<br/><br/> An increasing trend in Buddhist radicalism across South and Southeast Asia has reached global attention. The author focuses on the rise of the Bodu Bolu Sena and Ma Ba Tha groups, causing series of violent clashes with the Muslim population and the brewing of Islamophobia. He proposes the need for a national identity that is inclusive and peaceful, with political leaders taking a stand against intolerant narratives to mitigate long-term upset.
