"Thomas the Tank Engine" is a hugely popular series of kids books, TV shows and assorted spin-off products. Not sure which countries it's shown in, but it's been sold in a lot of places. It's been revived and re-done several times since the books were first written something like 50 years ago.
Tamils are a race of people from S.India and Sri Lanka. So all those hangers on could easily be Tamils.
