I would also like to start a discussion thread on the Tamils, living in Manipur.
I came to know a part of Tamils who returned from Burma, were settled near the border in Manipur.
Anybody can write further information about them?

  There are roughly 50,000 Tamils in Manipur. Many of them are of Burmese Origin. About 25,000 of them are found in the border town called Moreh. No so called patriotic Indians cares for them. Their main job is business transaction. They work hard despite dreadful mosquito bites, snakes etc., God only save them.

  An organization should be formed to guide them to come up and to retain their Tamil identity. The organization should find out the opportunity of businesses at Manipur, so that Tamils can go and start business there. It will help those existing Tamils to get jobs. Lorry operating, Petrol bunk, South Indian restaurants(Veg. or Non-veg.), Sweet stalls etc. are the hopeful businesses which are familiar to Tamils. This idea can be implemented to other parts of India and abroad. The jobless Tamils can grow by their hard work so that poverty in Tamil Nadu will be reduced. If poverty is less crime(like robbery, murder) also will be less.
  To guide the people in this idea an organization should be started.

  My naga, meitei friends blame the Tamils for the drug trafficking in moreh. It is an unfortunate reality. All these ppl have come from Burma during the tumutous phase after they got independence.
  
  The Mariamman Temple here attracts a lot of Burma Vazh tamils during the annual festival which contain thii-midhi etc.
  
  I have seen Tamils in Nagaland, Guwahati(Assam) too. Whenever I visit any south Indian restuarent in these places, I hear the tamil songs from the kitchen. But the owner is normally a keralite or kannadiga. Irony!
  
  In Imphal, now there are two tamil restaurents doing brisk business.
  
  Nanmaaran,
  
  P.Chidambaram visited moreh a few years back. Forget the nationalist politicians, what the Tamilnadu politicians are doing?? Almost everywhere the murukku selling tamils are usilampatti fellows. Almost everywhere the sweet shops employ tamil boys, Almost all south indian restaurents employ tamils for dosa making and sambhar making. But, we don't see the tamils interacting with each other cutting across the status lines!

  I was surprised to see many tamils engaged in making and selling bamboo furniture. I met a tamil muslim who told that he is sending these items to chennai.

  Is there any organization like Tamil Sangam, Tamil mandram in Manipur?
  
  First the Tamils in Manipur (and other eastern states) should have been united.
  Then they must come up in various businesses.
  They must start a Tamil news paper for them selves.
  They should open Tamil school for their children.
  They must find out the hopeful business opportunities and invite Tamilians from Tamil Nadu to start business there in Manipur.
  They should involve in the local politics.

  Guys
  
  Tamils in Manipur are suffering. Also heard recently that Malayasian Tamils are the fast diminishing populace in their country. Tamil percentage has dropped to 4% of Singaporean City-state. Soon it'll removed from their national language list. Mauritius and South African Tamils as such not conversant with writing in Tamil are losing their grip on the spoken one as well...And ofcourse SriLankans have undergone so much visible suffering for 20yrs now...Pratically Burmese Tamils are not a rare bunch. There is no such thing now...
  
  Tamils are becoming small-hearted and less daring...Cholas writing their histories on the temples of Indonesia and Cambodia, conquering Maldives and Andamans are all fine. But that was 1000 yrs ago. This is 2003.
  
  Think abt it. Glory is like kingdom lost. It HAS TO BE regained.

  ALL INDIANS ARE OF THE SAME MAKE. CAUCASIAN.
  
  most of the indians are not fair compared to other people in the world due to sun tanning. Dravidians are Aryans who settled quite early and so they are brown or kind of dark compard to the couunterparts (aryans)

  Guys,
  
  I was surfing the net for details on Moreh. Off course for busines reasons, but I was surprised to learn that Tamizh people reside there.
  
  It is saddening to know thier issues...

  @SENDHIL
  WHY DO U BECOME SAD TO KNOW THE TRUTHS
  i) caste in ancient india was based on character rather than color or birth. eg) thieves were assumed lowest caste
  ii) dark people and non brahmins ruled india especially the south infact they constituted many brahmins. So there is no doubt that dark brahmins who are present today were existing even before a 2000 years as brahmins.
  iii) dravidian kings ruled south india
  iv) All indians are immigrants into india at one period or the other for a time span of 25000 yrs and get suntanned. The list includes aryans and dravidians .
  BRAHMINS and BRAHMINISM WERE PRESENT IN INDIA EVEN BEFORE ARYAN INVASION

  This dav dude!!!
  
  He posted in all the forum's sites i have see.
  
  Go stuff ur caste crap.
  
  There is no caste system in srilanka, (Jaffna peninsula) where i came from.Tamils respect each other as fellow humans.
  We are united in our desire for freedom.
  
  We do not go around blubbering b.s about how u cant get rid of caste system.
  
  If u keep on talking about caste, how can u leave it behind as past and move on in the world?
  
  We tamils should stand shoulder to shoulder and face the future. We should learn from our past mistakes and not squbble over it.
  
  True Tamils do not care for caste b.s.
