Take a closer look at the period between the 1960s and the early 1980s, and you’ll begin to see the foundations of Sri Lanka’s long and painful conflict. If you really think about it, the reasons aren’t as far removed as we might like to believe. They’re rooted right here, in the choices made by those in power and the failure to address growing tensions at the right time.
During this time, certain policies created deep divisions in our society. Measures like the Sinhala Only Act and standardization for university admissions alienated entire communities. These weren’t isolated missteps—they compounded over years, building frustration and anger among Tamil youth who saw fewer opportunities and a system that seemed stacked against them. Peaceful protests and negotiations were either ignored or suppressed, and that left them with a stark choice: continue to be unheard or take up arms.
The LTTE didn’t emerge in a vacuum. In its early days, it was born out of desperation and the belief that violence was the only way to demand justice when all else had failed. Their initial actions weren’t just about rebellion; they were a cry for survival and a way to force attention on a reality that many were unwilling to face.
The truth is, the roots of this conflict weren’t planted by some distant force. They were planted here—by decisions, policies, and attitudes that could have been different. And that’s a reality we need to confront if we’re serious about understanding what went wrong and ensuring we never make the same mistakes again.
