    I was wrong! Sri Lanka is majority Sinhalese not Tamil. Still, the situation is quote different from Brahmin Neo-Nazis in Delhi

    Sri Lanka is not part of the area you’re thinking of. South Indians and Sri Lankans have a completely different language family and ethnicity to North Indians.

        Seems to be Sri Lanka if it didn’t have any Tamils on it?

        Edit: thanks for the correction!
