Ellawala Medhananda Thero is a Sri Lankan politician and a former member of the Parliament of Sri Lanka. As an academic scholar he has published 40 books of academic and archaeological research. Medhananda is known for his right-wing political leanings and hawkish, pro-majoritarian sentiments. His extravagant lifestyle has been the subject of considerable controversy in his native Sri Lanka, a predominantly Buddhist country where monks are traditionally expected to maintain a frugal lifestyle.
