Abstract

After independence, Srilanka did not get over colonialism and became a prey to the nationalist movements and ideologies of Sinhalese and Tamils. The imposition of Sinhalese language, culture and power over Tamils led to Tamil separatist movements and civil wars. During the civil war, minority Tamil groups were tortured and killed by the Srilankan army powered by the majority Sinhalese groups which led to the escape and migration of Tamils from Srilanka. This inflicted eternal horror and trauma in Tamil people. The traumatic experience of the Tamils and the effect of internal colonization is looked into through the theory of “Cultural trauma” in this paper through Jeffrey Alexander in the book Cultural Trauma and Collective Identity.
