brinthan Posted March 4, 2004 Report Share Posted March 4, 2004 I don't know what puranas say about Lanka other than Rama came to Lanka to fight Ravana. But According the history, 3/4 of Lanka belonged to Dravidians, Tamils to be exact. But after the invasion of foreigners, Sinhalese started to colonize, and started to change the history slowly, and now, they changed it fully. According to the history of Lanka (the one they teach at school), Lanka belongs to Sinhalese since from the beginning. But nowadays, a lot of evidences have been founded to prove that 3/4 part of Sri-Lanka belonged to Dravidians and Tamils. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted March 5, 2004 Report Share Posted March 5, 2004 I don't know if Lanka is mentioned in the Puranas. I know Lanka is mentioned as just and Island in the Ramyana, where Ravana ruled at that time it was still a part of Bharat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
