Abstract

Sinhala Buddhist nationalism has not remained confined within Sri Lanka's borders. A socio-political ideology, the Sinhala Buddhist nationalism in Sri Lanka has significantly shaped the history and current landscape of the island nation. Sinhala Buddhist nationalism draws inspiration from historical narratives, including the belief that Sri Lanka is the sacred land of Buddhism and the birthplace of Sinhala civilization.
