“A majority of the Christian actors interviewed for this report point to a Sinhala-Buddhist revival after the war and the triumphalism that followed, as driving the attacks after May 2009. While aggression against minorities is not new, some Christian groups and clergy stated that there is a wave of renewed attacks due to the efforts to claim Sri Lanka as a Sinhala-Buddhist nation in a post-war era.” p.32
