Abstract

Though Sri Lanka is an independent country once it was colonized by the Portuguese, Dutch, and British. The economic field can be pointed out as an area where changes occurred during that period. The different monopoly at that time was under the Muslims. Then the purpose of this research was to find out if there were challenges to the economy of the Muslims after the arrival of the British. The review of this research was conducted using secondary sources.  What was possible was that the British worked with the Muslims to gain a trade monopoly and the Sinhala rulers who were jealous of the friendship between the British and the Muslims interfered with the economic activities of the Muslims. It can be confirmed from this research that the Muslims faced economic challenges during British rule.
