Sri Lanka
After five centuries of colonial rule, Sri Lanka became independent in 1948 and the Republic was founded in 1972. An interesting ethnic mix coexists in the country including 74% Sinhalese, 12.6% Tamil, 5.5 % of Indian Tamils, 7.1% of Moors and 0.3% of Malaysians (also Muslims), 0.3 of "Burghers" (citizens of European origin) and 0.3% of other origins. The four main religions are represented in the following measure: Buddhists (69%), Hindus (15.5%), Christians (7.5%) and Muslims (7.9%).
History and legend, monuments and memorials, temples and processions, myths and folklore, fables and parables, philosophy and religion, the arts of government and war, the morals and narrative of present-day Sri Lanka reveal the history of a country reached a turning point, between the disappearance of an ancient civilization and a new culture that is making its way.
