A Sinhala-language title from Godage International Publishers, an established Colombo house that publishes across Sinhala and English. The text is entirely in Sinhala, including the front matter, so a reading knowledge of the language is needed to use it.
Sunil Ariyaratna is a familiar name to Sinhala readers as a lyricist, film-maker and academic who has written widely on Sri Lankan cultural and religious history. His prose books are written for a general educated readership rather than a specialist one, and they tend to draw on his research background without becoming technical.
The title translates roughly as "The Tamil Buddhist", and the book belongs to his body of writing on religion and culture in Sri Lanka and the wider region — a subject where Tamil and Sinhala Buddhist histories overlap.
Of interest to Sinhala readers following Ariyaratna's non-fiction, to those reading around Buddhism and ethnicity in Sri Lanka, and to Sri Lankan households abroad building a Sinhala-language shelf for themselves or for children learning to read in the language.
