented. What will happen? Some clown from TNA will be the Chief Minister of NP. He GOT to be a valla-alla-la. Otherwise all hel will break lose in Jaffna. Shenali gave examples in a previous writing.
But then where would DD and Thonda (plus CWC will have many more ministers) be?
They will ne NATIONAL minister ranking HIGHER ABOVE provincial ministers.
2. Take a look at Pillayan – the CHIEF MINISTER of EP. Not a valla-alla-la. But sits above all TNA and other valla-alla-la leaders who are NOBODYS!
3. Now look at all the governments since 1970 – 2012.
Didn’t EVERY government ELEVATED low caste Tamils above high caste Tamils?
This is the RIGHT srtategy. There is a reason. So called high caste Tamils don’t support Chingalam government COMPARED to low caste Tamils.
This is what we did with Devananda, Chandrakanthan, Muralitharan, Arumugam, Chandrasekaran, Mahendran, Uma Maheswaran, Vardarajah, Pulendran, Sivapalan, Sugumar, Kadirgamar, Pararajasingham and MANY MANY Tamils from the north and the east before, during and after the war.
When Kadir was made the FM some disgusting cursed separatists in sheep’s clothing told government not to divide the Tamil commnity!
When Loganathan was made the peace secretary, some Tamil seperatists “warned” not to divide the Tamil community.
When Tamara Kunanayagam was made the ambasador some pleaded not to confuse the international community on the “Tamil” point of view.
We did JUST that.
If you don’t like this PERPETUAL stratgy of all governments, be my guest!

Your are a genuine Chinghalavan !
No point on starighting dog’s trail ( you know whom i talking about) !
January 25th, 2012 at 3:24 am
//FYI, at present All TNA MP’s are low castes no one from vellar or any other higher caste !//lingamAndy
Deffinitely they (TNA MP´s) never suffered the above mentioned cast discriminations. Like Brahmin
respected by Vellalar for maintaining Temples some other casts also respected and accepted as equal to high cast.
World wide Hindu Temples are under controll of (LTTE ) Vellalar and accepted other casts.
Hindu Temples and Tamil schools are coordinating Tamils to support Terrorism.
Terrorism = Tamils Liberation
Tamil Liberation= Accusing SLG
Accusing SLG= keeping Tamils united
Tamil unity= Propaganda
Propaganda= Hindu and Catholic Temples, Tamil nadu Cinema,Telefon Cart &mobile, Trading
Terrorism=Money
All are for money not for Tamil Liberation
Cast system among Tamils lives
Tamils live with cast discriminations all over the world.
Tamil Liberation is for Terrorism and Money laundering
Tamil must first liberate themself from their own enemies.
Sinhalese or SLG are not enemies of Tamils.

Ref:Take a look at Pillayan – the CHIEF MINISTER of EP. Not a valla-alla-la.- NO
FYI Only, He is not low caste (He is Vellalan)
We both communities have this out of dated castle system related to our out of dated religians.
January 25th, 2012 at 3:55 am
thurai
1 ) Accusing SLG= keeping Tamils united- Agreed
2 ) Tamil must first liberate themself from their own enemies – Agreed
I thing We Tamil choose easy way out instead of fighting to liberate our own enemies than Accusing Chingalavan !
January 25th, 2012 at 1:19 pm
Dear Shenali – This time I did’nt like your presentation. However, it enabled us to locate some of the gang members who are trying to again bring in a clash among the Tamiil community on caste divisions and create a new problem for Sri Lanka. We in Sri Lanka are aware of these groups who are agents of various diaspora ortganizations and are hired to disrupt the peace moves and create new problems on our way to reconciliation and peace. Our Government and the valiant forces led by polictical and military guidence crushed the most ruthless terrorist outfit in the world and we are forging ahead with establishing permanent peace and reconciliation to live and let live as one nation. This we know it is a thorn in the eyes of the “diaspora” and the hired agents, and they have a assigned task of disrupting that process by some means.
So no wonder some of these agents who infiltrate into Government Sectors and a whole host of web sites have taken upon themselves to manupulate the disruptive process and they are performing their duties with diligence and clandestinely posing as saviours of our nation and Sri Lanka. The latest task undertaken by these agents, of course prompted by your presentation, is to bring in a “Caste Divsion” and create a new problem for the Government and the country. We will keep a close watch on these operations now emerged as a “masked operatio”..
However, may I request you, in future, to refrain from giving rise to these problems as presently seen in the society, but alway refer to such as history. I make this request to you as these hawks are waiting for an opportunity to go for the kill.
Thanks for your understanding.
January 25th, 2012 at 2:27 pm
I found the article totally distasteful and not well researched. Unsurprisingly it was written by Shenali.
More titillating than factual.
