Sri Lanka(Democratic Socialist
Republic of Sri Lanka) is an
island country lying in the

Sri Lanka is a land
of great cultural
diversity. Buddhist
and Hindu temples,
as well as mosques
and churches, with
their own colourful

cultural landscape.
SRI LANKA: CAUSE OF BRITISH ATTRACTION
The British East India Company’s
conquest of Sri Lanka, which the
British called Ceylon, occurred during
the wars of the French Revolution
(1792–1801). When the Netherlands
came under French control, the British
began to move into Sri Lanka from
India. The British had thought the
conquest temporary and administered
the island from Madras in southern
India. The war with France revealed
Sri Lanka’s strategic value, however,
and the British consequently decided
to make their hold on the island
permanent.
SRI LANKA: UNDER BRITISH RULE
They generally used Srilankan resources to
increase the productivity of coffee,rubber,tea etc.
They introduced changes in agricultural practices
and horticultural techniques, but these
developments were essentially restricted to the
urban areas and the plantation country. The rest
of the country continued with subsistence
farming, using traditional methods. However,
roads and railways helped to reduce the isolation
of the villages, and increased trade gradually
pulled the rural population into the monetary
economy.
SRI LANKA : TOWARDS INDEPENDENCE
In 1919, major Sinhalese and Tamil
political organisations united to form
the Ceylon National Congress, under
the leadership of Ponnambalam
Arunachalam, pressing colonial
masters for more constitutional
reforms. The Sri Lankan independence
movement was a peaceful political
movement which aimed at achieving
independence and self-rule for Sri
Lanka, then Ceylon, from the British
Empire. It was initiated around the turn
of the 20th century and led mostly by
the educated middle class. It
succeeded when, on February 4, 1948,
Ceylon was granted autonomy as the
Dominion of Ceylon. Afterwards, it
