Safety of a southern Sri Lankan in Tamil Nadu
It has been one of my lifelong dreams to visit the Pamban Bridge in Rameswaram, Tamil Nadu. Can anyone in Tamil Nadu elaborate on the safety of a Sri Lankan in Tamil Nadu. I know there is a travel advisory as well as a ban on sportsmen from Sri Lanka, but is there a probability of being attacked on the streets or any other sort of discrimination/inconviniences (I have heard hotels regularly refuse to board Sri Lankans from the south)
Please note that I am from the south and I don't speak Tamil.