I thought Michael Roberts wrote a well researched article “Caste in Modern Sri Lanka”
http://thuppahi.wordpress.com/2010/02/23/caste-in-modern-sri-lankan-politics/
If one was looking to go back to the past -Library at Congress provides a good account of the Sri Lankan Caste System
January 25th, 2012 at 2:42 pm
Andy,
He is NOT from vallaallala caste.
LTTE low caste leaders were elevated to high castes by the society.
Anyway he is a Batticaloa Tamil!
That is another difference Shenali and others should look into.
In addition to caste differences Tamils are also divided into LOCATION.
e.g. NO marriage or other interaction is allowed between Jaffna Tamils and Batticaloa Tamils.
NO marriage or other interaction is allowed between Jaffna Tamils and upcountry Tamils.
NO marriage or other interaction is allowed between upcountry Tamils and Batticaloa Tamils.
Governments have successfully EXPLOITED these differences as well.
That was how we managed to PIT northern Tamil controlled TNA against TMVP!
That was how we managed to PIT northern Tamil controlled TULF/TNA against CWC EVEN DURING THE WAR!
There are many unbridgeable cracks in the Tamil society. GOSL MUST exploit these cracks to the maximum.
Divide and rule. It worked so far and it will work in future.
January 25th, 2012 at 2:54 pm
Marco, Doglas,
Don’t show your tiger stripes.
Nothing and NOBODY can prove the above lists (3 lists adding to 50) wrong.
Fight facts with facts. Not insults. If you can’t, it shows your INABILITY.
The main article is a well researched and well written article and what Stanley and I added are also true.
No one can prove these 50 caste discrimination dirt that happens even today, wrong. Accept it.
This was how we won the war. War was won by Tamils against Tamils. Sinhalese alone could NEVER have won the war.
1. Tamil pro-SL leaders were the MOST hated by their community. They did most damage to Tamil nationalism. They are heroes.
e.g. Lakshman Kadirgamar, Loganathan, DD, Karuna, Pillayan, Thondaman – Saumyamoorti and Arumuka, etc.
2. Believe it or not. Army had over 6,000 Tamils in its ranks. NO Valla alla la Tamils. ALL non Valla alla la Tamils.
3. Look at good (pro-SL) Tamil writers.
Dr Rasalingam, Dr Noel Nadeshan, Dr Johnpulle
Are they Valla alla la Tamils?
NO!
Read what they have written AGAINST Tamil caste dirt. Straight from the horse’s mouth. Same thing Shenali has written.
January 25th, 2012 at 3:11 pm
What a load of garbage. Tamils are Tamils or Tigers whether low, medium or high caste. They all know how to tell lies to the westerners and win their sympathy. On the other hand Sinhalayo fighting for power. We all must get together to eradicate Tamil menace before it is too late, wake up fellows. Good Luck!
January 25th, 2012 at 4:27 pm
Lorenzo
He is NOT from vallaallala caste, Anyway he is a Batticaloa Tamil ?
NO marriage or other interaction is allowed between Jaffna Tamils and Batticaloa Tamils- NO
EG: Ramesh ( Batticalo) wife is Soosai’s ( Northern ) Sister ?
Divide and rule. It worked so far and it will work in future- Agreed but for short term ?
January 26th, 2012 at 2:51 am
Dear friends,
I hope we are hier to discuss to reach the way to peacefull life for all in Sri Lanka. We have problems everywhere. If anyone speak about discrimination first he must prove himself. Cast & Regional
discriminations among Sri Lankan Tamils and cast discriminations among Tamilnadu Tamils most Important
than other problem in South Asia.
We have to work together to stop the Dravida voice in Tamilnadu and Tamil Voice in Sri Lanka by politicians to misguide the people and disturb the peace in the Region. To find out the reasons for the present
sitution in Sri Lanka it is necessary to study the History. We can bulit a future by learning from past and present
circumstance only.
If Tamil Childrens in western countries don´t know the real History of Tamils,LTTE, and Pirabakaren,.
they will be always aginst SLG . They are brained washed by LTTE Tamil schools and Probaganda.
Bring the Hostory and expose the truth is Important for better understanding and friendship among communities.
January 26th, 2012 at 4:44 am
Indians are priviledged lot in the former British- Indian now the Indian Empire.
It just happened to be mostly Tamils (Indians in Ceylon (Sri Lannka).
First let us make everyone equal in business, education, professions, land ownership by removimg the priviledges enjoyed by colonial parasites.,
January 26th, 2012 at 12:10 pm
Dear Senali – Though I did not like your presentation, now I realize that it brought out some hidden agenda of Diaspora Agents have in mind. Read and think carefully the following comments:
1. “This is why putting EPDP (Generally lower caste) and Up-Country Tamils (Thonda etc) ABOVE Vella-la-la Tamils (TNA) is important. Any change to this is dangerous.
