The official name of Sri Lanka is ‘The Democratic Socialist Republic of Sri Lanka’. Sri Lanka is often known as the ‘Pearl of the Indian Ocean’. The official languages of Sri Lanka are Sinhala and Tamil. However, English is widely spoken in the country. Sri Lanka is known to be a very popular destination for tourists, surrounded on all four sides by water and shaped in the form of a tear-drop. Sri Lanka is an island-nation situated in the Indian Ocean, off the south-eastern coast shores of India.
The climate is sunny and rainy which is best suited as it is a tropical country. Sri Lanka is a multi-religious and multi-ethnic nation, 75% of the population grasps Buddhism and the people there are exceedingly religious. Buddhists temples are like mushrooms everywhere, and devotees would bring offerings every morning or evening. The strong religious beliefs have influenced their way of life where they live in a very calm and peaceful environment apart from the previous wars caused by the Tamil Tigers. But those wars are long over, or at least for the past four years, there has been no violent attacks reported. You could still see a few armed soldiers outside of the airport for security reasons but it isn’t alarming.
After gaining independence in 1948, the nation has progressed to quite an extent. Today, it boasts of being a modern industrial economy that has one of the highest per capita incomes in South Asia.
