World Directory of Minorities Asia and Oceania MRG Directory –> Sri Lanka –> Sri Lanka Overview Print Page Close Window Sri Lanka Overview Environment Peoples History Governance Current state of minorities and indigenous peoples Environment The Democratic Socialist Republic of Sri Lanka (formerly known as Ceylon) comprises one large, compact island and several islets, separated from the Indian subcontinent by a strip of sea which at its narrowest point is 40 kilometres and centrally located in the Indian Ocean, lying off the southern tip of India. Sri Lanka is strategically placed in the Indian Ocean, alongside major trading routes from the Far East, Europe as well as from Africa. In contrast to other South Asian countries, Sri Lanka's population has not shown an excessive growth since independence and the country boasts of high social development indicators, including a high literacy rate (by some accounts 96 per cent). Peoples Main languages: Sinhala (official and national language), Tamil (national language), English Main religions: Buddhism, Hinduism, Islam, Christianity Minority and indigenous groups include Sri Lankan Tamils(12.7%) (1981), Indian Tamil (5.5%) (1981) Muslims(7.4%) (1981), Veddhas2,000 (1981 Census), and Burghers (0.3%) (1981). A census was conducted in 2001 however it was not carried out in 7 districts in the conflict area which are all minority populous areas. Sri Lanka has a plural society. The majority group, the Sinhalese, speak a distinctive language (Sinhala) related to the Indo-Aryan tongues of north India, and are mainly Buddhist. There are two groups of Tamils: ‘Sri Lankan Tamils' (also known as ‘Ceylon' or ‘Jaffna' Tamils) are the descendants of Tamil-speaking groups who migrated from south India many centuries ago; and ‘Up Country Tamils' (also known as ‘Indian' or ‘estate' Tamils), who are descendants of comparatively recent immigrants.

Sri Lanka: Background and U.S
Sri Lanka: Background and U.S. Relations K. Alan Kronstadt Specialist in South Asian Affairs Bruce Vaughn Specialist in Asian Affairs June 4, 2009 Congressional Research Service 7-5700 www.crs.gov RL31707 CRS Report for Congress Prepared for Members and Committees of Congress Sri Lanka: Background and U.S. Relations Summary Sri Lanka, an island nation in the Indian Ocean, is a constitutional democracy with a relatively high level of development. Political, social, and economic development has, however, been seriously constrained by ethnic conflict between the majority Sinhalese and minority Tamil ethnic groups. Since 1983, a separatist war costing at least 70,000 lives has been waged against government forces by the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE), a rebel group that sought to establish a separate state or internal self-rule in the Tamil-dominated areas of the North and East. The United States designated the LTTE as a Foreign Terrorist Organization in 1997. Open fighting in this conflict came to a close with the defeat of LTTE field forces and the combat death of their leader Velupillai Prabhakaran in May 2009. The government now faces the challenge of consolidating peace with the Tamil community now that LTTE forces have been defeated. Sri Lanka also suffered a huge natural disaster in December 2004. A massive tidal wave killed up to 35,000 citizens in Sri Lanka’s worst-ever natural disaster. The current state of affairs in Sri Lanka presents the United States and the international community with several key challenges. Chief among these is how to help the government of Sri Lanka to win the peace now that it has won the war against LTTE forces in the field.

Using statistical and historical analyses, this study examines patterns of election-related violence in the war-torn, ethnically divided context of Sri Lanka. This study shows that electoral violence in Sri Lanka is more often the result of inter- party and intra-ethnic competition than it is the result of inter-ethnic rivalries. Since most Sri Lankan districts are ethnically homogeneous and because the Sinhalese constitute the vast majority of the population, most electoral competition occurs between rival Sinhalese parties. Specifically, this dissertation demonstrates the significance of inter-party competition within one ethnic group by showing that there was generally more violence in areas where the vote differences between the top two contenders were smallest, even when both were from the same ethnic group.

