The level of quality of this video is incredible. This is only my second video on this channel after watching the Guyana one that was just uploaded. So I'm looking forward to binge watching all of the videos
Hi Alex, I appreciate the nuanced approach to very sensitive subjects. The line "Majority with a minority complex vs minority with a majority complex" was the nail on the head to describe some of the issues here. There are complexities of the long history that make it impossible to convey in a short video but I think you've done an awesome job of summarizing it. Hopefully this will be taken as a point of education for both locals and foreigners to better understand Sri Lanka. Cheers!

This was a well researched, comprehensive video and a very enjoyable watch. I like how you fairly represented multiple theories and viewpoints and I’m very impressed with how informed you are! As a Sri Lankan I’ve noticed people (both Sinhalese and Tamil) get very touchy about their history and origins and get too hung up on the who got here first arguments. Ignore the less than kind comments you get in relation to this and I hope you continue making more educational/informational videos! Keep up the good work!

You should have ‘$ Thanks’ button, mate. You have done an absolute wonderful job with the Sri Lankan series. You deserved to be paid.
I was a 16 year old adoptee in Britain when the civil war broke out. One birth parent was Sri Lankan and the other Scottish. Partly due to British racism I grew up deeply ashamed of my non white "ethnicity" and the civil war made it very uncomfortable to feel any connection to the place. I did visit in 1999 and found the place utterly fascinating but the ethnic situation was - and still is - deeply upsetting to me. There is too much ethnic distrust and chauvinism for me to ever reconcile myself to that aspect of my birth family's heritage. Thanks to a happy accident, I am learning something of my family's history years after having given up on them. Thanks for sharing your experiences.

I was there in 2011, shortly after the end of the Civil War. I never talk about politics in other countries, as being an American......well, I think you understand, but I'll gladly listen and hopefully learn something.. I met Lankans who said everything is the fault of the politicians. I met other Lankans who were very nationalistic about their particular ethnicity. And I met Lankans who were just trying to survive as best they can. And I enjoyed meeting them all. Sri Lanka is beautiful and you bring back many happy memories. Keep going!

Hi Alex, Thanks for presenting a well balanced report. As with most countries, Sri Lanka's history has been influenced by the neighboring countries and commerce over the years. As per the program aired by Neth FM (Radio station in Colombo) and presented by Dr. Raj Somadeva (Unlimited History), the inhabitants of Sri Lanka at the time of Prince Viyaya's arrival can be considered as the original settlers of Sri Lanka who migrated from other regions (possibly going as far back as at a time when Sri Lanka was connected to India). Dr. Somadeva's book "Yakshi" is a good source for tracing the roots and Sri Lankans and identifies archeological evidence to support this narrative. In my view, your presentation is well researched, well balanced and very well done. I hope that you will be able to do similar reports about other countries. Good luck and wish you the best.
Oh our history is a mess.😵😵 still we can't separate mythology from history.😣
More than half of the Sinhalese were Tamil once converted to Buddhism. The rest came from North east india ( present day Bangladesh and Nepal) and Nayakkars from Andhra Pradesh like Raja Pakse family. Tamil nadu once was Buddhist in Sangam period. Ravanan existed 600 years before Vijayan came to Eelam, Ilankai, Lanka. Until recently Sinhalese and Tamils co existed in harmony.

Never. 04:05 Vedda might had a separate language up to certain period in history. But the modern day Vedda language is accepted as a Creole of Sinhalese. 07:17 Well said. 😉👍 11:47 Lord Buddha totally rejected the caste system and said a person becomes noble only by actions not by birth. 💡 So that might be the reason for Sinhalese to forget about the caste system during most of their lives. 19:03 That is NOT Kottu Roti (simply called Kottu nowadays). 🤭 But you correctly described what you were having: Roti with curry on top.

