It is important to note that Tamil Eelam is not a recognized state. It was a goal of the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE), a militant group that fought for an independent Tamil state.
However, the LTTE was defeated in 2009, and Tamil Eelam does not exist as a physical entity.
Therefore, there is no definitive area associated with Tamil Eelam.
The LTTE's proposed territory, however, generally encompassed the Northern and Eastern Provinces of Sri Lanka, which have a large Tamil population.
The area of these two provinces combined is approximately 16,336 square kilometers (6,307 square miles).
It's crucial to remember that this is just the proposed area of a non-existent state. The current political reality in Sri Lanka is vastly different.
