    These emphasise how the history of the people is intertwined with the plantation sector and reflect the fact
    that most Upcountry Tamils still live within it. The terms do not include residents of up-country towns,
    however, as do “Up-country Tamil” and “Hill-country Tamil.” The latter two, moreover,
    reflect a phenomenological attachment to the landscapes of the island’s interior. All these last
    four terms can be perceived as exclusive in the sense that the people living outside the upcountry
    and the plantations are defined away. This need not be the case, however, if the
    names are taken as recognition of the immense importance of the plantations and the upcountry
    in shaping a collective identity, rather than as defining criteria for membership. When
    I, as Bass, have chosen to use “Up-country Tamil” it is primarily because it agrees with the
    Tamil term which seems to be coming out on top: “malaiyakam thamilar” (literally Tamils of
    the Mountains or Hills). I do believe, after all, that it should be the prerogative of the group in
    question to name itself. There is, however, no clear consensus among the Up-country Tamils."
