Evidence

Analyst Jayadeva Uyangoda has argued that “Sinhalese Buddhism has made no significant contribution to the evolution of a non-violent social ideology. On the contrary, the Sinhalese Buddhist historiographical tradition and ideology inherent in it supports ethnic political violence” (Uyangoda 1996: 129, n. 5). — Neil DeVotta, Sinhalese Buddhist Nationalist Ideology, 49
