Nat: Read MJ Akbar in India - The Seige Within. Covers the Tamil movement pretty well. The link you provided is the new secession movement that is probably being encouraged by the Sri Lankan Tamils. Arun

>Thanks for the partial explanation. If you read some of the links in that article, you will see that the concept of India is created by British for administrative purpose and hence there was no country called India to begin with> So why were the explorers such as Vasco De Gama and Columbus searching for a route to India the 15th century? What was Alexander doing at the edge of India in the 4th century BC? Ever heard of a little book called Mahabharata. Or Ramayan. Or somebody called Ashoka. Also more recently Akbar. Shahjahan. Arun
