Indian Tamils of Sri Lanka are Tamil people of Indian origin in Sri Lanka. They are also known as Malayaga Tamilar,Hill Country Tamils, Up-Country Tamils or simply Indian Tamils. They are partly descended from workers sent from South India to Sri Lanka in the 19th and 20th centuries to work in coffee, tea and rubber plantations. Some also migrated on their own as merchants and as other service providers. These Tamil speakers mostly live in the central highlands, also known as the Malayakam or Hill Country yet others are also found in major urban areas and in the Northern Province. Although they are all termed as Tamils today, some have Telugu and Malayalee origins as well as diverse South Indian caste origins. They are instrumental in the plantation sector economy of Sri Lanka. In general,

  • Die indischen Tamilen, indischstämmigen Tamilen oder Hochlandtamilen sind derjenige Teil der tamilischen Bevölkerung Sri Lankas, deren Vorfahren während der britischen Kolonialzeit ab 1840 größtenteils als Plantagenarbeiter aus Südindien (Tamil Nadu) einwanderten. Sie unterscheiden sich sprachlich, kulturell und vom Selbstverständnis von den einheimischen Sri-Lanka-Tamilen. Die rund 840.000 indischstämmigenen Tamilen stellen 4,2 Prozent der Bevölkerung Sri Lankas (2012). Die meisten indischstämmigen Tamilen leben im Hochland Sri Lankas. Nur im Distrikt Nuwara Eliya stellen sie die Bevölkerungsmehrheit. Größtenteils sind sie als Arbeiter auf Teeplantagen beschäftigt. (de)
