	Kingdom of Sri Vijaya - MSN Encarta
		Kingdom of Sri Vijaya, powerful Malay kingdom that dominated the maritime trade of Southeast Asia for some 500 years.

		A great raid on Sri Vijaya by the Cholas of India in 1025 left the kingdom temporarily crippled, thus allowing Airlangga, king of East Java, to regain his patrimony, but it soon recovered, although it never achieved its previous power.

	US Sri Lanka Fulbright Commission - Sri Lanka - an Overview
		Sri Lankan society came to be - and continues to be - divided into two clear-cut groups on the basis of English and these are its English-speaking and the Swabasha or indigenous language speaking segments.
		In a heterogeneous society such as Sri Lanka is, this elite was drawn from all ethnic groupings and English education for a brief period seemed to be the unifying influence in post-British Sri Lanka.
		The unpardonable lapse of not according to the Tamil language in 1956 the status conferred on Sinhala that year and the failure to implement a sound island-wide English teaching programme served to undermine the early success of the free education system and the initial benefits derived from it could therefore not be sustained.
