    Extractions: ABOUT SRI LANKA Sri Lanka is a multi-ethnic, multi-religious country with a population of 17 million. Her illustrious history dates back 2500 years. From the 16th to the 2oth century, Sri Lanka was colonized successively by the Portuguese, Dutch and the British. The voting franchise for adults was introduced in 1931 . The nation finally gained independence in 1948 and has had democratically elected government ever since. Sri Lanka is an island endowed with natural beauty and a wealth of natural resources. Because of its topography and location in the tropical zone, Sri Lanka has a variety of favorable climates , long sunny spells and the seasonal rains enable crops as tea, rubber. Coconut and spices to flourish. The city of Colombo, with a population of two million, is the financial, commercial and industrial capital, while the political capital lies about five kilometers east of the city in Sri Jayawardenapura. ECONOMY In the past decade, Sri Lanka's economic progress has been quite spectacular, with GDP and GNP figures rising steadily each year this is a direct result of the shift from an agriculture based economy to an industrial one, and the aggressive pro-business stance of the Sri Lanka government.

    Extractions: Recent excavations show that even during the Neolithic Age, there were food gatherers and rice cultivators in Sri Lanka. Very little is known of this period; documented history began with the arrival of the Aryans from North India. The Aryans introduced the use of iron and an advanced form of agriculture and irrigation. They also introduced the art of government. Of the Aryan settlements, Anuradhapura grew into a powerful kingdom under the rule of king Pandukabhaya. According to traditional history he is accepted as the founder of Anuradhapura. During the reign of King Devanampiya Tissa, a descendent of Pandukabhaya, Buddhism was introduced in 247 B.C. by Arahat Mahinda, the son of Emperor Asoka of India. This is the most important event in Sri Lankan history as it set the country on the road to cultural greatness. As a new civilisation flourished Sri Lanka became rich and prosperous. In the mid 2nd century B.C. a large part of north Sri Lanka came under the rule of an invader from South India. From the beginning of the Christian era and up to the end of the 4th century A.D. Sri Lanka was governed by an unbroken dynasty called Lambakarna, which paid great attention to the development of irrigation. A great king of this dynasty, Mahasen (3rd century A.D.) started the construction of large `tanks' or irrigation reservoirs. Another great `tank' builder was Dhatusena, who was put to death by his son Kasyapa who made Sigiriya a royal city with his fortress capital on the summit of the rock.
