🪔 Remembering the 1958 pogrom
This week marks 68 years since Sinhala mobs unleashed a wave of anti-Tamil violence across the island, in what became one of the deadliest anti-Tamil pogroms in Sri Lanka's post-independence history.
Beginning on 22 May 1958 and continuing into June, the violence left hundreds of Tamils dead, thousands displaced and entire communities traumatised.
Estimates place the death toll at between 300 and 1,500 Tamils, whilst countless others were injured. Tamil homes, businesses and places of worship were looted and burned, women were subjected to sexual violence and thousands were forced to flee as refugees.
The pogrom erupted just two years after the island’s first ethnic based pogrom against Tamils in 1956 and followed escalating tensions surrounding the Sinhala Only Act, which had marginalised the Tamil language and intensified Sinhala-Buddhist nationalism across the island.
