Abstract Although the Sinhalese and Tamil ethnic problem is deep-rooted and of long standing origins, in the early 1980s, it turned into an armed conflict under the leadership of Velupillai Prabhkaran, who had formed the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE). The military defeat of the LTTE in 2009 did not end the Sri Lanka ethnic problem. Pro-LTTE Tamils, who have migrated and settled in many part of the world, have created many diasporic Tamil organizations to continue their fight for a separate state. The LTTE uses the actions of the Transnational Government of Tamil Eelam, the Global Tamil Forum, and the British Tamil Forum indirectly to achieve its political goal-a Tamil homeland. The Tamil Eelam people’s Assembly as well as ex-combatant and intelligence groups continue to adhere to radical ideas of re-emerging LTTE insurgency. Also, the Tamil diaspora is manipulating the Tamil National Aaliance and Sri Lanka Tamil to achieve its goals. Presently, the UNHCR resolution on alleged war crimes by the Sri Lanka Military is a major issue among the members of the diaspora, who wish to discredit Sri Lanka’s government and military. Since Sri Lanka’s Independence in 1948, all successive governments have failed to find a solution for the demands of the Tamils. The Government should encourage all ethnic groups to think of Sri Lanka as one nation for the promotion of peaceful coexistence.