2. All the Governments since S.W.R.D.Bandaranayaka manipulated caste differences to DIVIDE AND RULE. They MUST continue
3. This is how we won the war. War was won by Tamils against Tamils. Sinhalese alone could NEVER have won the war.”
Just see the picture given to the world at large. The Government manipulated the Tamils of one caste against the other caste and carried out a war to a win. This is how the “Act of GENOCIDE” meaning deliberate murder of a racial or cultural group is being carved out and presented to the International Community by the so called Diaspora and its Agents spread throughout the world.
Din’t I say this: how some of these NGOs, Diaspora and its Agents have infiltrated into Government Sectors and Electronic Media to carry on the next step of taking the Government of Sri Lanka and its key players like the HE, the Secretary of Defence, together with the War Heroes to International Courts on war crime charges. This is same as the letter campaign these agents carried out in Januar 2009, in addressing individual letters titled “SRI Lanka: STOP THE GENOCIDE” to Ms. Navanethem Pillay- the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights. Also, please observe how these comments are endorsed by groups of people giving high ratings, that too to carry the message loud and clear.
To TRUE PATRIOTS OF SRI LANKA:- Please be awake. The war is not over. We have to be together and united to defeat this war as well.
January 26th, 2012 at 12:33 pm
Thurai,
“Cast & Regional discriminations among Sri Lankan Tamils and cast discriminations among Tamilnadu Tamils most Important
than other problem in South Asia.”
Agree with you.
Two further points.
1. Non-Tamils can do little to change this. Tamils must change this.
2. If some castes support separatism more than others, SL should join with the castes that support separatism less.
January 26th, 2012 at 12:37 pm
Some LTTE agents cut and paste Tamilnet logic of GENOCIDE here!
Hilarious.
Anyone with an iota of brain can see there was no Genocide against Tamils by SL.
Those who spread this HATEFUL nonsense should be punished with the SAME punishment Veluapillai suffered.
How they crave to be reminded of the Mulaitivu defeat over and over again. Stateless fools.
January 26th, 2012 at 4:28 pm
Hellow Lorenzo – What was given in 1,2 & 3 are your own words and statements collected from this presentation. NOT CUT AND PASTE FROM TAMIL NET as you try to say and disown responsibility. But I don’t know whether you acted on their behalf. The rest is my well researched observations.
Disgracing another is not a good way to meet the varying opinions. You know what happens when someone takes off his underwear and cover the face.
Dear LingamAndy – I should have taken your advice given on January 25th.
I will catch up with you again. Till then Ayubowan – Vannakkam – Assalama Allkam
January 26th, 2012 at 4:46 pm
Dear Doglas,
Your GENOCIDE claim is a cut and paste from Tamilnet.
Do you think anyone with a brain would even USE such disgusting terms in relation to SL?
Thank you for cut and pasting what I wrote.
Let me reiterate those golden rules.
1. This is why putting EPDP (Generally lower caste) and Up-Country Tamils (Thonda etc) ABOVE Vella-la-la Tamils (TNA) is important. Any change to this is dangerous.
2. All the Governments since S.W.R.D.Bandaranayaka manipulated caste differences to DIVIDE AND RULE. They MUST continue
3. This is how we won the war. War was won by Tamils against Tamils. Sinhalese alone could NEVER have won the war.
And.
1. Tamil pro-SL leaders were the MOST hated by their community. They did most damage to Tamil nationalism. They are heroes.
e.g. Lakshman Kadirgamar, Loganathan, DD, Karuna, Pillayan, Thondaman – Saumyamoorti and Arumuka, etc.
2. Believe it or not. Army had over 6,000 Tamils in its ranks. NO Valla alla la Tamils. ALL non Valla alla la Tamils.
3. Look at good (pro-SL) Tamil writers.
Dr Rasalingam, Dr Noel Nadeshan, Dr Johnpulle
Are they Valla alla la Tamils?
NO!
Read what they have written AGAINST Tamil caste dirt. Straight from the horse’s mouth.
Nice talking to you. I have spoken to LTTE cadres, money collectors and even some terrorists. Opinionated like you, they too are humans after all. Should they be treated like humans? Well, that is a different question altogether.
January 27th, 2012 at 9:07 am
Lorenzo
Should they be treated like humans? – Yes
Lorenzo I do not know you are a Bhuddhist or Christian (Lerenzo potugesh name?) but We both community follow this golden principle – Humans are Humans & They be treated as humans even though they behave inhuman ( Karma)
Lorenzo , We both community are responsble for All thess mess in our Holy land !
I can understand how you sinhala community affected by us ( I do not want put blam to LTTE to skap) whether LTTE or TNA do any think wrong to Sinhales that is Tamil responsibl!
As You have excelant knowly about our (Tamil) society I do not want to explain How We (330,000 peple vanni ) were living last 33 years ! ( not only iVanni all our the world)
Now Time to forget & forgive !
We live together for another 3,500 years !
January 27th, 2012 at 4:34 pm
Lingam Andy,
Why can’t the TNA and the rest of the Tamil people accept the fact that they are one nation Sri Lankan and live and let live with all others as brothers and sisters without a division.
