Before portuguese came , those Costal places were filled with sinhalese villages it was a part of kingdom of kandy, 90% of socalled sri lankan tamil was Brought here by portuguese , dutch , british to costal aria to work as slave workers time to time from india, for various slave purposes (before they were lower cast tamils in india , sakkiliyar, roddi,.. etc , who later became suicide attackers and were forced to do so by upper cast tamils ) after the massacred of those costal living sinhalese by colonizers then immediately sinhalese villages became tamil villages , after ponnambalam ramathan (also migrated from south india and who didn' t even knew much about ceylon people or culture and british gave him higher possession in government than sinhalese becouse sinhalese were alway fighting for freedom against the british ) became registar general changed those indian tamils Identity as a ceylon tamils and nowadays they says they are oldest here , my advice you to read old ceylon gazettes and what was did by Ponnambalam ramathan and arunachalem🧐 and read old portuguese , dutch colonial records 26 years of civil war was created by british , dutch and portuguese 500 years of colonialism and their slave labours outnumbered native people and disenfranchised the identity of vanni and north-eastern coastal living sinhalese.

The simple answer is Sri Lanka has always been an Independent country, (Not in the British colonial era). In Sri Lankan Written History, even 2500 years ago Sri Lanka was an Independent country.

They're very different countries with different cultural, social and historical norms. Just because they're next to each other they can't be one country.

The majority of Sri Lankans or Sinhalese has a distinct religious, political and cultural background from India due to Buddhist reformations and relationships like in Burma. Sinhalese culture tends towards Southeast Asia because of this. Sinhalese give priority to Buddhism even today, as mentioned in the Constitution of Republic. Historically, Sinhalese kings were Buddhist or atleast patronizers of Buddhism like Nayakkar Kings of Kandy. The King of Sinhalese must be a Buddhist as declared by King Nissankamalla of Polonnaruwa (1187-1196) in his stone inscriptions. The sacred Tooth Relic of Buddha was the symbol of royalty in Sinhalese Kingdoms from the reign of King Sirimeghavanna of Anuradhapura. The person who was in possession of the Tooth Relic was considered as the rightful ruler of the country. Some Kings adopted the name of Tooth Relic as a honour, such as King Dhathappabhuti of Anuradhapura (539-540). These religious and cultural requirements were considered even by the British. When the kingdom of Kandy was captured by British in 1815, they signed to a treaty with Kandyan chiefs at the temple of tooth. This proclamation consisted of 12 clauses including, "The religion of Buddhism is declared inviolable and its rights to be maintained and protected". India and Sri Lanka have deep cultural connections, but Sri Lankan culture is not identical to India. Even the Gods were unable to escape this cultural difference. Buddhahood is the supreme in Sinahalese culture, Gods don't have a bigger role like in India. Very many Gods of South India are worshipped by Sinhalese as well, but with different names and stories. Few examples are shown below; Kannagi as Paththini Amma, Pattani Swami as Gambara deviyo, Murugan as Kataragama deviyo. Sinahlese don't have the same social structure as Indians. Sinhalese caste system is also very simple than that of Indians. Sinhalese society is free from Brahmins. These factors have greatly affected the sovereignty of Sri Lanka apart from the colonial history and its impact.

@user-jt3dw6vv4x

I agree and in an Australia, where I'm from, the cultural connections with Southeast Asians is evident as a result of Buddhism. For example, the big pan-Asian Buddhist temples in Australia attract Sri Lankan, Thai, Malaysian, Vietnamese and other Southeast Asian communities which result in significant overlap like the prevalence of Buddhist monks of different backgrounds living together as well as the celebration of common festivals like the South and Southeast Asian Solar New Year in April. Many Indian and other South Asian groups celebrate this festival too but because most of them are not Buddhists, there is never a chance to celebrate the festival with them and Diwali happens to be more important for them which Sinhalese people do not celebrate. There is definitely cultural interactions with Indians too such as through the South Asian grocery stores but Buddhism is definitely a big difference that separates the Sinhalese and Indian cultures.

