Sinhala Only Following the success of the first two parts of Manuka Wijesinghe’s best-selling nation's trilogy, Monsoons & Potholes and Theravada Man we now have the final part of the trilogy, Sinhala Only! Sinhala Only is a patchwork of people, of tales, of habits, of customs and minds in the landscapes of Ceylon, now Sri Lanka. It is the soul of diversity. Her book is a brave attempt at preserving this diversity amidst the threatening ocean of insularity that seems to be encompassed in the spirit of the times. Sinhala Only is the story of sad plight of this nation’s youth, about the birth of Tamil and Sinhalese Terrorism. One face with two languages. The two sides of the same coin. Sinhala Only compares, with its many dialogues and many actors, why Ceylon went wrong and why India is going right. Sinhala Only is a book about Buddhists, Hindus, Tamils, Christians, Muslims, Sinhalese… that diversity which was once Ceylon’s strength, which ended when monks and merchants collaborated and a political grievance-monger triumphed through sheer rhetoric and the blessed will of Democracy. It was the culmination of ‘Sinhala Only’. Sinhala Only is also about those who followed him. With the whip of democratic oratory and election gimmickry they led Ceylon down the slope to become a nation led by bulls, not carters. Sinhala Only is about the spirit of the times and of man in the spirit of his times.
