WWW Virtual Library - Sri Lanka SRI LANKA - POST COLONIAL HISTORY INDEPENDENCE The British negotiated the island's dominion status with the leader of the State Council, D.S. Senanayake, during World War II. Senanayake was also minister of agriculture and vice chairman of the Board of Ministers. The negotiations ended with the Ceylon Independence Act of 1947, which formalized the transfer of power. Senanayake was the founder and leader of the United National Party (UNP), a partnership of many disparate groups formed during the Donoughmore period, including the Ceylon National Congress, the Sinhala Maha Sabha, and the Muslim League. The UNP easily won the 1947 elections, challenged only by a collection of small, primarily leftist parties. On February 4, 1948, when the new constitution went into effect (making Sri Lanka a dominion), the UNP embarked on a ten-year period of rule. Divisions in the Body Politic The prospects for an economically robust, fully participatory, and manageable democracy looked good during the first years of independence. In contrast to India, which had gained independence a year earlier, there was no massive violence and little social unrest. In Sri Lanka there was also a good measure of governmental continuity. Still, important unresolved ethnic problems soon had to be addressed. The most immediate of these problems was the "Indian question," which concerned the political status of Tamil immigrants who worked on the highland tea plantations. The Soulbury Commission had left this sensitive question to be resolved by the incoming government.

You are here allRefer Reference Sri Lanka History ... Sri Lanka Sri Lanka Introduction Figure 1. Administrative Divisions of Sri Lanka, 1988 Sri Lanka was not immune to the spirit of the global and monumental change that swept the world in the late 1980s, promising to usher in a new international order in the 1990s. Indeed, at this writing events on the troubled island nation somehow seemed more under control than they had been in the immediate past. Yet Sri Lanka still had to cope with many of the same daunting and unresolved security problems that it faced in 1983, when a vicious separatist war broke out in the northa situation later aggravated by an altogether different but equally debilitating insurrection in the south. Sri Lanka's descent into violence was especially disturbing because for many years the nation was considered a model of democracy in the Third World. A nation with one of the world's lowest per capita incomes, Sri Lanka nevertheless had a nascent but thriving free-market economy that supported one of the most extensive and respected education systems among developing countries. Sadly, in 1990 the recollection of a peaceful and prosperous Sri Lanka seemed a distant memory. In their dialog with the government, the Tamil Tigers no longer emphasized full secession and seemed instead to be more intent, in the absence of their Indian adversaries, on consolidating their military and political power over rival Tamil groups. The government, aware that the Tamil Tigers had not formally renounced the concept of a separate Tamil state, however, realized that the hiatus in fighting could end in renewed fighting and in what could ultimately be the "Lebanization" of the country.

General History / Culture Sri Lanka has a recorded history of over 2,500 years. Although there is some evidence that the island was inhabited since prehistoric times, it is believed that the advent of Vijaya, an Indian Prince, with his 700 followers in543 B.C. laid the foundation of the Sinhala race which constitutes the majority of the population of the country today. The next major event in the island's history was the arrival in 307 B.C. of the Buddha's disciple Mahinda, son of Emperor Asoka the Great of India, with the teachings of Lord Buddha. The noble message of the Buddha has run strongly through more than 2,500 years of the religion and history of the island. Compassion that the Buddha taught has influenced the way of life of the people over the centuries. Sri lanka is one of the countries which can boast of 23 centuries of unbroken historical record. Within the pages of the ancient historical chronicles, 'Mahavamsa' and 'Culavamsa', are enshrined for posterity the deeds and achievements of 163 kings and thousands of princes, princesses and monks. The Sinhala royal line reigned supreme in unbroken succession for nearly 2,300 years. King Pandukabhaya who founded the city of Anuradhapura in the North Central part of Sri Lanka was the outstanding ruler of the ancient period. Anuradhapura later became the political capital of the country for nearly 1,000 years. This city was also the spiritual home of Buddhism for nearly 2,300 years.

Photo: REUTERS/ Beawiharta, courtesy www.alertnet.org December 29, 2004 NEW YORKInternational humanitarian agency Church World Service (CWS) announced today that it is expediting more than $900,000 in initial relief supplies and deploying emergency assistance teams to aid in recovery efforts in Sri Lanka and Indonesia, following Sunday’s devastating earthquakes and tsunami that have killed more than 67,000 people in South Asia and areas of coastal East Africa. "Bodies are still being found or washed ashore," said Rick Augsburger, Director of Emergency Response Programs for Church World Service. "About a third of the victims are children, and thousands are still missing," he said. Sunday’s massive earthquakes and tsunami tidal wave that swept away coastlines without warning from Indonesia to Africa are being characterized as the worst natural disaster in recent history. Augsburger said New York-headquartered Church World Service has issued a U.S.-wide fund-raising appeal for survivors of the disaster. "We’ve already deployed rapid response teams in the region and issued initial rapid response grants for relief efforts our partners are undertaking in concert with us in Indonesia and India.
