The Sinhalese people originated from a princess of Kalinga (present-day Orissa and Andhra Pradesh in India) who married a lion and later married her brother, giving birth to 32 children including Vijaya and Sumitha. Vijaya and his soldiers started terrorism in their kingdom and were exiled to an island known as Lanka (present-day Sri Lanka). There, Vijaya married a Tamil princess named Kuveni and their children became the early Sinhalese people. Kuveni was later killed by the people after being banished by Vijaya. Over time, the Sinhalese captured control from the Tamils and the population of Tamils decreased while Sinhalese increased, leading

The lost of tamil kingd0 m
The Tamil people originated in South India and Sri Lanka over 200,000 years ago according to a Tamil dictionary project. Their language spread throughout areas of South and Southeast Asia. Tamil accounts describe a now submerged continent called Kumari Kandam that was the original homeland for Tamils. Archaeological evidence from sites in Tamil Nadu and Sri Lanka suggests human settlements dating back hundreds of thousands of years, supporting Tamil oral histories of ancient civilizations in the region. Geological features like Adam's Bridge between India and Sri Lanka also confirm connections between the areas in ancient times described in Hindu and Tamil legends.

1. “Funny boy”:
What are some of the ways Arjie is “funny”? We understand that the word is not meant to describe someone who makes us laugh. If anything, Arjie’s homosexuality is far from “funny”; it is a very serious matter indeed. Yet, if we were to explore the word further, we would see that there are ways in which Arjie’s being different, “odd,” uniquely equips him to tell the story of the novel. For instance, because he would rather be home-bound, Arjie’s closeness with his mother and Radha Aunty allows him access to their inner thoughts. The author alludes indirectly to this unique capacity of Arjie’s when he chooses the uncle’s carelessly cruel words as the novel’s title. How is Arjie’s being “funny” an effective way for Selvadurai to tell his story? How is Arjie’s homosexuality an effective lens through which the larger story of the family, the community, and the country may be narrated?
2. Ethnic conflict:
How do the national politics, in particular, the ethnic conflict and riots between the Tamils and the Sinhalese (see Background on Sri Lanka) play out in the novel? Draw upon three examples in the text to illustrate ways in which the larger tensions of the nation are encapsulated in the local interactions, especially to do with love and marriage, between the characters. One of your examples must derive from the chapter “The Best School of All.”
3. Gender:
In the first chapter, “Pigs Can’t Fly,” the young Arjie’s fondness for dressing as the bride comes into direct conflict with his cousin’s, “Her Fatness.” There is much in this chapter about gender construction and gender roles. For instance, the grandparents’ house has clearly marked boundaries f.

Sri lankan civil war
The Sri Lankan Civil War originated from tensions between the Sinhalese majority and Tamil minority communities following independence from Britain in 1948. Disagreements over language policies and ethnic riots in the 1950s exacerbated tensions. Armed militant groups formed among Tamils in the 1970s, with the LTTE emerging as the dominant group. Fighting escalated into a civil war in the 1980s. Repeated ceasefires and peace talks failed to end the conflict, which was marked by brutal violence and human rights abuses committed by both sides over the following decades. The civil war ultimately ended in 2009 with the military defeat of the LTTE by government forces.

Birsa Munda was a tribal leader in British-controlled India who led a revolt against colonial oppression in the late 1800s. As a young boy, Birsa experienced the hardships faced by tribal communities under British rule. He began spreading awareness of the injustices and organizing protests against the British. Birsa emerged as a successful leader, rallying tribal peoples and staging numerous demonstrations demanding their land rights be restored. Though his movement faded after his death in 1900 in a Ranchi jail at age 25, Birsa's efforts helped establish new laws protecting tribal land ownership and symbolized the strength and courage of tribal resistance to the British Raj.

The document summarizes the history of ethnic conflict in Sri Lanka between the Sinhalese majority and Tamil minority. It began under British rule and was exacerbated after independence by policies that privileged Sinhalese like making Sinhala the official language and imposing quotas that limited Tamil university enrollment. This caused resentment among Tamils and led to the formation of militant groups like the LTTE who used violence in fighting for an independent Tamil state, plunging the country into decades of civil war. The conflict attracted intervention from neighboring India in attempts to broker peace, but this failed to stop the fighting and may have intensified the armed struggle.

