Has anyone here traveled by ferry from Jaffna to India?

Curious about the experience, I heard that the ferry is both active and costs less than a flight ticket to India.

A study on the Experiences of Second-generation Sri Lankan Tamil Diaspora

Hello everyone!

I am a postgraduate psychology student and trainee therapist. As a part of my postgraduate dissertation, I hope to document the lived experiences of the Sri Lankan Tamil Diaspora, Canada in particular for now. The goal of the study is to understand the impact of the war, genocide and the subsequent displacement on the second-generation of Sri Lankan Tamils.

Though the focus would be on family and mental health, I hope this also serves as a platform to amplify the voice of the people and document their experiences. I am extremely passionate about this project and have been trying to undertake this study for years. After being shot down multiple times because of the fear of it being controversial, it has been finally approved. I want to be able to do justice to the people and hopefully in whatever way, help the community at large.

Therefore, if:

  1. You are of Sri Lankan Tamil cultural heritage,
  2. You are between the age of 18-35,
  3. Your parents immigrated to Canada before you were born or during your early childhood (which means you mostly grew up outside of Sri Lanka)

Please consider participating in my study!

I have linked the form below, so if you'd like to participate in this study, fill the form and I will get in touch with you shortly to set a date for the interview :)

Local mobile networks

Hi all, I will be travelling to Jaffna and was wondering what the best mobile networks are for calls and mobile data. I'm not too fussed about the data plans or cost, would like to just see the options.

Also how easy is it to buy a SIM card there for a sim only plan? Is it possible to buy an e-sim on a pay as you go plan?
