Shortly after a historical election, Pope Francis arrives in Sri Lanka. Relations between Buddhists (mostly Sinhalese), Hindus (mostly Tamils), Christians (found in both ethnic groups) and Muslims (who by virtue of history are a distinct social group) have been the subject of even greater controversy since the end of the Civil War. Hostility towards Christians does exist in Sri Lanka from hardline Buddhist nationalists, as it does from Hindu hardliners in Nepal and India. And frankly I dont blame them - since I feel Christians should have no business proselytising there. But Christians are a part of life in Sri Lanka and have been for a few centuries. The American Jesuits who came in the 1940s are still around today.