It's amazing how much work you put into understanding the complexity of this subject. Really enjoyed it. But I think castes such as Karava are now being misinterpreted as fishermen's castes even though their roots trace back to Tamil mercenaries who fought for the medieval kingdom of Kotte. Some of them later got Christianized during the Portugues Ceylon and became a part of the Sinhalese Catholic community. There is a [conspiracy] theory among some Karavas that the Farmers' Caste (Govigama) has not historically been prevalent as it is in the Modern day, rather it was used as a political tool to unite Sinhalese Buddhists into one single entity. But it seems like majority of Sinhalese (even some Karavas) started identifying themselves as Govigama Caste in order to achieve higher social status, since the British government started offering prestigious last names and Govigama clan names to the locals. If you look into it, I think it can be useful to understand the ruling class and political families in Sri Lanka. Good Luck!

One example is King Elara, who was favourable by the Sinhalese. Dravidian culture in general has been on the island since ancient times.

Good video overall BUT this video was littered with misinformation especially the ethnicity bit. Most recent comprehensive DNA study based on PARENTAL analysis - An Alu polymorphism analysis by Dr. Mastana S (2007) using Sinhalese, Tamil, Bengali, Gujarati (Patel), and Punjabi as parental populations found the following proportions of genetic contribution: Sinhalese are 72% Odisha/Western Bengali, 12% Gujarati and 16% Tamil. These numbers vary wildly according to caste. There are "Sinhalised" Tamils who in the census are counted as Sinhalese and vice versa as well. Another thing of note is that there is lower Tamil contribution with higher castes similar to Northern India. What you do not know and didn't say in this video is that Sinhalese are not just an ethnicity its also an identity so the caste system here is a huge factor in the way it affects inter population genetic studies like the one done in 2021 which you likely used as a source for your understanding. Those studies don't take into account Sinhalised Tamils and Tamilised Sinhalese who lived in Sinhalese kingdoms and Tamil kingdoms respectively and THIS IS WHY SINHALA ACTS LIKE BOTH A LANGUAGE AND AN ETHNICITY. To reiterate Inter population DNA studies in SL are useless unless you make the distinction of Ethnically Sinhalese vs Sinhalised Tamils and vice versa on top of Ethnically Sinhalese/tamil vs Moors. It is wild that you as a foreigner haven't done even the most basic level of research into this topic before making a video on a foreign country and such a sensitive topic at that..

I suggest that the mercenary soldiers were paid off with both land and life partners. and there is a strong probability that a significant percentage of those who claim to be pure Sinhalese are actually Tamil. On a related note one of the popular creatures in srilanka (Ceylon) is the Chameleon. Ambitious folks have unabashedly have mis-identified themselves when aspiring for high office.

Acruay bro, before vijaya's arrival, they were 4 calns in sri Lanka called yakka, naga, deva and raksha ig. They were called sewhela. And since vijaya is a foreigner, I think he misinterpreted it as sinhala or sew hela must have later turned into sinhala. And he married a yakka girl called kuweni. But since his father's name is also sinha bahu these old historians must have made this legend about sinha bahu's father being a lion man or something because sinh means lion and le means blood.

Actually, Sinhalese didn't come from india, because there is no ethnic group called Sinhala in india. I think almost all of the ethnic groups originated from groups of people mixed with each other. So those new ones cannot be considered as an arrived one from anywhere else. Language of wedda people is not completely different from sinhala, and there were no conflict between sinhalese and weddas. Sinhala caste system is not tough, but there are some discriminations in politics, religion and in marriages. Sinhalales have the most diverse genetic makeup according to an article i read few years ago. Recently Arun Siddharth revealed about tamilized Sinhalese of Jaffna as slaves or low caste people, so that it should be more genetic similarities among two groups.

