All Kings of Kotte and Kandy were Tamils.Their royal court language was Tamil.They wrote letters in Tamil.Their agreements with the foreign Kings were written in Tamil.But Pali & Sinhala writers said that they were Sinhalese and cheated the British Authority and others.Kotte rulers and Kandy rulers were called Pandaram.Gampola rulers and Raigamam rulers were stated Piraburajas.RulersofAnourpuri,Pulathiyanagar,Kurumbanagar (Kurunagal) and Kathirgamam were Vanniyans.Pandaram,Piraburaja,and Vanniyans (vannirajas) were the chieftains under the Singai Arya Chakravarthi Emperor of Singanagar.Singai Pallava Kings of Ceylon were Monarchs and Sovereigns of Ceylon. Pandaram,Piraburaja and Vanniyan were not Kings but they were the tamil rulers of small territories under the Monarch of Singa Nagar according to the royal heritage of ceylon.
Kotte Sinhala Government has not posses sovereignty since 1948.It made an attempt to taken over sovereignty from the British Crown through violation or revolution in 1971 is legally null and void.The sovereignty of the Kandy and Kotte kingdoms is with the British Crown.Threre was no provision to draft a new constitution to replace it and provisions provided only to make amendments.Leftists who were against to crown and democracy prepared a new constitution out of the way is illegal, breech of law and violation of the British rule.If these constitutions of 1972 and 1978 do not have legal values, the governments which were established from these constitutions also legally not valid. Sinhala leaders fallow the technics of Mahathana mutha (Village Headman) in handling the lives of tamils caused disaster of tamils.All territories of Ceylon were ruled by chieftains of Singai Kingdom of Singanagar (Jaffna). Most of the territories were ruled by Kurumpars who were descendants of Pallava Kings (Jaffna). Some chieftains were Piraburajas and Verls who were members of Pallava Royal Family. Nagars were descendants of Tamils Naga Kings of Ceylon. Senen and Vanniyans were the rulers of forest areas. If a chieftain was the ruler for more than one territory he was called as Pandaram. These are the posts of a Tamil Kingdom according to the Royal heritage of Ceylon and Chieftains and Pandarams were not kings as per Royal heritage of Ceylon .Rulers of Kandy and Kotte add Pandaram with their names shows their status.
Anourpuri (Kailai Vanniyan Pattu), Pulathiyanagar, Thambadeniy, Kurunagal and Yappacoo (Subbcoodam) were vannipattus. Rulers of Gampola an Raigama were Praburajahs as per literatures. Pali authors who were brought to Ceylon by Chola Emperors in the 11th and 12th who did not know the Royal heritage of Ceylon, wrote all chieftains as kings. In a period many kings ruled the country found in Pali literatures is completely wrong and irregular. Mahavamsam was written from Adda Kathai of Anourpuri. Addakathai was written in Tamil by Tamil Bhikkus of Tamil Nadu when they were at Anourpuri. Sangamithrar and Achariya Tharmapalar had done import role. Mahavamsom did not mention about any flag of Ceylon. But all Territories of Ceylon were under the Kings of Pallavam and were under one flag which is Nanthi (Bull) in normal time and Singam (Lion) in war time. One and only Empire of Ceylon is Singai ( Pallva ) Empire of Ceylon.
The kings who were mentioned as Kalinga dynasty in culavamsam is identified with Jaffna Kalinga Chakaravarthy dynasty by Dr. K. K. Pillai and Panditharatnam C.S. Navaratnam. Because Jaffna Arya Chakravarthys were mentioned as Kalinga Chakravarthy dynasty (Dr. K. K. Pillai, south India and Ceylon Page 117) Vijayabahu married princess Thrilogasundary belongs to Kalinga Royal family. Jaffna kings were mentioned as Kalinga dynasty by C. S. Navaratnam (Tamils of Ceylon page 97). V. K. Nadarajah says some historians’ conclusion is Kalinga dynasty kings of Ceylon belongs to Jaffna Kaalinga Chakaravarthy dynasty (Pandaya Eelam II). Further kings of Kalinga dynasty of Ceylon used tamil as their language for administration in their period of ruling.
Kings of Pallavam and Emperors of Singainadu only the sovereigns of Ceylon and sub Kings or Pandarams or chieftains who were the rulers under Kings were not the sovereigns of Ceylon. H. W. Codrington stated in his book a short history of Ceylon that the language of the Kotte Kings was Tamil and Kotte Kingdom was established by a Tamil King Alageswaran (or Alagakone). Third Report of Historical Manus scripts commission published the records of the Kotte Kingdom which were written in Tamil and 66 letters written in Tamil by the Kings of Kandy. The donation made by Kotte King Veera Pandaram (Veera Parakramavahu) were recorded in Tamil in his sasanam.

