For someone who is from Sri Lanka the title will give you a lot of meaning. There are in fact two kinds of Sinhalese. No matter what ever the situation there will always be two kinds of Sinhalese. Here’s a quick list. (Inspiration for the list Courtesy of Dinidu)

  • The aristocrats who subjected themselves to British Rule and those who fought.
  • Those who wanted the Brits to Leave and those who didn’t.
  • Those who want peace and those who don’t.
  • Those who help the LTTE and those who don’t.
  • Those who put down other Sinhalese and those who don’t.
  • Those who blame the Sinhalese for everything that is wrong with this country and those who don’t
  • Those who are ashamed of bring Sinhalese and try to act all “posh” and westernized and those who aren’t.
  • And Finally the primitives who believe The Mahavansa literally and those who don’t.
