Since Sri Lanka's devastating outbreak of ethnic carnage in July 1983, communal opinions in the nation have stiffened to the point of total obduracy. As the conflict increasingly took on the characteristics of a civil war, casualties among both armed combatants and civilians increased dramatically, bringing grief and still further alienation. The paper is concerned with an increasingly alarming phenomenon closely related to these troubled circumstances - the recent "mushrooming" of various organizations loosely called "Sinhala patriotic groups", many of which invoke Buddhism in one way or another to define their purpose.
