    Sri Lankan here. Its not often you see content about areas like Jaffna. As someone from the south west of Sri Lanka, you find that everyone knows what kind of place Jaffna is, but barely anyone ever visits, just because its such a long distance to travel by car or train. Domestic flights are unheard of on an island like ours. Its great to finally see Jaffna getting some attention. They have such a unique culture, compared to the more developed areas of Sri Lanka. Colombo is becoming quite westernized. You'd mostly find international cuisine in these areas. Tourism is indeed at an all time low, after taking hit after hit, from organized terrorist bombings across the country, to Covid, to a massive economical collapse, its a surprise its still standing as tall as it is right now. But I believe we are on our way back. Unfortunately we the people are at the mercy of incapable, uneducated, corrupt political leaders, who care about nothing but their wallets. I can only pray this country finds its way through this crisis, as it has many times before.

      Hold the entire Rajapaksa family and their cronies accountable for the deaths of innocent Sri Lankan Tamil civilians, and treat them all as the War Criminals they are, by letting the Hague mete out the justice and punishment they deserve.
      Restore all properties and businesses to their rightful Tamil owners/survivors/successors, and compensate them with sufficient funds to allow them to establish themselves once more.
      Declare Tamil as an Official Language, have proportionate representation for Tamils in Parliament to start with, have free and fair elections and press, and allow Tamils to progress to hold key positions in both the military and the government.
      Allow Tamil to be taught in all schools, and treat all Tamil and Sinhalese students equally. Rebuild all previously predominantly Tamil areas, and demilitarise those same areas. Remove the shield of immunity from prosecution from ALL Sri Lankan government, military and police officials.
      And, finally, declare that all Sri Lankan Tamils are equal citizens in ALL respects, and are entitled to ALL rights, opportunities and responsibilities as their Sinhalese compatriots.

    I met a Sri Lankan Tamil family on my Europe trip. I knew about the history of the Tamil-Sinhala conflict, but as I met Sri Lankan Tamils for the first time in my life, I started digging deep into the history of the people on the island. You did a very nice job pointing out the difference between the *Sri Lankan Tamils (Eelam Tamils/Ceylon Tamils/Jaffna Tamils)* as compared to the *Indian Tamils of Sri Lanka (Hill Country Tamils)* who came to the island and were brought by the British. Sri Lankan Tamils are the actual natives of the island, while the Indian Tamils came from Tamil Nadu. Yes they have a common ancestor, but they came from different time periods to the island.

      Are you not forgetting the Sinhala people in that mix? They were the original people, even the Northern Tamils did not immigrate into this island nation before second century BC, and that land actually already were inhabited. The old capitol of the Sinhala nation and the royal court too for instance were located in Anuradhapura, until the Tamils begun immigrating into the north of the island, forcing the Sinhala to move the capitol first to Kandy and now Colombo.

      The neck lump thing I can explain.

Because Brahmins often intermarry extended family together it becomes very distinct.

    Another awesome video. Thank you.
    Hats off to this wonderful Srilankan lady who has been nothing short of a cultural ambassador for her beautiful country. Her deep love for country can be felt in every word that she utters about Srilanka.
    I wish all the very best to Srilankans for a quick recovery from the current crisis.

      The neck lump thing I can explain. It's because the devotees in that temple carrying the statue are all Brahmins from the same family and caste and they just have a genetic disease that causes neck lumps in older male adults. Because Brahmins often intermarry extended family together it becomes very distinct.

    What a spectacular finale to a spectacular series from our beautiful island Sri Lanka!😍🇱🇰A very big THANK YOU and forever grateful to Sonny and the BEST EVER FOOD REVIEW SHOW team for flying down at this crucial time and promoting the beauty of our island as it is imperative for tourism. Jaffna has been hidden and affected the most due to the civil war that was going on for almost 30 years. The citizens of Jaffna are very private and simple, but the city and cuisine are so colourful and bustling with flavours. This is the first time Jaffna has ever been featured this way on social media and RUclips to reach such a global audience. Especially this festival. In fact, even quite a few Sri Lankans have little to no clue about this festival, which is the longest festival procession on the island. There is beauty and amazing food in every corner of this island, may it be North, South, East, or West.
    Please visit Sri Lanka on your next holiday. Our magical island with absolutely divine cuisine awaits you. 🙏🏽❤️🇱🇰

      @@RuzainaHadgie You are a beacon of light in a perpetually dark place. I left SL 2 decades ago and now looking to come back. I remember witnessing the positivity in you even when Mark Wiens visited SL. As you rightly said Sri Lanka does not need any miracles. The tiny island itself is a miracle. I grew up in Kandy before moving to Colombo. I was blessed to have friends who are Muslim, Tamil, Burgher, Christian, Catholic, Malay etc. The beauty of it all is that all Sri Lankans love the country dearly. (I'm still surprised that the so-called Easter Bombing took place). I hope and pray that SL will resurrect and bounce back to normalcy. Also hope that the Govt will get the priorities right. We've been battered for many decades now. People, irrespective of their creeds and castes expect to be happy. To feed the kids, give them education, freedom etc. Unfortunately, politicians are distracted conveniently. Support tourism and much-needed dollars will come. Support the fishing industry and cultivation, kids won't go hungry. We have been self-sustained for many centuries. Let's revive our souls!!

      Actually, "the world" doesn't know much about Indian Tamils either, lol. Particularly in the West, all people know is Hindi, Hindu, chicken tikka masala, naan and samosas.
      I've met plenty of South Asian Americans that give me a confused look when I say I'm Tamil, especially if they're from places like Punjab or Bihar.
      I grew up in a very white Protestant area of Houston, and the concept of vegetarianism was extremely alien. So no, "the world" does not know "a lot" about Indian Tamils, LMAO.

People are so accustomed to Sri Lankan Tamils that they regularly assume every Dark South Asian looking people as Sri Lankan, rather than Indian (who are associated with "North Indian/Pakistani" appearance). The Tamil language and identity itself are also more commonly associated with Sri Lanka. Many don't know that the Tamil heartland and majority are indeed Indian.

The culture, the food and just everything about Sri Lanka while I was there has been one of the most unforgettable and amazing experiences I've ever had. I'm happy that there is a Sri Lankan restaurant near me where I can experience a portion of the amazing food I had there and I hope to go back soon. I miss this country and everything about it so much

Most food in Sri lanka is Tamilan food but no recognition. Thank you Sonny and Ruzaina for this beautiful show. This episode in particular brought back so many memories and tears to my eyes. My parents also must be somewhere in sea of people at this festival at Nallur kovil. You guys are the best duo to point out the real story in Sri lanka.

One of the first times down their, together with my now ex-wife and her family, we went for a family picnic and they talked about fruit salad, looking forward to that. Here in Denmark fruit salad is very sweet and with rich cream, a overly sweet desert. In Sri Lanka fruit salad is any fruit chopped into dices and sprinkled with chili or curry powder!
