Dutagemunu is a Hindu Tamil- A bitter pill to swallow
(November 23, Colombo, Sri Lanka Guardian) According to a well researched historical record tabulated about rulers of Lanka before the birth of Christ published in the Wikipedia, king Dutugemunu is claimed to be a Hindu (Saivaite) Tamil. The record confirm his real name as Suthahaman Abayan and he is the son of Kakka Vanna Thasan and the brother of Devanambiatissan.
If this revelation is upheld the Mahavamsa claim that he was a Sinhalese king of Lanka will be defeated. The historical battle between the two kings Suthahaman Abayan (Dutugemunu) and Ellaran must have been a war between two Tamil kings in Sri Lanka.
