Sinhalese Buddhists were, more often that not, more violent than the LTTE. Even today, the sinhalese buddhists show their implacable aversion to India and their own tamil polulation.Tuan wrote:Lanka prayer campaign, Gandhian struggle at its best

Indeed a formidable share by one of the most prominent Indian scholars in Sri Lankan affairs.
Nevertheless, British Imperialists may have well understood the Gandhian philosophy. Yet, the Sinhalese Buddhists in Sri Lanka practice extreme ethnonationalism known as the "Jaathika Chinthanaya" or "Mahavamsa Mindset," who would not understand Gandhi's language of Ahimsa or Satyagraha, I am afraid...
Freedom is won and/or defended only by violent means, never by this nonsensical construct called non violence. Power was merely transferred to a shadow govt of brown shahibs and administrative status quo was maintained, as was desired by the departing britshits
The britshit deep state was entrenched and embedded in India as the ICS which later morphed into the babooze network.
like the britshits left behind colonial polis, the ICS was selected, trained and indoctrinated to work for the colonial masters and rule over the Indian masses. Which is why these two entities, even today, behave like their colonial masters never left and we see this in all their dealings with the aam aadmi.
regarding the britishit imperialists and their understanding of the gandhian philosophy, they knew how to control him and through him, the majority Hindus who were swayed by him
What ghandhy so slyly did by his "sathyagraha" was hold out the unspoken threat that if his so called "sathyagraha" was allowed to fail by the britshits, then he would neither be responsible nor would he be able to "control" the violence that would inevitably follow.
He never stopped or even make any attempt to stop the frequently repeated violence by the jehadis against the majority. In fact, he invariably exhorted the majority to die by jehadi hands as a sign of their commitment to his (ghandhy's) "sathyagraha" and non violence.
when he apprehended trouble, the great soul quickly cloaked himself with the kavach of the maun vrat (मौन व्रत) and of course, the brahmastra (ब्रह्मास्त्र) of his interminable "prayers"
he was the first desi marketing expert who sold snake oil to his own nation and his own people while he presided over the vivisection of a humongous chunk of the land mass of the motherland which was ripped out of her bleeding body and was gifted away.
Mountbatten would have surely and joyfully ordered some extra nautch girls for that evening's festivities as his wishes, and that of his whitehall master's came true
ghandhy's next agenda was to give away a broad swathe of land, cutting right through the Indian heartland, and connecting east and west pukestan by road and rail thus further dividing the remaining portion of the already cleaved motherland into two more halves.
ghandhy had been approached by the pakis, masterfully but quietly gerrymandered by the britshits, to do just this and he was to be formally invited to go to pukestan and the pakis wanted him to agree and take the decision in pukestan. Indications are that he was very amenable to this suggestion and probably thought that it would be christened in his honor as the ghandhy path.
Until fate intervened and a maharashtrian brahmin decided otherwise.