Utter fantasy BS wtf looool this is like the hindus saying Abraham = Ram. Stop embarrassing us my god man.
The bit about the moors you’ve claimed is actually not correct. The study used to back up this claim is typically Perrera, Galhena and Ranwaka (2021). You should read the actual studies. The authors make several claims that are not supported by the data they themselves present. First off: The entire study is written as if to try and forward the idea that the Sinhalese are Indo-Aryan rather than Dravidian like the Tamils, and yet the data does not agree. (I might add this has historically been an intrinsic part of ideologies around Sinhalese racial superiority, bizarrely, over Tamils in Sri Lanka.) - It shows that Sinhalese are slightly closer genetically to Indo-Aryans than the Tamils but they are still far far closer to the Tamils than to Indo-Aryan groups. This is consistent with the close phenotypic and cultural similarity that is observable between Sinhalese and Tamils today. Also it is well known that linguistic connections don’t always translate to genetic ones. Sinhalese may be an Indo-Aryan language but the Sinhalese of Sri Lanka are genetically largely Dravidian - Now for the moors: first off, there is no data from Arab populations in the study at all to make any discussion about genetic distance relative to Arabs meaningful. There is a shorter distance to Bil Indians for example but drawing claims from this would be irresponsibly negligent without the discriminating inclusion of Arab haplogroups (for example, one possible conclusion could be that Malabar Indians are also genetically Arab due to centuries of close contact and settlement across the Arabian sea. We can’t know either way without also looking at dna from Arabs included in the study.) Thirdly, the data from the study shows peculiar things such as the genetic distance between Sri Lankan moors and the Portuguese or even the Swedes being closer than the distance between moors and Sinhalese or Tamils - obviously you wouldn’t claim that the moors are then Swedish ! So in summary the study authors are advancing some rather strange ideologically-motivated conclusions that are glaringly contradicted by the data. The standards of scholarship at least in this field in Sri Lanka seem to be rather lax. If the study is tl;dr for you here is a link to the summary: the MDS plot showing genetic distances between the groups in the study data: www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8211843/figure/Fig3/?report=objectonly

LOL The PEER REVIEWED STUDY IS RIGHT You are using 1 Genetic drift chart between INTER Sri Lanka populations within the wider study/source you provided to judge Ancestry of Sinhalese population. Actual parental studies by Dr Mastana from 2007 clearly show Parental ancestry of Sinhalese being 72% western Bengali, 12% Gujarati and 16% Dravidian. Sinhalese are also R1a Haplogroup positive at a higher rate than people around this southern region. SL tamils and Sinhalese are MUCH closer related than Sinhalese to Indian tamils because Sinhalese isnt only an ethnicity its also a state identity. Sinhalese have castes which include Sinhalised tamils. SL tamil groups also have Tamilised Sinhalese who used to live in those regions prior to Chola invasions I'm pretty sure SL tamils even have a certain caste which is basically Tamilised Sinhalese who lived with them over the years. Compare DNA of Sinhalese with Indian Tamils. That will show you the real picture you so desperately try to avoid.

As someone who had lived in Sri Lanka, let me clear some stuff up... The Indian Tamils... are not Tamils. They were shipped in from Kerala by the British as indentured laborers, and are ethnic Malayalis (culturally similar to Tamils, but are a separate bunch, and speak a mutually intelligible language). Which explains why they have no solidarity with Sri Lankan Tamils. The same thing about Sri Lankan Malays... they were shipped in from Indonesia by the Dutch as slaves, and were ethnic Javanese (culturally similar to Malays, but are a separate bunch, and speak a mutually intelligible language). The British deliberately mislabelled the Malayalis as Indian Tamils, and the Javanese as Malays because they wanted to keep things simple. Fun fact: The Sri Lankan word for Sri Lankan 'Malays' is 'Ja'.

@@AlexRothman Yes, it is 100% factual. The reason is simple, no one really gives a sh*t about the Sri Lankan Malayalis, so no one is going to bother fixing that misnomenclature. If you have time, research their dialect, and where they originate from... the coast of Malabar, which is in Kerela, where the Malayalis live. The broader relationship between Tamils and Malayalis is similar to the relationship between Russians and Ukrainians. The Tamils like the Russians claim that the other is simply a subset of them. When the Sri Lankan civil war kicked off, the Tamil separatists tried to encourage the Plantation Malayalis to join the cause, and even promised them an independent 'Malaynadu' (which literally translate to Malayali Land) in central Sri Lanka where the tea plantations are... The Plantation Malayalis did not join them. For political purposes, Sri Lankan Tamils label the plantation Malayalis as 'Tamils, all the other ethnic groups in Sri Lanka either don't know, or don't care... kind of like how the Pennsylvania Dutch were not actually 'Dutch', but were German.

