Caste system in Sri Lanka
In
Sri Lanka
a
caste-based
social stratification
system can be seen among its two major ethnic groups (the
Sinhalese
and the
Sri Lankan Tamils
), who have roots dating back over 2,000 years. A
caste
system was extensive from the
ancient history of Sri Lanka
to the
colonial era
. Although it is less extensive and important than it has been, 90 percent of the population still recognizes the system.
