Sri lankan Civil War | LTTE | ഒരു തമിഴ് പുലി കഥൈ (by Milestone in Malayalam)

Sumary

The origins of the Sri Lankan Civil War lie in the continuous political rancor between the majority Sinhalese and the minority Sri Lankan Tamils. Before and during the early part of colonial rule by Europeans, Sri Lanka was under the rule of three separate kingdoms. During the colonial rule by Portuguese and then the Dutch, the three sovereign states were ruled as separate entities. The final British colonial rule amalgamated the entire island into a single administrative entity after independence, and the minorities were handed over to the mercy of the majority. According to Jonathan Spencer, a social anthropologist from the School of Social and Political Studies of the University of Edinburgh,[1] the war is an outcome of how modern ethnic identities have been made and re-made since the colonial period, with the political struggle between minority Tamils and the Sinhalese-dominant government accompanied by rhetorical wars over archeological sites and place name etymologies, and the political use of the national past.
