  • Debate Changing Political Dynamics in Sri Lanka: Implications for India-Sri Lanka Relations
    Indian Foreign Affairs Journal Vol. 10, No. 1, January–March 2015, 1-25 DEBATE CHANGING POLITICAL DYNAMICS IN SRI LANKA: IMPLICATIONS FOR INDIA-SRI LANKA RELATIONS The recent Presidential Elections in Sri Lanka have thrown-up totally unexpected results. The incumbent President, Mahinda Rajapaksa – who had gambled in calling for elections two years ahead of schedule – lost. The winner, Maithripala Sirisena who was, till a few months ago, a minister in the Cabinet and a member of the President’s party, walked away to head a 49 party rainbow coalition, and managed to defeat the incumbent. While very few had predicted the outcome almost till the date of voting, the reasons for the dramatic results are now quite clear. Sirisena’s victory margin was indeed thin, but he had made heavy in-roads into the majority Sinhala-Buddhist bastions and, aided by overwhelming support from the minorities – the Tamils and the Muslims – romped home to victory. The aversion to 9 years of almost one-family-rule – one that was becoming more and more authoritarian – was perhaps the main factor. The image of a war- hero who rid the island nation of the scourge of the LTTE did not help Rajapaksa much to retain his post. He was certainly not expected to get the minority Tamil votes, but his failure to address the anti-Muslim activities of Sinhala hard-line groups (like the Bodu Bala Sena) also cost him the traditional votes in that minority segment. While Sirisena has his role cut out in implementing his election promises in his first 100 days, the need to balance competing demands of the 49 rainbow coalition components could stand in the way.

These traditions fostered the development of a political system characterized by broad popular participation in the political process, generally strict observance of legal guarantees of human and civil rights, and an orderly succession of elected governments. Since the early 1980s, however, ethnic polarization and violence threatened to weaken the democratic institutions and erode democratic vaIues. In this unit, we trace the historical background of the present constitution; describe the features of the party system and political processes in Sri Lanka.

  • Enduring Legacy of Former Sri Lankan President Chandrika Bandaranaike Kumaratunga
    November 24 ,2018 Enduring Legacy of Former Sri Lankan President Chandrika Bandaranaike Kumaratunga Authors: Srimal Fernando and Pooja Singh* A long and difficult election journey for uncountable numbers of Sri Lankan politicians and for party supporters of Sri Lanka Freedom party (SLFP) had proceeded in June 1994. That year was a turning point in Sri Lanka’s politics as well as for the SLFP led by Chandrika Bandaranaike Kumaratunga (CBK) the daughter of two Sri Lankan Prime Ministers. Chandrika won the presidential elections by 62.28 percent and where the People’s Alliance (PA), a coalition with SLFP won electorates winning the race in 159 constituencies out of the 160. Immediately, after her swearing in as President, Chandrika seized the initiative and formed a coalition government with leftist parties led by the People’s Alliance (PA). She thus became the Chairperson of the SLFP. Concerns about Sri Lanka’s international legitimacy played an integral role in Chandrika’s policy priorities as soon she became President. At that time, the ethnic conflict and socio-economic well-being of the Sri Lankan multi-cultural society were the fundamental underlying questions the country was facing. Former Sri Lankan President was always grateful for any ideas to solve the ethnic problem no matter where the suggestion came from. Given these features and trends, former Sri Lankan President immediately aspired to solidify the Sri Lankan Foreign Policy. In this context, the Bandaranaike – Nehru and Gandhi relations has been one of the main features in Indo – Lanka relations for the past seventy years. In all of this, President Chandrika appeared to have reflected both perspectives of the rural masses in which she had lived during much of her time in the Island nation and Bandaranaike’s family legacy which she had grown up.
