It's because the Tamils assimilated well into Sri Lanka, that there aren't any complaints of abuse or colonization .Hence , there aren't any claims for reparations.They didn't stay aloof from the native population as the Brits in India. They weren't colonizers, who quit when their rule ended and left for their native land. Try & read. Analyse & assimilate data. I realize I'm asking for a lot. But you can make an attempt, can't you? Inspite of your lineage. Or Is too much to ask?
Why did you leave out the rest of the article on Elaru in Wikipedia, O'Leary? It didn't suit your agenda, did it?

The Sinhala chronicles are full of praise for Elaru. Show me a single British Governor General who's attracted universal praise among Indians as Elaru did among the Sinhalese chroniclers & we'd talk.
Incidentally, are you aware, that the Sinhalese themselves are an Indian Aryan language speaking ethnic group who landed in Sri Lanka from either the east or the West Coast of India in the 6th-5th century BCE.
See, that's the reason why I've asked you to read up on the subject matter. But such knowledge would be lost on you. Pearls before swine! Potatoes before the Irish!!!
Please refer to the Chalukyas of Badami in the attached article and their conquests in Tamil Nadu - the citadel of the Cholas / Pandyas / Pallavas. As you see, it was in the early 7 th, century CE, preceding the Chola invasions of Karnataka.

We can keep going through all such "conquests" & "colonization" By Indic dynasties in India & abroad and you'd find not one equivalence to what the British swines Subjected India or their other colonies in Asia, Africa or Ireland too.
