| Abstract: | Author describes religious, social, and ethnic roots of Sri Lanka political history. He concludes that "competing national myths, conflicting views over
the use of public space, and different experiences under colonialism, the distinctions
between Tamils and the Sinhalese in Sri Lanka have been reinforced to such
a degree that the situation regarding the devolution of central authority may be
seen as irreconcilable given the history of events that has transpired since independence." |
