    (Department of Sinhala, Faculty of Humanities, University of Kelaniya Sri Lanka, 2023) Balasooriya, B.M. Anjana Iroshan
    Lakdiwa, nicknamed the "Grainhouse of the East", has undergone an economic and social as well as a cultural overflow, which is currently being ridiculed in front of the global people. When we consider this in depth, the caste system in Hela, developed, strong self-sufficient economic and social ties, gradually declined due to the transformation of all factors culturally due to the decay of time. Like the invasions that took place in this country, the friendly migrations can be considered as the main factors that led to the breakdown of the caste system which was fundamentally strong. The amazing information revealed by the ancient archaeological excavations also implies that the economic, social and cultural cores were immeasurably developed based on the profession-based caste system that existed in this country. A review of history reveals that there was not only food and drink but also art, science, culture and civilized society in this country due to the formation of a self-sufficient economic pattern through a production process based on the caste system. The aims and objectives of highlighting the ability to adjust the structural changes of the hidden value systems that can affect the administration of a country to the present and the Sri Lankan caste system is not the social status of people, but their contribution to the economy and culture of the country.
