Prince Vijaya's (the first Siṅhalese king's) ancestry came from Vaṅga and Kalinga (present-day Bangla/Bengal and Odisha). But, the Siṅhalese apparently feel no desire or duty to reintegrate with or protect the Theravāda communities near Kolkata, Chittagong, etc. Why?

FYI #racism #tribalism #conflict #communalism I was there just before - the #discrimination had to be felt to be believed. Noting the #Sinhalese profess to be peace loving #bhuddists. #Tamils are much darker skinned and embrace a multi faith approach to religious practice.
