Full description

This chapter outlines the history of the ‘ethnic’ conflict between the majority Sinhalas and the minority Tamils in Sri Lanka, which had a profound 'religious' dimension as the majority of Sinhala Buddhist monks (the Saṅgha) not only opposed any meaningful powersharing but also advocated an all-out military solution.
