is sinhaldweep Sri Lanka?

i hav read sum posts abt Sinhaldweep so i want 2 clear 1 thing dat sum of us hav guesses it as sri lanka.though 2day it may b Sri lanka is called Sinhaldweep but in Jayasi's Padmavat lanka was mentioned as such & dis Sinhaldweep was said 2 b located sumwhere near Jagnathpuri i.e. Orissa & bengal region & also in it da way from Sinhaldweep 2 Chhittor mentioned like it was btwn these places.

even i m confused.Arey koi hai yahan ?? 😕

Singhal Dweep is Ceylon according to this source ^

satvik i agree wid u dat 2day & from da time of British Sri Lanka was known as Ceylon & also as Sinhaldweep. but i hav read in  Jayasi's Padamavat dat Sinhaldweep was sumwhere btwn Orissa & Bengal region & Sri Lanka was also known as Lanka only at dat time. he has mentioned it as Lanka dweep & alongwid 6 oder dweep, &even he mentioned Jamboodweep not as whole of India but only N.India.

I guess your right then...

There are two types of people in Sri Lanka now: Tamils and Sinhalese.

Sinhalese = Singhal Dweep

The Sinhalese are probably originally from Bengal but live in Sri Lanka now.
