What is the state religion of Sri Lanka?

Answer»

In 1948 when Sri Lanka got independence, Sinhala was established as a supreme religion. Later in 1956 Sinhala was declared an official language.

Later when the new constitution was framed, it stipulated Buddhism as a supreme community. At present, Theravada Buddhism is a dominant religion of Sri Lanka with 70% population. Most of the Buddhists speak Sinhala.