@user-jt3dw6vv4x

14 күн бұрын

Also, after travelling to Sri Lanka, I ended up learning and reading that in the past Sri Lankan historians went through a phase where they wanted to focus on Sri Lanka's cultural interactions with Southeast Asia instead because they believed Sri Lankan history was too Indocentric. While no longer Buddhist, the impact of the Malays and Indonesians (Javanese, Ambonese and Balinese) is evident to see in Sri Lankan culture and history such as the Malay invasions of the 13th century as well as the migration of Malays and Indonesians to Sri Lanka during the Dutch colonial era who ended up leaving such a huge mark on Sri Lankan culture, especially its cuisine. I can't imagine Sri Lankan rice and curry without sambal for example, which came with the Javanese settlement. Genetically they left an impact too through the emergence of a Sri Lankan Malay community who speak a local dialect of Malay and the traces of Malay/Indonesian ancestry among the Sinhalese and Moor populations, as discussed by Sri Lankan Malay historians.

@@Average_Coder-xy8qx India roughly translates to all the Hindu majority areas in the subcontinent.

Sri Lanka was not a part of India and never will be 😊

why was even this a question at the first place... its a separate country anyways

Until early 1960's, there was a natural thin strip of land above sea level, linking north of Sri Lanka with the south of India. People could really walk from one land to the other. Sometime in the 1960's, there was a very strong sea storm which flushed / interrupted that thin corridor.

Because? Sri Lanka was established as an independent state after European colonialism. So in other words? The British didn't even want India to be big and powerful. Just like how Pakistan is not part of India after gaining Independence from the British after WW2. And not to mention Religion is still the big problem in the Indian Subcontinent. So there is no way India would get Pakistan and Sri Lanka and other nations in the Subcontinent to join India as one nation.

@worlddata8982

8 күн бұрын

Sri Lanka established as an independent nation far before European colonization. Monarchy was established in Sri Lanka in 6th century BCE. From then, Sri Lanka was ruled by Sinhalese kingdoms. •Kingdom of Thambapanni- 543-437 BCE •Kingdom of Anuradhapura- 437 BCE-1017 CE •Kingdom of Polonnaruwa- 1070-1215 CE •Kingdom of Dambadeniya- 1215-1272 CE •Kingdom of Yapahuwa- 1272-1310 CE •Kingdom of Kurunegala- 1310-1346 CE •Kingdom of Gampola- 1346-1410 CE •Kingdom of Kotte- 1412-1597 CE •Kingdom of Sitawaka- 1521-1593 CE •Kingdom of Kandy- 1469-1815 CE These kingdoms are named after their capital. But actually, Sri Lanka was historically known by names such as 'Sinhala', 'Lanka', 'Thambapanni', etc. Inscriptions of kings and chronicles mostly use 'Sinhala' or 'Lanka'. Also Indian and Chinese sources call Sri Lanka by those names. Persians and Arabs called 'Hindustan' and 'Hind' to India. But They called Sri Lanka as 'Saheelan' and 'Serendib'. Greeks called India as 'Indica'. But They called Sri Lanka as 'Taprobane'. So, Sri Lanka was always an independent nation. Pakistan and Bangladesh probably can join India since they have a common history. India, Bangladesh and Eastern part of Pakistan were parts of same empires like Mauryan, Gupta, Delhi Sultanate, Mughals, British Raj, etc. But other South Asian countries Sri Lanka, Bhutan and Maldives were independent countries in their history. So, We don't want to join India. If We do so, We will become traitors to our country and also to our ancient kings and ancestors who fought for keep sovereignity of our country.

In addition to these, I'd like to add the fact that since around 600 BCE until the British colonists captured the whole island, no foreign nation managed to gain the control of the whole island. Indians, Portuguese and Dutch only managed to capture the parts of the island. There has always been a ruling monarchy of natives that has diligently protected our culture and fought against the invaders. There is a wide range of sources where you can see how Sri Lanka (Which had been referred in various names such as Thambapanni, Serandib and Taprobana) has been always considered as a separate sovereignty, ranging from the ancient writings of Xuanzang, Strabo and Ibn Battuta to more recent accounts from robert Knox, Fernão de Queiroz and Philippus Baldaeus

Even though our country is a small island, as Sri Lankans are really happy being independent❤. We have our own language, culture and natural resources that has been evolved for thousands of years.💯 (We would consider if we are asked to be part of countries like US, Canada, UK, Japan or Australia though 😁)

Tamil as shown in this video is not a historical community in Sri Lanka. In fact, a community called Tamil is a colonial creation. Because ancient Indians did not have linguistic identities but caste identities. Only the Europeans brought linguistic identities to this part of the world. Thanks to british orientalism a community with a linguistic identity called Tamil was created out of disparate caste groups with a mythical history narrative. Therefore Sinhalese and Tamils disagree about the history of the island. And that is the cause of the Sri Lankan conflict.

