The Tamils and the Sinhala...no one won.

Dear Readers,

Well, most of you are probably familiar with Sri Lanka's 30 year civil war, full of hyper-nationalism, guerilla warfare, rape and violence. If you're not, this article gives an oversimplified summary of the past and important current events. Hindu against Buddhist, with Muslims caught in the middle. All on a tiny island with some of the highest education, literacy rates and equality for women in South Asia.

Well, hopefully this is the beginning of the end. All the best to the people of this beautiful place.

NMRK.
