ethnic cleansing if it displays resistance. Undeniably, Sri Lanka stands as a classic example of how state building can fail when one ethno national group (in this case the Sinhalese) attempts to build a religio, juridico and politico-economic society by excluding its minorities (De Votta 55). De Votta is of the opinion that Sinhalese nationalism and subsequent ethnic conflict is more or less the creation of political elites in Sri Lanka, vying for power and similarly, Tamil nationalism is cast…
