Sri Lanka should be renamed “Sinhale” with Sinhalese Buddhists being recognised as the historical and national race of the country said the Buddhist organisation Bodu Bala Senha (BBS).
The BBS said that the island had only one race, the Sinhalese, and that whilst freedom of religion would remain, the propagation of religions other than Buddhism would be forbidden reports Ceylon Today.
The organisation also called for the abolishment of the executive presidency within the next 6 years and the appointment of a national spiritual leader entitled the “Sangharaja Mahanayake Thera.”
