Sri Lanka: Rising Sectarian Schism

Published By: SSPC on eSS | Published Date: August, 01 , 2014

Sri Lanka, home to a plethora of ethnically diverse communities, saw horrific communal bloodshed in July 1983.

The island's hard-line Buddhist Power Force is up against the Muslims setting towns afire, mirroring incidents of the Burmese violence.
