There is a tragic conflict between the Tamil minority and the Sinhala ethnic group in Sri Lanka and has continued in different forms of liberation struggle over the past forty years. This migration has taken place overseas from Sri Lanka to various countries like India, European nations and Australia. The Tamil people as diasporas and refugees has endured lots of critical crisis in their lives. The writers register such events of the people in their creations and portray the voyages, experiences and misery that occurred during this migration. This article seeks to explore the maritime diaspora experiences and challenges the Eelam Tamils face as refugees in the novels Kalinga, Survival, and Ethel.
