The Ethnic Conflict in Sri-Lanka assumed a serious dimension when the Island was rocked by widespread riots and gruesome killings of Tamils in 1983. The year 1983 witnessed ethnic conflict in Sri-Lanka resulting from the discriminatory attitude of Sri-Lanka Government since independence towards Tamil minority. The trouble resulted in the macabre killings of many families. It was the highest type of brutality that the annals, of history had ever witnessed. It is since 1950 that the Government of India has been endeavouring to resolve the ethnic conflict in Sri-Lanka as it adversely affected political and economic policies of India in view of the cultural ties between the Tamil families of Sri-Lanka and that of South Indian State of Tami Nadu. This book deals with different dimensions of the conflict like what factors contributed to the creation of the conflict? What are the perceptions and stakes of the Tamils. This book deals with the ethnic problems of Sri-Lanka arising out of Socio-economic and racial divergences which poses a serious threat to the internal stability and security of the state. This book is comprehensive and well researched. It has acquired a new dimension, colour and vigour in academic analysis and research. This book is much for scholars, and students and all others interested in the study of ethnic conflict. In my view, this book will constitute a long-term source of reference to future students dealing with the issue.
