well , tamilnadu is not a country itself so Sinhalese need not bother now after the curse of LTTE is over , New Delhiwill not let that happen. and about hyper-nationalism and attitude towards minorities, never HIndus persecuted others , even Jews were never killed or persecuted in India quite a contrary to other countries where jews reside. and ministers of present govt never said anything against minorities . somedays back a person from your country complained about allowing srilanka national anthem in tamil. so lets not point finger . we all have problems , may be Indian things gets exaggerated due to our large population.
who says we reject everything which are foreign , well democracy was foreign to us a millenia back, we embraced it , similar to many other things. well some ppl here think themselves superior when they learn english , mimic west. 20-30 yrs back ppl used to celebrate the birthdays of small children in Mandirs (Hindu temples ) and gave foods to poor , now they cut the cakes, now many people hate to serve their old parents because they see them as burden ( i am not saying that ppl like this didnot exist earlier but they are too many now) many traditional recipes are lost , many form of plants/seeds are lost. no point in blind mimicking . i admire the japanese in that aspect. they preserve their culture.
