COMPLETE QUESTION:
Which of the following terms /phrases appropriately describes EELAM ?
(a) state
(b) country
(c) nation
(d) territory
ANSWER : (a) STATE
The proposed country is named after the Tamil majority regions of Sri Lanka's Northern and Eastern provinces. It has no official status or recognition from world governments. The term "Eelam" refers to ancient Sri Lanka (written in ancient Tamil literatures). During the Sri Lankan Civil War, Tamil nationalists and Tamil militants, particularly the LTTE (Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam), began using this name. Eelam is additionally a name for the spurge (a plant), drink (an intoxicant) and gold.
- Tamil Eelam refers to Tamil Sri Lanka (the north-east region) and
- Sri Lankan Tamils are referred to as Eelam Tamils (people).
Hence, EELAM is referred to as a State.