WARID: Sri Lanka (JVP) 1987-1990 STARDATE
WARID: Sri Lanka (JVP) 1987-1990 STARDATE: 29 July 19871 ENDDATE: 31 December 19902 Related cases: LTTE (1983-2001) LTTE (2005-2009) Last update: 1 October 2015 Authors: Ben Christian, Mogdeh Rahimi Reviewer: Norbert Ropers Conflict overview After an initial insurrection in 1971, the Janathā Vimukthi Peramuṇa (JVP) re-established itself as the third-largest political party in Sri Lanka in the early 1980s (Moore 1993: 610; Venugopal 2009: 568). A mixture of different political, ideological and economic reasons exist as to why the JVP started a second, far more violent, insurgency against the government represented by the United National Front (UNP) and other established parties at the end of the 1980s. First, the JVP was banned by President Junius Richard Jayawardene in 1983 due to its supposed organization of “communal riots” against Tamil minorities (Moore 1993: 611). The party had to go underground, triggering its radicalization around leader Rohan Wijeweera. Second, similar to the first insurrection in 1971, large-scale ‘educated unemployment’ – especially concerning young Singhalese (Moore 1993: 616) – facilitated mobilization opportunities for the Marxist-Leninist JVP. These effects were amplified by the Indo-Sri Lanka Peace Accord in 1987 and the incoming Indian Peace Keeping Forces in northern Sri Lanka (Moore 1993: 611; Rösel 1997: 238). As a communist and nationalist party, the JVP succeeded in presenting itself as a strong voice against foreign influences and improvements for the Tamil minority. The JVP was therefore successful in becoming a catchment basin for many young Singhalese who held both economic fears and underlying nationalist ideologies. The demands of the JVP were vague and constantly shifting: the resignation of the government, an unconditional basic income, the repatriation of the Indian Tamils, and the retreat of the Indian troops (Rösel 1997: 250).

Joint Statement of Sri Lanka Political Parties on 100Th Anniversary Of
100TH ANNIVERSARY OF THE COMMUNIST PARTY OF CHINA (CPC) Joint Statement of Sri Lanka Political Parties The year 2021 marks the 100th the anniversary of the founding of the CPC. On 23rd July 1921, the inaugural congress of the Communist Party of China (CPC) was held in Shanghai with 13 delegates representing around 50 members of the Party. A century years after its founding, the CPC has grown to more than 91 million members, making it one of the largest political parties in the world. At this joyous occasion, we extend our congratulations to General Secretary Xi Jinping and the Communist Party of China for the tremendous achievements of the CPC over the last 100 years in the history of China, international politics and mankind. The CPC has remained true to its ambition to seek liberation, unification and rejuvenation of the Chinese nation, while building socialism and creating a community with a shared future for mankind. The relentless efforts of the CPC have turned a semi-feudal, semi-colonial country into the second largest economy in the world, while pulling over 700 million people out of poverty and successfully fighting with the COVID-19 pandemic. Under the leadership of the Communist Party, China has been a steadfast friend and ally to the Third World. General Secretary Xi Jinping’s “Belt and Road” Initiative has helped underdeveloped countries develop their infrastructure and forces of production while respecting sovereignty. China’s generosity amid the unprecedented COVID-19 pandemic has been crucial for developing countries struggling to procure anti-epidemic materials and vaccines.

SWRD Bandaranaike: Altered the Course of Sri Lankan Politics
SWRD Bandaranaike: Altered the Course of Sri Lankan Politics 27 May 2020 By Srimal Fernando and Abhishekh Ganesh The year 1951 would change the course of Sri Lankan political history when a split occurred inside the United National Party (UNP). In a astonishing political move SWRD Bandaranaike left his cabinet post and crossed the floor in the Parliament to the opposition. Simultaneously his prevalence started to ascend inside the Sri Lankan masses as Bandaranaike launched a centre-leftist political party called Sri Lanka Freedom Party (SLFP). Sri Lanka Freedom Party (SLFP). This is not really the entire story be that as it may. .Since the political change, a slow but increasing tide of blue wave began when the SLFP membership increased compared to the centre right United National Party (UNP) . This background paved the way for Sinhala nationalists such as S.W.R.D. Bandaranaike, D.A. Rajapaksa and Philip Gunewardena to form an alliance in order to topple the UNP government that was ruling the nation from the time of independence. In Sri Lanka voters do not always behave as predicted and by 1956 the chances of the SLFP backed leftist government coming to power remained very high. On the other hand elections remained a matter of speculation but there was no indication that the United National Party (UNP) had lost any influence with the rural masses of the country. Prime Minister Bandaranaike’s assassination on September 26, 1959 by a Buddhist priest Somarama Thero once again changed Ceylon’s political discourse and its foreign policy directions. The assassination of SWRD Bandaranaike in 1959 led to a decade where the political thinking was divided between the Socialist leaning party and the Western thinking liberal party .
