Abstract
"In 1958, ten years after gaining independence from almost 500 years of colonial rule, things fell apart in Sri Lanka.1 The two major ethnic groups, the Sinhalese and the Tamils, no longer seemed capable of functioning harmoniously within the nation state. During this year, the ethnic tensions that had escalated after the Sinhala Only Act in 1956 came to a head, and the Tamils and Sinhalese were involved in what turned out to be a series of violent encounters.2 After a decade of relative calm, the 1970s witnessed a gradual increase in militancy among Tamil youth groups, resulting in the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) becoming the dominant militant group among the Tamils. The riots of 1983 further exacerbated the conflict between the two ethnic groups, resulting in armed conflict between government forces and militant groups.3 Until 2009, the conflict between the Sri Lankan government and the LTTE continued, claiming several thousand lives on both sides. Now after sixty years, the ethnic violence appears to have subsided with the defeat of the LTTE in May 2009, but in retrospect it is evident that things did fall apart in 1958."(pg 1)
