The tamil sovereignty were extended to the north and the eas partst of the srilanka that is a about 5 centuries ago. They had a strong kingdom for the many centuries, and kept the relationship with the Indian kings who ruled , The “mahavamsa” which is the singala historical-book , accepts that clearly.
Srilanka had been under the colonist for about 5 centuries, The Jaffna Kingdom was captured by the Portuguese when the king of Jaffna was defeated in 1619. The Portuguese ruled the Jaffna Kingdom from 1619 to 1658. The Dutch who captured the Jaffna Kingdom from the Portuguese ruled till 1795 and the British until 1948.
They made the historical mistake when they left from the country, they had given the power of state to entirely to the singaleese. Tamils discriminated by them, that was the foundation for the entire problems now going on in Srilanka.
