Sirima–Shastri Pact
The Sirima–Shastri Pact or Srimavo-Shastri Pact (also known as the ''Indo-Ceylon Agreement'' and ''Bandaranaike-Shastri Pact'') was an agreement that was signed between Sirimavo Bandaranaike, the Prime Minister of Sri Lanka, and Lal Bahadur Shastri, the Prime Minister of India, on 30 October 1964. Officially, it was known as ''Agreement on Persons of Indian Origin in Ceylon''. It was a significant agreement in determining the status and future of people of Indian origin in Ceylon.〔
== Background ==
During the British rule, Tamils from Tamil Nadu were recruited to work in tea, coffee and coconut plantations of Ceylon.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=Sri Lanka profile )〕 Due to continuous recruitment and population growth, of Indian Tamils constituted 13.5 percent (602,700) of the total population in 1921. By 1936, Indian Tamils numbered 1,123,000, 15.3 percent of the total population in 1936,〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=Population by ethnic group and census years )〕 and many of them were non-citizens of Ceylon.
Sinhalese nationalists resented the growth of the Tamil population and pressured the government to send them back to India. Therefore the government introduced the Ceylon Citizenship Bill. The act came into force in 1948, and it granted citizenship to about 5,000 Indian Tamils. However, more than 700,000 people (about 11%) were either non-citizens of Ceylon or became stateless. The Indian and Pakistani Residents Citizenship Act (1949)〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=About us: Department of Immigration and Emigration )〕 also failed to solve the issues. In 1954, the Nehru-Kotelawala Pact was signed to deal with the same issue. Nevertheless, the issue remained unsolved. In 1962, there were nearly 975,000 people, classified by Ceylon as "Indian nationals" and by India as "stateless". Although India denied any legal responsibility for these people, it acknowledged a "sentimental interest" in them.
