Some people use Knowledge to promote their racism and political propaganda among readers. So they like to make rubbish warnings, when other people believing another opinion. So sometimes they forget to be polite and throw ridiculous words on others. Do not concern about the words of unworthy people.

L Manju, it's a pity that you and Lee find following Knowledge policies so offensive. The fact you haven't heard of Ellalan before may indicate the poor state of Sri Lankan education, where school history books are written by politicians who failed their O'levels. Anyhow, the naming of this article
1409:
Manuneedhi Chozhan was a king in India, not in Sri Lanka. This article, originally titled as Manuneedhi Chozhan, was moved to Ellara or Ellalan. Now the discussions are centered whether the name should be Elara or Ellalan. Let that go on. But I request that the name Manuneedhi Chozhan be de-linked

Each language has its own pronunciation or way of calling. Eg: Jesus in English, Yeshua in Hebrew, இயேசு in Tamil, ජේසුස් in Sinhalese. Likewise, Colombo is Colamba in Sinhalese and Columbu in Tamil. Therefore, you can not say these four names are not mentioning the particular person/place.

I simply do not know who Ellalan is. But I have never heard that Elara was called Ellalan until this special campaign was started to label him so. Last time I checked Knowledge was not a place to publish what someone thinks. You needed to have proper proof to state something.
1383:
because point 4 has no source - the source given in point 2 doesn't say that Ellalan isn't Elara. All it says is that Elara is Aryan i.e. not Tamil, and is related to ancient Sri Lankan kings. Ekanayake has made the leap from this to suggest that Ellalan isn't Elara. That is
826:
You have already pointed to a source that tells who Elara is. So I guess that is not really a question. If you can point me to a proper research where you can prove that Ellalan is Elara, I would be more than happy to accept that view. I'm also interested to know the truth.
1227:
he was from Chola country. What did the Aryan in Tamil country. Is there any valid references than this? The "point 2" hardly tried and used logic to convert a Chola to Aryan, then probably tried to say he is a Sinhalese. If you believe this fiction, rewrite
916:
I think I do not understand what you are trying to say. If you are OK with assumptions used in this page I guess I have no right to ask for proof. BTW, thanks for pointing out that the original name of "කොළඹ" is "Colombo". I was not aware of that fact.
684:
Really? You can teach me? All your sources are Tamil sites with biased opinions. Is that what you call research? My question was how come Elara be the Sinhala translation of Ellalan. You still haven’t given a reliable source.
975:
Hmmm.... "churlish racist diatribe"? as you wish sir. (I don't even know what that mean). I was just pointing out a fact. If you want to use Knowledge for propaganda and others are OK with it. I have no objections.
153: 1496: 1446:
When I search for Manu Needhi Cholan in the search box, it takes me to the Ellalan page. My point is the present link to the word "Manu Needhi Cholan" leading to Ellalan page should be removed.--
1354:, why someone would call "it's biased" is beyond me. Unless one of these names are proven wrong, I don't see what's wrong with mentioning them both. That said, I'd like to remind you guys about 1566: 1511: 194: 1551: 1506: 1561: 620: 147: 1012:
because almost every Sinhalese, and Sri Lankan reliable chronicles do not mention about a king named Ellāḷaṉ or something. The most usable name may be Elara.

I also haven't heard about the name Ellalan before. and this fact also may be incorrect.
