The diaspora is diverse, and the complexities of the history and root causes of the conflict are often lost in media reporting. The plethora of experiences in diaspora communities, within and between ethnic groups, is also often unexplored. Diaspora individuals frequently have complex relationships with the land of their heritage, shaped by years of conflict both in Sri Lanka and within the diaspora itself. Viewpoints and political stances differ within communities, families and generations, not just between them.
