Abstract

The article discusses the recent victory of the JVP-led NPP coalition in Sri Lanka's general election and its implications for Tamil political demands. Despite the NPP's success in Tamil areas, it is unlikely to address the Tamil national question due to its historical anti-Tamil stance and Sinhalese nationalist ideology. The NPP government may offer economic incentives to Tamils but is not expected to take bold steps towards meaningful devolution of power or addressing long-standing Tamil grievances.
