Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sri Lanka has had a celebrated history, a long colonial past, and since independence in 1948 has passed through a series of crises and political experiments. It has had a remarkable record of voters turning out unpopular governments, often by sweeping margins. On 8 January 2015 voters again performed this feat when Maithripala Sirisena, representing a coalition of disparate parties, defeated Mahinda Rajapaksa for the presidency. Rajapaksa was turning the nation away from its democratic heritage towards authoritarianism and militarism. Independent Sri Lanka’s economy stagnated for decades before it began to grow in the 1980s. It has had significant economic growth since the end of the 26-year war against the separatist Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) in 2009. Although reconciliation between the Sinhalese Buddhist majority and Hindu, Muslim and Christian minorities seems distant, prospects for Sri Lanka seem better than they have been for decades. The Historical Dictionary of Sri Lanka contains a chronology, an introduction, appendixes, and an extensive bibliography. The dictionary section has over 700 cross-referenced entries on important personalities, politics, economy, foreign relations, religion, and culture. This book is an excellent access point for students, researchers, and anyone wanting to know more about Sri Lanka.

Download or read book The traditional Homelands of the Tamils written by K. M. De Silva and published by . This book was released on 1995 with total page 112 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This essay critically examines the arguments advanced in support of Tamil separatist claims for the Northern and Eastern Provinces of Sri Lanka and part of the North-Western Province, a region that the Tamils refer to as their "traditional homelands". The author is a historian and Executive Director of the International Centre for Ethnic Studies in Sri Lanka. The evolution of the concept of Tamil traditional homelands is traced and the validity of the historical references the separatists use to legitimise their claims are evaluated. The author sees these claims as a contemporary example of the development of a political myth, where myth is taken to mean a tale told to justify some aspect of social order, based on a particular interpretation of facts already present in the culture. The final part of the essay looks at the debate about the homelands during the years 1985-1994, a period which closes with Sinhalese political opinion insisting that the current amalgamation of the Northern and Eastern Provinces be undone. Comparisons are made with other separatist claims in Asia, such as those of the Moros in the Philippines.
