World's Best - Lydian Nadhaswaram from Tamilnadu (Indian Union)

What's the point? India will take the credit and not Tamilnadu.

The so called 'Sinhalese monks' have been reigned in by the government fast, scores were arrested, their facebook groups banned and visible policing.
Here's a good article on it;

https://www.telegraphindia.com/cult...brand-of-nationalism-in-sri-lanka/cid/1676393

Key extracts;

That as many as 25 Buddhist monks are in jail for committing some hate crime or the other is proof that not all is well between Sri Lanka’s communities.

In March, soon after violence instigated by social media posts went out of control, the Sri Lankan government declared a state of Emergency and temporarily blocked access to social media platforms. Facebook, which has over 55,00,000 users in Sri Lanka, was also asked to introduce more filters on Sinhalese content and hire Sinhalese-speaking content screeners besides instituting a direct point of contact with local authorities.

Post crackdown, some Facebook pages have become dormant. Messages to the Facebook pages maintained under the BBS name remain unanswered. According to those in the know, BBS is one of the most violent groups.

Sinhalese nationalism was one of the most important factors in Tamil Genocide that was perpetrated in Sri Lanka. The buddhist monks were the main driving force behind it. If anyone ever been to Sri Lanka, on their airports there are reserved seats for monks where you wont be allowed to sit at, to me that was an evidence of monks power within Sri Lankan society. I havent been back to Sri Lanka for 5 years now, so I can not comment if this is still the case.

One thing, under no circumstances we should make this assumption that Tamils are a monolithic group as they do have Hindu's, Christians and Muslims among them. From what my experience is, Hindu Tamils are very pro-India (nothing wrong with it) when compared to Christians and Muslim Tamils, regardless of their nationality.
