Sri
Lanka officially has three ethnic populations, namely the Wedda’s an ancient
primordial population of the former Indian peninsula, which has been cut off
from India for over 3000 years by rising sea levels, but still had natural and
narrow stretches until nearly 2500 years ago which, like a back above water,
closed off the west of the Palk street, and formed a connection to India.
It can
be concluded with certainty that the Tamil population, or at least their
ancestors, the Dravids, settled second in the northern part of the present
island, in connection with the southern part of India that they inhabited, and
is today known as Tamil Nadu. The north of Sri Lanka that was flooded in front
of the Palk street strip due to the rising sea level, lies side by side with
Tamil-Nadu on the Indian mainland.
Possibly
at the same time or earlier, there were infiltrations of Malaysian sea
fishermen who, via mixing, were able to spread from Malaysia via the coastline
to Sri Lanka, and often mixed with natives. The early mixing with Malaysian
fishermen and seafarers of the Sino-Malaysian fleet that may have already been
trading a trade route 4000 years ago has resulted in Sri Lanka being influenced
by East Asian and Indonesian elements, fashion culture and customs, and to this
day the Sinhalese culture owes. Malay Sinhalese and Malay Tamils make up
nearly 50% of the total population.
A third
population who settled on the island were the Sinhalese, an Aryan tribe from
northern India, who invaded Sri Lanka's western back and fought the Tamils to
eventually gain authority. The total population was forced to accept Singala as
the official language under Sinhalese custody, but the Tamil population never
did so.
Until
today, the backbone of Sri Lanka and the economy, still the Tamil population,
consisting of diligent workers who are poorly paid, hold the economy of the
island intact.
While
there was hardly any corruption, begging or any antisocial development among
Tamil ranks, the Sinhalese ranks are full of social abuses, crime and
corruption.
The
fourth population is that of the citizens, descendants of the former settlers,
who have settled there permanently. In the end, Moors may have settled,
especially in recent times, but they are a very small minority, spreading
Islam, and thereby achieving some success. All peoples except the Tamils are
officially counted among the Sinhalese, giving them political dominance.
The
island is today dominated by the extremely unreliable and aggressive group of
race Sinhalese who belong to the Aryan development.
Especially
the ongoing suppression of Tamils makes the island explosive. Nobody should be
surprised that tensions arise towards Roman Catholics, since it is precisely
this religion that supports crime, through laxity, covering crime with the
mantle of love. While that is precisely why the Mafia often goes together with
the Roman church.
The
presence of Islam can also be a threat, due to the ties with the Arab world and
Islam Extremism.
Violence in Sri Lanka on Easter Day 2019 (VRT News)
In Sri
Lanka, some 300 people have already been counted after the series of attacks
against churches and hotels on Easter Sunday yesterday. The police have already
arrested 24 suspects. According to the Sri Lankan government, a local
extremist-Islamic group is behind the terrorist attacks. In the meantime, the
question is asked whether the government has responded adequately to prior
information. (VRT News)
Since
churches and hotels were the target, one thing is clear: The perpetrators want
to harm the Christian community and the tourism industry. It cannot be excluded
that perpetrators or their organization will go further and carry out targeted
attacks at the airport to cause maximum damage. The chance that Muslim
fundamentalism is involved is extremely high.
As long
as people don’t know with certainty who is behind the attacks and have not
dismantled their organization, traveling to Sri Lanka is a life-threatening
bet.
Europe
is becoming more and more secure, so extremists are shifting their violence to
places where they can hit westerners and Christianity, and that is in the
tourist places and where there are Christian churches, outside the strictly
guarded western world.
