Explores Sinhala-Buddhist fundamentalist ideology and its power to shape the identities of Sri Lanka's ethnic and religious minorities. The ideology asserts a vital link between the island of Sri Lanka and the Sinhala people, especially in their role as curators of Buddhism, and often to the exclusion of minorities. Minority responses are manifold, ranging from assimilation to the formation of rival fundamentalisms. It is arguably the single most important issue facing Sri Lanka today.
