Abstract:
Peace is a concept of societal friendship and harmony in the absence of
hostility and violence. By using peace if someone making one view or belief
compatible with others; it can be called reconciliation. After 30 years of ethnic
war, Sri Lanka is in a stage of the reconciliation process. This particular study
will discuss the process of peace and reconciliation with special reference to
the post-war period in Sri Lanka after 2009. To achieve aforesaid objectives
qualitative approach has been used and secondary data is the main type of data
obtained from various sources such as books, journal articles, newspapers and
other relevant documents available in both printed and electronic versions.
This study can identify as a desk study. Through the study, it has been
identified that the vacuum left by the 30 years of ethnic conflict has seemingly
been filled by the majority of the country. The victory mind set of the majority
and the minds of minorities made a gap of unity and triggered mutual
suspicions between each other. Marginalization and discrimination directly
impact reconciliation and by making discussions between people, identify the
key issues and address them as the government and by formulating a common
mechanism to fight against all sorts of ethnic groups. The peace and
reconciliation process in Sri Lanka has huge gaps and barrios to maintain
sustainable development goals as well as identify the barrios to make and
maintain the peace and reconciliation process in the country.
