MTCC, you are right and wrong. It’s origin is ethnic and the war was primarily Sinhalese v/s/ tamils. However, the Tamils were mostly Hindu with Christian and Muslim minorities and the Sinhalese were mostly Buddhists with some Christians. It is portrayed that the Buddhist clergy are against compromise, but that is mostly due to their ethnic background rather than religious.
Yes, but my point was that the LTTE - Sri Lanka conflict isn’t a religious one.
It traces back purely to the Sinhala-Only Act, that was meant to put the English-language-using Tamils out of administrative work.
