Abstract: Abstract For most observers today Sri Lanka is a country consigned to endless violence and the most brutal ethnic warfare witnessed anywhere in the past two decades. But it was not always so. Sri Lanka had made a smooth transition to democracy in 1948, and throughout the early years of independence and subsequently in the 1950s and 1960s, native and foreign ethnographers routinely praised Sri Lanka for cultural and political tolerance.
