Husky at the mass level there are many Hindu practices among Sinhalese including the worship of Hindu deities but there has been a section of Buddhist clergy (not all of them) that have done some anti Hindu activities, some Sinhalese (whether Buddhist or xtian) have destroyed several Hindu mandirs wilfully because they hated Tamils although it is not a religious conflict, just like the Muslims in the East have destroyed several kovils under the Muslim home guards even though LTTE did not use any religious reasons to expel them from Jaffna.
Also the lankan gov't has taken an anti Indian position (as in 1971) several times.
