Actually its the other way around-Hinduism predates Buddhism.

But the Buddhists were in Sri Lanka first, right? So I guess the proper question is do Hindus view Buddhism as a corrupted branch of their faith.

As I said, I'm trying to understand why the bad blood runs so deep between the Sinhalese Buddhist majority and the Tamil Hindu minority in Sri Lanka.
