MAGADEV ADAM KUHA KUMARAN L6F When you think of Sri Lanka, you may think of a tropical paradise. A pearl in the Indian Ocean, lined with glimmering beaches and a diverse range of religions, culture and language. However, many people do not realise the dark tragedy that occurred on the island, the pain and suffering hiding under the facade of a paradise. This war is virtually unheard of in the Western world, considering the ongoing ethnic discrimination of Sri Lanka’s minorities (especially Tamils and Muslims). Persecution of Tamil Hindus occurs today to an extent. However, the perceived enemy has shifted toward the Muslim, mostly ethnically Tamil, community, particularly since the Easter Sunday bombings in 2019, which shook the world.
