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.
The Sri Lankan caste system was influenced by the ''varnas'' of North India and the jāti system of South India, particularly Tamil Nadu; the caste system of Andhra Pradesh, Kerala and Karnataka is primarily influenced by the ''varnas''.〔(Castes & Tribes at the time of Sanghamitta ), Populations of the Saarc Countries: Bio-Cultural Perspectives, by Jayanta Sarkar and G. C. Ghosh, p.73〕〔(Polonnaruwa Galpotha inscription ), CONCISE MAHAVAMSA: p. 107, by Mahānāma Thero and Dhammakitti Thero, edited by Wihelm Greiger (Publisher: Ruwan Rajapakse), ISBN 9780972865708〕〔( Madras journal of literature and science, Volume 13 ), Madras Literary Society and Auxiliary of the Royal Asiatic Society, p.41 (Nabu Press) ISBN 9781173048129〕 The occupations of ancient community groups have been linked to the development of castes, although the island's indigenous Veddha community avoided the system.〔(Vadda of Sri Lanka ), Accessed 13-06-2015〕 Ancient Sri Lankan texts, such as the ''Pujavaliya'', ''Sadharmaratnavaliya'', ''Yogaratnakaraya'' and inscriptions, show that the castes existed throughout the feudal period. Evidence of caste hierarchy can be seen during the 18th century British-Kandyan period,〔''Kadayimpoth'' - Boundary Books〕 indicating its continuation after the Sri Lankan monarchy. Three major, parallel caste systems exist in Sri Lankan society: Sinhala, Sri Lankan Tamil, and Indian Tamil.〔
