- Transnationalism refers to sustained ties of persons, networks, and
organizations across nation-state borders, arising out of international
migration patterns and refugee flows (Faist, 2000).

- � �True transnationalism will not
come by the suppression of one nation by another. A true trans
nationalism will come from nationalisms that have flowered and
matured; from peoples who have grown from dependence to independence and
inter-dependence - and to work for the flowering of the Tamil nation is
to bring forward the emergence of a true trans nationalism.�
