Rethinking Muslim and Tamil Identity at Kuragala/Daftar Jailani

Dennis B. McGilvray · in Sri Lanka — History and the Roots of Conflict (Routledge, 2016)

tlte-cite:mcgilvray-kuragala-2016

Editorial gloss

Academic documentation of the eight-century-old Sufi shrine at Kuragala/Daftar Jailani (Ratnapura) and the post-2010 sequence of demolition and Buddhist stupa construction over it. McGilvray's chapter is the Tier-A anchor for the cultural-overwriting claim that does NOT rely on Tamil-advocacy sources alone.
