- Das Kastensystem in Sri Lanka ist ein System der sozialen Schichtung, die vom alten Ceylon bis in die Kolonialzeit und später existierte. Die Spuren des Kastensystems sind im heutigen Sri Lanka immer noch zu sehen. Im Vergleich zu Indien ist es in mancher Hinsicht weniger bedeutend. Es existieren parallele Kastensysteme bei den Singhalesen, den Sri-Lanka-Tamilen, den indische Tamilen und ansatzweise bei den muslimischen Moors. (de)
- The caste systems in Sri Lanka are social stratification systems found among the ethnic groups of the island since ancient times. The models are similar to those found in Continental India, but are less extensive and important for various reasons, although the caste systems still play an important and at least symbolic role in religion and politics. Sri Lanka is often considered to be a casteless or caste-blind society by Indians. The caste systems of Sri Lanka were historically not tied to the religious establishment but rather a tool to service the ruling elite - a model more reminiscent of feudalism in Europe. At least three major, parallel caste systems exist in Sri Lankan society: Sinhalese, Sri Lankan Tamil and Indian Tamils. A universal welfare system that focused on providing education for everyone regardless of background has provided people from lower caste groups similar opportunities to enter jobs previously only frequented by those in upper-caste groups, with younger generations mostly rejecting any pressure to conform to caste-related jobs. The Civil War has also broken down caste barriers as they were seen as an obstacle toward ethnolinguistic unity. (en)