I forgot to add, my grandfather was a tea-planter in Ceylon (Colonial Sri Lanka). he knew a lot about the various ethnic groups in Sri Lanka, especially about Tamils, Burghers and 'Malays'. Colonial Sri Lankan had been a tiered society with the English at the top, the rest of the Britons next, Burghers (mixed-race), Malays, Sri Lankan Tamils, then those easiest to control in various parts of the hierarchy, with the Sinhalese Buddhist majority right at the bottom. It was classic divide and rule, uplift the minorities, suppress the majority... The groups the colonial administration favoured, were the same groups my grandfather interacted with the most. He actually spoke a little Malayali, and his Malayali language proficiency was better than his Sinhala language skills. He also had a Burgher mistress, an English-speaking Sinhalese Christian secretary, and two 'Malay' maidservants... and yes, he stuck his dik in all of them... the plantation was crawling with his bastards...

@@AlexRothman Yes, you will actually get a flavour of what things were like by talking to people, especially older people. Just remember, that nowadays many plantation Tamils have been thoroughly 'Tamilized' culturally, and might be unaware that they are descended from Malayalis. Also if you find a Sri Lankan Malay (you probably won't, they have been completely absorbed into the Sri Lankan Moor group), he/she will most likely deny that they were descended from slaves, and will claim that they used to be kings... but then again, who would be thrilled to descend from slaves?

Tamil trader's came here 200bce and settled in jaffna. Ancestors of Sinhalese came here around 500bce. So actually Tamils came here 1st. But sinhalese mixed with original people who own the island and Indians. Sinhalese 1st called sigh+hela=singhela later became sinhala. Sigha= lion. hela= people who originally own the this island. There are 4 type of hela tribes Yakka,Naga,dewa,raksha. Naga people lived jaffana aria so they got mixed with Indian Tamil traders. That's why Srilankan tamil little different then indian Tamils. Yakka tribe was the majority who mostly mixed with north indians. That's why sinhalese are the majority coz yakka tribe was the majority

Well made document. However, there are some corrections. Eelam tamils are indegenious to Srilanka, living more than 5000 years. All the archealogical evidences are destroyed by the present Sinhalese govt, to hide the tamils history. Previously, there was a land bridge connecting Danuskodi, Tamil Nadu, with Mannar of Srilanka few thousand years back. Even now it is a shallow water. Also the muslims speak tamil as their mother tongue, they will integrate well as one tamil community in the future.

The fact that you have presented here as Sinhalese have come to island from north part of India totally wrong. If it is correct, then probably this community could be found today in India like tamils in south Indian region.That means they are native only to Sri Lankan soil & you cannot find them in any other country as traditional settlers.According to historians,there may be a group of north Indian migrants had been footed in the island before 25 centuries and may have lead to form a new Race by mixing with the local tribes.(Yakka,Deva,Naaga & Raksha) But Tamils different, as they could find in Malaysia, south Africa, Singapore,Mauritius,Indonesia & so on, other than in Tamil nadu in south India.They are one of the biggest diaspora community dispersed all over the world today.

To be fair. You need to look at the tamil areas from pre civil war period previous to 1956, 1979, 1983 riots and the subsequent civil war. At that time norrh, east and puthalam area was majorityly Tamil. You have to go to british time censor for these. So tamils and dravidians lived undisturbed. For thousands of years. So, making an assumption after post civil war scenario is not accurate. Because, Tamils have moved out of these areas in millions. It is estimated the current population of srilankan Tamils living outside srilanka all over the international countries are around 3.5 million. Which is more than the population in srilanka. Also, Minority Tamils in the north controlled 2/5 of the srilankan area. Also you touched upon cast system. Tamils in srilanka are indeed modern as most of them are educated in british or american mission schools etc. So Tamil hindus as any other modern groups do not follow cast system regidly and they are modern. But indeed poverty and war makes the affected people look like they have been affected by cast system!!. But truly believe me cast system is disappearing.
The talk about south and north Indian languages is not correct
The greatest leader of Sri Lanka were Srimavo Bandaranaike, Chandrika Bandaranaike and Mahindha Rajapaksa. They ruled us very well. They loved Tamil people very much. I am an Indian tamil and also I love these leaders.

