dc.description.abstract	Sri Lanka is now at a point that needs to look at meaningful efforts towards post-conflict peace building. It is the present government's objective to bridge the North and the South through brotherhood. The term North-South should not be understood only geographically, but also in terms of the relationship between Sinhalese and Tamils around the world. Looking at the avenues of how to address the concerns of the Tamil diaspora is therefore a priority for reconciliation. Following the outbreak of violent conflict between the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) and the Sri Lankan state in 1983, many Tamils chose to leave Sri Lanka for their safety.	en_US
