"SELF DETERMINATION IS KEY TO THE WORLD PEACE"
Prestigious journals like Times of India are well placed to know what has taken place to the innocent Tamils of Sri Lanka
[Tuesday, 9 August 2011 13:23] Featured, NewsPrestigious journals like Times o
f India are well placed to know what has taken place to the innocent Tamils of Sri Lanka. It has the wisdom to distinguish between the civilians and the militants who are the product of years of oppression by the state.
One example here
A study captioned- ‘Sinhala Buddhist Nationalist Ideology ‘- published in 2007 by the East-West Centre in Washington has this to say,
"This study argues that political Buddhism and Sinhalese Buddhist nationalism have contributed to a nationalist ideology that has been used to expand and perpetuate Sinhalese Buddhist supremacy within a unitary Sri Lankan state; create laws, rules, and structures that institutionalize such supremacy; and attack those who disagree with this agenda as enemies of the state.
"The nationalist ideology is influenced by Sinhalese Buddhist mytho-history that was deployed by monks and politicians in the late nineteenth and twentieth centuries to assert that Sri Lanka is the designated sanctuary for Theravada Buddhism, belongs to Sinhalese Buddhists, and Tamils and others live there only due to Sinhalese Buddhist sufferance. This ideology has enabled majority super-ordination, minority subordination, and a separatist war waged by the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE)."