Majority of the Sri Lankans speak Sinhalese language which only exists in Sri Lanka. They have their own culture and traditions in the island. So, they would never be a part of India.

8:05 - - What is shown on map is not correct, for that moment in time. When "British" India seceded into independent states, it was not "Pakistan" and "Bangladesh", it was only "Pakistan", with West Pakistan (Pakistan of today) and East Pakistan (Bangladesh). About ten years later, that country seceded into Pakistan and Bangladesh, after the latter wanted to be independent and survived a landing of a Pakistani army (from so-called West Pakistan), because it was helped by the Indian Army.

I can speak English, Mandarin, Korean, Japanese, and a little French. If a county was established on culture, ethnic groups and beliefs, countries were going to be the size of Belgium. China, India, Russia and the US are both massive countries with territory and diverse culture. For example, there are nearly 100 different ethnic groups in Russia where people speak common language, Russia, but also speak their own languages to their family members. In China, there is also "Korean Chinese", "Russian Chinese" in its east part. Furthermore, the western part of China shared muslim as the middle Asia. This is also same for India, the northern India and the southern India are different in separate two linguistic groups. The west part is the place for Sikhism.

However, the cultural impact of the "Austronesians" (Malays and Javanese to be specific) on Sri Lanka as a whole is far greater. They contributed a lot to the development of Sri Lankan culture. Sri Lankan culture would be very different if Austronesians never settled in Sri Lanka. I have some Malay ancestry, so I acknowledge the significance of Austronesia.

අඩෝ අඩෝ මේ මරිසි එපා අපි පාඩුවෙ ඉන්නෙ හරිය අරව මේවට අපි අල්ලගන්ට එපා😅

Sri Lanka was never part of India.

Because India is a creation of the British. There never was an India before the British. When the British created India, they did not add Sri Lanka to it. Very simple.

Are you mad? 😂 india name came from river sindhu when greeks came to india they name this land india and for your information during muryan empire gupta empire mughal empire and delhi sultanate India became one political entity. If India never existed how it became 2nd oldest country in the world?

@@jackgoodnight22 I thought srilankans are intelligent 🤣 but it is a myth now, before saying shit at least check information. China name came from sanskrit word cina. Combodia name came from sanskrit word comboj indonesia means indian islands, egypt name came from Greek word egyptos, so china and Greece doesn't exist?? And for your information we never called our land India we called it jambwidwipa / bharat/ aryabart in budhhist text budhha is mentioned as great teacher of jambwidwipa at least you people know these stuffs. And indus river also sitauted in India ladakh area, and before 1947 Pakistan named didn't exist.

@@bg53rockylayek4 First, I'm not Sri Lanka people. Second, chinese never call themself country "china" before the west called them. Same like the word "Korea" which is also the west start to name it to that region. Mention something to you, Ancient "Greece" was called Hellas. Saying Pakistan named didn't exist before 1947 it's like saying Korea didn't exist before 1945. Mughals hit you so hard I guess. And I'm not from Pakistan too.😉

If u know change MAP official map includes PAK in it 😁 lol just joking great video 🌞

Did you know for a brief period, part of India was under Sri Lankan rule during the period of Parakramabahu 1 and Kotte Kingdom.

Better question: why isn’t India apart of Sri Lanka

Why isn’t England 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 part of France 🇫🇷 ? Sri Lanka only country win against England and European countries war. So they came for an agreement of Sri Lankan economy. England didn’t conquer Sri Lanka. Proud to be Strong Sri Lanka man.

Don't worry brother we respect your sovereignty remember indis is not like china if srilanka situated near china they might captured it like tibbet. But you know sinhala people came from odisha that's mean we are brothers

This is completely wrong message and Sri Lanka is not belong to India; SL has own cultural and language which doesn’t excite in India. We respect our own minorities whose move from Indian Tamil.

Sri Lanka isn't part of India primarily because of its distinct cultural, historical, and political identity. Despite geographical proximity and historical connections, Sri Lanka has maintained its independence as a separate nation. Factors such as colonial history, ethnic composition, and geopolitical considerations have also contributed to Sri Lanka's status as a sovereign state separate from India. 🇱🇰
