Dutugamunu own admission it should be millions not 60,000 !!
The Victory of Duttha Gamani - king Dutthagamani and Elara
Dutugamunu can admit anything because there was no proper census.
the army of Elara were Damilas(Tamils) , there were no invaders, the purpose of the war was to defeat the Tamils and unite the country
source : The Victory of Duttha Gamani - king Dutthagamani and Elara
How can you say Elara was no invader. Prove that he is no invader but a local Hindu king.
The word Demala or Dameda according to the Sinhala source does not imply Tamils only. It implies to the Dravida clan such as Tamils, Kannada, Malayali etc.
Moreover most of the soldiers and generals of the Elara's army was Sinhalese.
