Cunningham's Erroneous Accounts Of Buddhist History
Drawing on colonial records and overlooked evidence, the author reveals how British authorities, confronted by strong resistance from Sri Lankan communities and the unifying influence of the Buddhist Sangha, came to regard Buddhism itself as a source of national cohesion. In response, colonial scholarship gradually shifted key elements of the Buddha's life and legacy away from Sri Lanka, weakening the island's historical and spiritual centrality to the tradition.