Tamil_Tigers_of_Sri_Lanka_Liberators_or.pptx
The document discusses the Tamil Tigers of Sri Lanka, also known as the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE). It provides background on Sri Lanka and the origins of the ethnic conflict between the Sinhalese majority and Tamil minority. It analyzes the LTTE using McKinsey's 7S framework, finding they had a hierarchical structure, used guerilla warfare strategies, and recruited committed forces including child soldiers. However, it also argues the LTTE became a terrorist group rather than liberators as evidenced by their attacks on civilians, political leaders, and holy sites using suicide bombers and assassinations. The regional and global implications of the LTTE's activities are discussed.

Lifecycle of a GME Trader: From Newbie to Diamond Hands
Your phone buzzes with a Reddit notification. It's the WallStreetBets forum, a cacophony of memes, rocketship emojis, and fervent discussions about Gamestop (GME) stock. A spark ignites within you - a mix of internet bravado, a rebellious urge to topple the hedge funds (remember Mr. Mayo?), and maybe that one late-night YouTube rabbit hole about tendies. You decide to YOLO (you only live once, right?).
Ramen noodles become your new best friend. Every spare penny gets tossed into the GME piggy bank. You're practically living on fumes, but the dream of a moonshot keeps you going. Your phone becomes an extension of your hand, perpetually glued to the GME ticker. It's a roller-coaster ride - every dip a stomach punch, every rise a shot of adrenaline.
Then, it happens. Roaring Kitty, the forum's resident legend, fires off a cryptic tweet. The apes, as the GME investors call themselves, erupt in a frenzy. Could this be it? Is the rocket finally fueled for another epic launch? You grip your phone tighter, heart pounding in your chest. It's a wild ride, but you're in it for the long haul.

Sinhalese people
- 1. Sinhalese people FROM WHERE DID THEY ORGINATE ? WHAT IS THE BEGINNING OF SINHALESE PEOPLE ?
- 2. WARNINGS This article is not for hurting people’s mentality. This article is the part of the book Mahavamsa. This is for people who is thinking Tamil Eelam's problem is just their problem. The names of the people entered in this article is the real name. This is just the history of Sinhalese people Please don’t copy this article If you find any mistakes please send a mail to e.sureshram2011@gmail.com (only visitors)
- 3. THE BEGINNING - I Around 500 BC, 2500 years ago Suppa devi princess of Kalinga (present-day Orissa and some parts of AP ) married a lion and gave birth to Sinhabahu and Sinhasivali and later Sinhabahu kills his father and marries his own sister and gave birth to 32 children. Vijaya and Sumitha , they are twins and eldest. Prince Vijaya with some soldiers started terrorism in their kingdom. The people told the king Sinhabahu to kill his son but unwilling to kill his own son he kidnaps his son and his soldiers to other country. At last they reach an island known as lanka (present-day Sri Lanka) .In that island they found many similarities with their language and Tamil. So they settled there. He married a Tamil princess Kuveni and his soldiers married some Tamil girls there. Their children are the present Sinhala people. Kuveni listens to vijaya‘s words and always give disturbance to the people. Suddenly he leaves his two sons and order his wife to go out of the kingdom but she leaves with her children and she was killed by the people.
- 4. THE BEGINNING - II Before her death she cursed him that no one will succeed the kingdom after him. After that the Sinhalese people increases and captured the government of tamilians. In the middle Sri Lanka was ruled by Tamil chola kings, Portuguese, Dutch and British people in the following centuries. After Buddhism become famous in Asia. Some Sinhalese Buddhists didn't understand the religion properly and attacked the Islamic Sinhalese people. The British stopped the attack and arrested the head of the attackers and a Tamil scholar went to Britain and requested them to release the Sinhalese leader. They accepted the request and released them. After that Sinhalese people increased and Tamil people decreased. The Sinhalese people did not give any respect to Tamil people. In 1948 Sri Lanka got independence from British. Senanayake was the first president of Sri Lanka. After nine months, he got into the work to kill Tamil people and Tamil Language. They made their language as a national language and changed the rules that people who doesn’t know the language can’t get jobs in government. There’s a lot happened in the 60 years, they killed nearly 2,00,000 Tamil people but still no response for sri lanka people
- 5. IMPORTANT POINTS The people from a far place is now killing the Tamil people who were living there from the beginning. The curse of Kuveni is the reason for the political problems in Srilanka even now. Srilankans killed nearly 2,00,000 Tamil people. These important points are taken from the article above.
