	Asia Times: Chapter 17: Assassination of Bandaranaike
		Bandaranaike, Solomon West Ridgeway Dias (1899-1959), the prime minister of Ceylon (1956-59), whose election marked a significant change socially and ethnically in the political history of modern Ceylon, was born on January 8.
		Felix Dias Bandaranaike, A P Jaysuriya, Maitripala Senanayake and the leader of the party, C P De Silva, agreed with the ITAK that if the SLFP was called on to form the Government, the leaders assured to include in the Throne Speech, the Bandaranaike-Chelvanayakam Agreement of 1957, as the policy statement of the government.
		Srimavo Bandaranaike, the widow of the slain leader of the SLFP, was sworn in as the Prime Minister.

	The Hindu : Opinion / Leader Page Articles : In Sri Lanka, dynasty at the crossroads
		WHEN SOLOMON West Ridgeway Dias Bandaranaike, an Oxford-educated lawyer, began the Sri Lanka Freedom Party over half a century ago, he may not have thought he was setting the foundations for a modern-day political dynasty, the democratic world's first.
		Bandaranaike's return to the SLFP lacked the stamp of authority that his sister's had, and he would find himself challenged repeatedly within the party.
		It is a delicious twist, very novel-like, that a Bandaranaike comeback to the centre-stage of SLFP politics, and to the politics of the country, could now depend on the victory of arch-enemy Wickremesinghe.

		Bandaranaike came from a family of Westernized Sinhalese and was educated at Oxford, but early in his political career, he rejected many of the Western elements of his background and embraced the Buddhist faith and adopted native garb (regarded at the time as an affectation among members of his class).
