This was a nickname used by the early Indian writers. It is the main reason for the ongoing Tamil invasion of the Sinhela country. The national rights can be had only in ones national motherland. Any section of a countrys nation which settles in the country of a host nation, becomes a non indigenous minority there. Their original national status gets invalidated but becomes one with the host nation.
Minorities can practise their foreign national cultures in a private capacity.
The minorities who already have their national countries elsewhere cannot be entitled to the same national rights in a host country as well. If you do give such rights, it is the same as an invitation to invade the host country. Sri Lanka is the only country where minorities have been granted foreign national rights. If minorities are accepted as an additional nation within the existing Sinhela nation then this nation needs a country too. By dishing out foreign national rights within the Sinhela national country for the past 52 years, there has been a catalogue of crimes committed against the Sinhela sovereign nation.
