2,500 years ago, Aryans from northern India immigrated to Ceylon to establish the Sinhalese dynasty. In 247 BC, King Ashoka of the Peacock Dynasty of India sent his son to the island to promote Buddhism. Since then, Sinhalese people have abandoned Brahmanism and converted to Buddhism. Around the 2nd century BC, Tamils in South India also began to migrate and settled in Ceylon. From the 5th century to16th century, there was constant war between Sinhalese Kingdom and Tamil Kingdom on the island.
