The first people to inhabit Sri
Lanka, called Ceylon until 1972, were tribal people from India called the
Veddahs. Vijaya, a prince from northern India, came, with the other
founders of the Sinhalese culture, to Sri Lanka in the early 400's B.C.,
and enc ouraged the first major immigration movement there. The center of
this Sinhalese civilization, that lasted from 200 B.C. until A.D. 993, was
Anuradhapura, a city in Northern Sri Lanka that housed the major shrines
and irrigation projects that the Sinhale se developed. In the 100's B.C.
the Tamils from southern India began invading Sri Lanka, and eventually
gained control of the northern half of the island, pushing the Sinhalese
to the south. From the A.D. 900's until the 1500's, Sri Lanka's history
cent ers mostly on the struggles between the Tamil kings and the Sinhalese
kings.
