Eeelamaya,
The Tamil King converted Upcountry into a formidable Kingdom and a place to protect Buddhism from invading armies. While Sinhalayaas were taking Portugese names like Pereras, Silvas, Mendises, and converting to Christianity, the Tamil King gave refuge to the few Sinhalayaas who wanted to escape the tyrany of foreign invaders.
If Tamil King was not there, there would be no Sinhala language nor Buddhism in the island now!
That s completely a wrong argument. Upcountry was developed by the British also Buddhism mainly did not prevail in upcountry.. And which Tamil king are you talking about who saved the Sinhalese? |