Dear Sir, your explanation about Sri Lanka is good except the facts about origin of different ethnic groups. Truth Native people - Abo-origins Most of countries have people of origin. Australia, USA have aboorins and still the generations continue. So in Sri Lanka. Abo-origins speak a language similar to Sinhalise. Sinhalese - as per the ancient written histry of Sri Lanka, Sinhalise people came from North India. They speak Sinhala language. Singhala language was derieved from Sanscrit later Pali. Sinhalise people came with a king from India. His name was Wijaya. There were three tribes lived in Sri Lanka then. Sinhalise king married a tribal Queen for establishing his kingdom. Later Wijaya gave up the marrage and married to a Sinhalise among his family. Origin of the Sinhalise in Sri Lanka is about 2500 years ago. Before Sinhalise kindom, there was a powerful kingdom and powerful King was in Sri Lanka. Sinhalise beleive that Sinhalise mixed with this people and became one Sinhala ethenic group. The powerful King and the kindom which was in Sri Lanka in Indian history. The powerful king's name was Rawana. according to the history King Rawana possesed a flying ogject in a peacock shape. Kings in India never liked to go in to battle with Him because Rawana is extreemly powerful. Once King Rawana went to India and abducted a queen and brought to Sri Lanka. Rawana kept the queen hidden in Sri Lanka. Her name was Sitha. Sitha was the wife of King rama in India. King Rama could not come to rescue the queen because king Rawana was very powerful. He engaged king Rama and Queen Sitha's pet monkey for this purpose. The monkey came to Sri Lanka and found the place where queen was kept. Monkey set fire to the king Rawana's city by carrying fre tighten to the edge of it's tail. While people were on uproar and trying to turn down the fire, monkey managed to rescue the queen and brought to her to ibdia in a secret way. The Hindu relegion is based on this story. The day the queen was rescued and came to India, people of India celibrated with joy by lighting lamps. Now this celibration is called Deepawali. Sri Lanka and Idia has been two different coubtries. Sri Lanka never been a part of India or never been under Indian kingdom. Mostly Indian kings had friendly relatiinship with Sri Lankan kings. There were occations of battles and invaders from India but they never succeeded. During the King Ashoka's period, King Ashoka of India concured all the coubtris around the region except Sri Lanka because of the friendship that Ashoka was having with King of SriLanka, king Thissa. Sri Lanka became a Budhist country because of King Ashok of India. Sri Lankan kings dominated the Sri Lankan Sinhalise kingdom for thousands of years. There had been wars and temprory defeets recorded. According to history, In few occations Sinhala kingdoms were ruled by Tamil kings for very short periods of times. Those kings could not last long. Last king was a Tamil king. He became king in unlawful manner. One king before the last king married an south Indian queen. Her brother came to live in Sri Lanka in kings palace. Queen planned to make his brother the king. Queen got friendly with one of a powerful officials of the king. Queen ploted to kill the king by this offucial with a primise to marry the official and make him the king. King was killed queen made her brother the king. This brother of queen could not read or write Sinhala. He taxed people heaveyley and took wealth to India. People became very agree with the king. Queen's brother became a cruel king to the Sinhalise people. At this time the britishes were in the country trying to capture the Sinhalise kibgdom. Thy made multiple attempts and batteled but was not successful. It came to a situation sinhalise peoole could not tolarate the wicked king ruling. All offucials and people helped british to capture the king of Sinhaluse.

You seem be saying, tamils came to srilanka, when the Chola empire roughly 1500 years ago. That is not correct. All around srilanka. Hindu temples are located- whether south or North of srilanka. Though most are in ruins. Due to Tamil population ratio reduction.! This does not meant to be dis respect good singalease people. Tamils and Singalease helped each other all around recent history. All major wars in srilanka are won using tamil help all around the history.
Hindi has more in common with European languages than Tamil 😂🤣🤣. The white man still fails to learn. There are more common words in Tamil which are of Sanskritam origin. Sinahlese and Tamils are going to be in Srilanka forever. The veddas are the original people of Sri Lanka. Sinhalese are more like the eastern Indian state of Orissa. Oriya script of Odisha is very similar Sinhala script. One of the major ethnic groups of the Indian state Kerala called Ezhavas is said to have come from Ezham I. E Srilanka. So migration was continuous and multi directional. I would call India and Srilanka as Sister nations.
