The people generally remember Mahabharata as a war between the Kauravas and the Pandavas fought in or about 3138 BC. They were cousins. But we forget that such types of wars are being fought in many houses in India. One and all are regarding the war fought by LTTE in Sri Lanka as an insurgency.  Hardly a few know that the Sinhalese and Tamils in Sri Lanka are cousins. Their ancestor Vijaya Chakraborty and his ministers were Bengali. His queen and their wives were from Tamil Nadu.
 
Their decendants were called Sinhalese and the language developed was called Sinhala, which is a mixture of Bangla and Tamil. Their dress and the look are the same. They have common gene pool of 55%. A Tamil in Sri Lanka can only be recognized when he speaks Tamil. Still they fought on language issue and perished. That is the reason the author called it LTTE Mahabharata. (jacket)
