Isn't he Ceylonese Tamil rather than Indian?
That community always distances themselves from mainland Indians in the past and were the educated elite cadres of the British colonial civil service. |

QUOTE(bananajoe @ Jul 13 2023, 10:23 AM) I am also ceylonese but for the benefit of all, I am just being inclusive la As far as I know most of the community still make a distinction, at least at the boomer generation level, that they are not Indian. Not sure about younger generation. |
