Meaning of the term
To the anonymous editors who've been changing this article - Sinhalisation has a specific meaning, namely, the supposed assimilation of groups who were originally not Sinhalese into the Sinhala people, and the post-independence move to create a specifically Sinhala public culture for Sri Lanka. The cited sources bear this out.
If you think this article lacks balance, do feel free to discuss your concerns, or to add information from reliable sources which contest the notion of Sinhalisation. But the edits you've been making are simply factually incorrect, and make no sense (how on earth can you call the Sri Lankan Sinhalese an "ethno-cultural minority" in Sri Lanka, as you did in this edit?) -- Arvind (talk) 23:46, 24 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
In my opinion Sinhalization is the right term.Sinhalization has been a method, a mechanism in the history of Sri Lanka since time immemorial. This is something that can be interpreted as a lengthy analysis. --RsEkanayake14:19, 3 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Sinhalization is the assimilation into Sinhalese Culture in which the members of an ethno-cultural group are steadily integrated or "absorbed" into already established Sinhalese culture.Sinhalaization means localizing something into Sinhala. This is an ancient Sinhala royal law. Sinhalaization is a must. If the foreigners who came to the Sinhalese land for various reasons do not leave Sri Lanka, Sinhalaization is a mandatory law. , it is the mandatory law to undergo full Sinhalaization within three generations.
History shows that a large number of soldiers brought from India by the Sinhalese kings for internal wars became Sinhalese. The Sinhalese nation does not come from a genetic generation, the Sinhalese nation is maintained through Sinhalaization, and today this system is also used in America. the cultural, social and other matters peculiar to the Sinhala society are steadily adopted . Therefore, Sinhalaization is a concept that should be used more widely than just localization to Sinhala. RsEkanayake06:42, 7 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
