| Background:Occupied by the Portuguese
in the 16th century and the Dutch in the 17th century, the island was
ceded to the British in 1802. As Ceylon it became independent in 1948;
its name was changed in 1972. Tensions between the Sinhalese majority
and Tamil separatists erupted in violence in the mid-1980s. Tens of thousands
have died in an ethnic war that continues to fester. |
| Sri Lanka A country in southern Asia, which is an island in the Indian Ocean, southeast of India. Population: 18,400,000 (1995). Capital: Colombo. Sri Lanka was formerly called Ceylon, and it was ruled by Britain from 1798 to 1948. About 70% of the population are Sinhalese, who are mostly Buddhists. The other main group are the Tamils, who are mostly Hindus, and many of them want to become independent from Sri Lanka. A group called the Tamil Tigers sometimes uses violent methods to support its demands for independence. |
