Again, the Sinhalese never came from India as a people. And the Sinhalese predate the Bengali identity and language which arose around 1000 CE in what is now known as Bengal. Ditto for Gujarati. The capital of the Sinhalese - Anuradhapura - was established around the 5th century BC long...

Tamils are from (what is today known as) India. Their language and identity developed entirely in India. They invaded the island and tried to steal Sinhalese land and claim it as their own. Didn't work out well for them. They are welcome to do whatever the f**k they want in their Tamil Country...

I would say it belongs to all Sri Lankans. But it is definitely the homeland of the Sinhalese people, whose national religion is Buddhism.

The previous government pandered to Tamil politicians and started this in 2016. It's not an established tradition at all. One country one anthem. Not one country, two anthems. It would be another story if they wanted to include Tamil lyrics in the national anthem alongside Sinhalese (one...

Nope. The Sinhalese identity and the Sinhalese language developed entirely in Sri Lanka. Both completely unique to Sri Lanka. Unlike Tamil. Tamils are welcome to bugger off back to their Tamil Country (Tamil Nadu).

Really? Where were the Sinhalese kingdoms with Sinhalese speaking people in India? Make Sinhalese an official language of India then.

Wonderful news. One country, one anthem. Tamils are welcome to sing the Indian national anthem in Tamil. That's where they come from.

An in depth look at the Port City that China is building in Sri Lanka. It's not in English but the video tells its own story. The Colombo skyline is developing beautifully and the views are amazing. Thanks China!

LMAO Dravidian Tamils provided the world with most of its suicide bombers before ISIS.

Laughable how India lectures to Sri Lanka

It's laughable how India preaches to Sri Lanka.

They don't fear Hindus. Many Sinhalese in Sri Lanka visit Hindu temples and Buddhist temples have shrines to Hindu deities. It really isn't an issue. But what they will not accept is another Tamil Nadu in Sri Lanka. However China - Sri Lanka ties are essential for the island. India has armed...

The BBS is a fringe group shunned by the majority, the leader was jailed until recently released while the RSS is mainstream - they founded the BJP which is now running India. So false equivalency.

The most inept, corrupt, pathetic SL regime under Maithripala Sirisena and Ranil Wickremesinghe has been given a stunning slap in the face by the Sri Lankan voter.

LOL at the BBC trying to give a negative spin. How about you guys put Tony Blair and his establishment on trial for war crimes before commenting on others? The Sri Lankan people have spoken. Deal with it.

As usual the United National Party and Ranil Wickremesinghe do nothing. How's that yahapalanaya going?

Did it include a suicide bombing?

Tamils are the biggest practitioners of caste. They kill, murder, rape and discriminate on the basis of caste. Temples are segregated along caste lines.

What happened to the "Muslim ummah"?

Is there something wrong with idol worship?
