"Tamils are also at risk of losing their culture and language. The military’s job description includes propagating Sinhala Buddhism. For example in the Eastern Province of Sri Lanka, there’s an ancient Hindu temple (extensively used by the habitants of that area who are Hindu Tamils) which is currently being used to store a generator. This generator is used solely to illuminate the Buddhist temple built by the army post-May 2009. It is worth noting, not a single Buddhist civilian lives in this area. This simple example is a glimpse into the long-term ramifications of what’s happening now. The name of this village has also been changed and very soon we will see that Sinhala communities are given land as a gift for voting for a particular political party. It is not cash for vote, but land from North and East for your vote." internationalpolicydigest.org/2013/09/04/interview-sri-lankas-social-architects/
