Vihara Construction and Archaeological Appropriation in the Northern and Eastern Provinces (PEARL / Oakland / Adayaalam evidence cluster)

PEARL · Oakland Institute · Adayaalam Centre for Policy Research · Multi-organisation civic-record cluster

tlte-cite:pearl-vihara-construction-ne

Editorial gloss

Cross-organisational documentation of state-funded vihara construction on lands claimed as Hindu temple sites, Tamil-village land, or pre-existing Hindu/Buddhist archaeological complexes in the Northern and Eastern Provinces (Kurunthurmalai/Kurundi, Vedukkunari, Thiriyai, Neeraviyadi, Mullaitivu district sites). The 2020 Presidential Task Force for Archaeological Heritage Management in the Eastern Province (chaired by a Buddhist monk, no Tamil or Muslim members) crystallised the pattern. Civic record only — TLTE does not name individual monks or settlement-scheme officers. Cite PEARL Erased 2024, Oakland Endless War 2024, Adayaalam Normalising the Abnormal 2017.
