SFC George Smith The Easter Sunday blasts were different from the violence that characterized the civil war. That war was fought largely along national and ethnic lines. On Sunday, churches were among the sites targeted.

The civil war had its roots in colonial times, during which the British were seen by the Sinhalese majority as favoring the Tamil minority. When British colonial rule ended in 1948, the Sinhalese majority disenfranchised Tamil plantation workers, made Sinhala the country’s official language and made Buddhism the country’s primary religion (the majority of Sinhalese are Buddhist; the majority of Tamils are Hindu).
