When examining the history textbooks, it’s clear that the authors chose heritage over history, and Sinhala Buddhist heritage over all others.
Nirmal Dewasiri, a history professor, believes that the Mahāvaṃsa bias is also Sinhalese bias, presenting the Sinhalese as legitimate rulers of the land. He also says history textbook drafters “simply aren’t capable enough.”

PEARL has released a new report and accompanying case study examining the Sri Lankan state’s ongoing project of Sinhalization in the North-East, as well as a detailed focus on land dispossession and violence against Tamil dairy farmers in Mayilaththamadu–Madhavanai.
The report forms part of PEARL’s Sinhalization series and builds on its 2022 publication, State-Sponsored Sinhalization in the North-East. It documents how Sinhalization operates as a form of ethno-national conquest, historically intertwined with ethnic cleansing and used by successive governments to obstruct Tamil demands for autonomy and self-rule.
Contrary to official narratives that frame these practices as “development,” PEARL’s analysis demonstrates that Sinhalization functions as an anti-development project. It actively destroys existing economic systems, prevents the emergence of new ones, and entrenches poverty in Tamil-speaking regions. The report finds that state-led irrigation, settlement, and land redistribution schemes associated with Sinhalization have failed to generate economic returns, and wasted public resources. The accompanying case study on Mayilaththamadu–Madhavanai illustrates these dynamics on the ground.
PEARL urges the international community, including UN member states, to recognize Sinhalization as a systematic state policy, take urgent action to halt state-sponsored land grabs, advance meaningful international accountability mechanisms in the face of repeated domestic failures, and support Tamil calls for self-determination.

We Sri Lankans have an unbelievable tolerance for nonsense. Instead of fixing things that exploit or harm us, we adjust, and then adjust again. @dialoglk has taken full advantage of that tolerance for years and milked it for profit. It needs to end.

Families of the victims allege that two days ago, during the removal of the military camp in Muththaiyankaddu Left Bank, Mullaitivu, a soldier at the site invited four local youths to collect scrap metal. Soon after, they say, other soldiers attacked the group. The youths fled in different directions, with three returning home yesterday. The fourth, who had been missing, was found dead this morning in the Muththaiyankaddu Tank.

Can we please stop comparing the lion to the tiger? A tiger is stronger, is heavier, is faster and more brutal than lions.
The lion is a fraudulent creature who paid influencers to call it “king of the jungle”. This overhyped wig-wearing fraud does NOT even live in the jungle.
