A story on Burmese Tamil refugees who were displaced to Manipur, India, following a coup in the 1960s that led to race riots against 'Indians'. Hundreds of Jaffna Tamils, who were brought to Burma as part of the British colonial apparatus, were also affected and returned to Ceylon in the wake of the violence. They are remembered as Rangun Tamils."When they reached the border crossing, Burmese soldiers prevented them from entering the country. The Tamils settled in Moreh hoping one day to return to their homeland - but those dreams have never been fulfilled."via: http://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-33973982