Those who betrayed the Kandyan rulership were rewarded with palaces. Through sheer wickedness the Tamils of Kandy were registered as Malabars and therefore requested to be exiled this was in the year 1815. As a result of this multitude of Tamils left the land.

M.K.Antony said in his article of Virakesary (20.9.1998) that Edword Mullar said that Gamini Abayan is Tudda Gamini ,son of Sathathesan is Vatagamini. The brother of Kallada Nagan is Vatagamini. Second son of Sathathesan is Kalladanagan Nagars are Dravidians ( Tamils ). As his brother is a Naga, Vatagamini is also a Naga King.It is concluded by western historians that Nagas are Tamils .Sathathesan engraved a stonehead in tamil and he is a tamil king.

King Vatagamini is also named as Valagamvahu ‘Namathu Nadu’ an Indian book says as A Tamil King Valagambahu ruled in Ceylon and his statue is kept in Dambulla cave.

Wilheim Geiger stated in his book that Adda Kathai was written by the Bhikkus of eight viharais of Anourpuri. Most of the contents of Mahavamsam was taken from the Adda Kathai. Further said that the incidents prior to 160 BC is completely, not acceptable. Those incidents were baseless. Important statements of them are different from truth.

Prof. Kumbruve Vajira Thero said that old books of Buddhism were written in Ceylon by Tamil Bhikkus who came from South India.

Adda Kathai was written by Tamil Bhikkus in Tamil. When Adda Kathai – Maha vasmam was written in Pali by Pali Bhikkus in the 13th Century from Adda Kathai the Pali writers made many changes. Later it was translated into Sinhala by Sinhala Buddhist writers in the 15th Century, they omitted the name Adda Kathai and named the book as Mahavamsam because Adda Kathai is a Tamil book written by Tamils. It indicate that before 15th century Sinhala language was not prevailed.

King Narenthirasiman of Kandy claimed in 1739 that the Jaffna Kingdom was not come under the Portuguese and Dutch rule. It belongs to his mothers relations.

Maha Parakramabahu rebuilt 77 Siva Temples and 29 new temples for God Siva (Mahavamsom) .A dagoba which was built by Maha Parakrama Vahu named as Thamila Thubam. He born to Tamil parents, father Veeraperumal and mother Rathinavalli. His royal court language was Tamil.

Rev. Father David said that Sinhala was brought up as a language in the 14th Century AC. More than 4000 Tamils words are found in Sinhala. It is correct Mahavamsom translated in Sinhala in the 15th Century AC. Without Sinhala language there is not Sinhalese. So Sinhalese were evolved in the 14th Century AC. If not why they wrote the history in Tamil and Pali and to wait 15th Century to write in Sinhala.

All letters written by the King Keerthi Sri Rajasingan of Kandy were in Tamil (in Nuwara Eliya Museum). Agreement between French King Luis 16th and King Keerthi Sri Rajasingan was written in Tamil leep in Pandechery Museum.

In the rule of King Logathasan ( 169 – 291 AC) in Abeyakiri Viharai of Anourpuri Tamil Bhikkus Preached Buddhism in Tamil.

A Tamil Bhikkuni Sangamithai from Cholanad who was appointed as a teacher for his sons Jegatheesan and Mahasenan by King Kali appu (Gothabaya) in (Geiger Mahavamsam XXXVI VII3). She was appointed to preach Buddhism also in the period of King Mahasenan. She taught Buddism in Tamil for King & Childern because they were Tamils.

A lot of stone heads carved in Tamil were identified by Archeological Researchers in regions out of North East of Ceylon. Many stone heads written in Tamil are found in the cities Galle, Chilaw Gampola, Kurunegala, Kandy, Kotte, Kottegamam, Padaviya, Palamoddai, Polonaruwa and Sengadagala of Ceylon. These stone heads states that the judgements were given in Tamil by the rulers carved in Tamil. According to the history these cities were the rulership centres of Tamil Kings of Ceylon and it indicates that the Tamil was the language in the royal court of the above centres.In all parts of ceylon tamils only lived in majority in the above period.
