Born into a Sinhalese <a href="/wiki/Kingdom_of_Kandy" title="Kingdom of Kandy">Kandyan</a> aristocratic family, Bandaranaike was educated in Catholic, <a href="/wiki/English-medium_education" title="English-medium education">English-medium schools</a>, but remained a <a href="/wiki/Buddhism" title="Buddhism">Buddhist</a> and spoke Sinhala as well as English. On graduating from secondary school, she worked for various social programmes before marrying and raising a family. Playing hostess to her husband <a href="/wiki/S._W._R._D._Bandaranaike" title="S. W. R. D. Bandaranaike">S. W. R. D. Bandaranaike</a>, who founded the socialist SLFP in 1951 and became prime minister in 1956, she gained his trust as an informal advisor. Her social work focused on improving the lives of women and girls in rural areas of Sri Lanka. Following her husband's <a href="/wiki/Assassination_of_S._W._R._D._Bandaranaike" title="Assassination of S. W. R. D. Bandaranaike">assassination in 1959</a>, Bandaranaike was soon persuaded by the party leadership during a brief time in opposition to join active politics and succeed her husband as chairwoman; she returned her party to the government and defeated prime minister <a href="/wiki/Dudley_Senanayake" title="Dudley Senanayake">Dudley Senanayake</a>'s <a href="/wiki/United_National_Party" title="United National Party">UNP</a> in the <a href="/wiki/July_1960_Ceylonese_parliamentary_election" title="July 1960 Ceylonese parliamentary election">July 1960 election</a>. She was then unseated by Senanayake in the <a href="/wiki/1965_Ceylonese_parliamentary_election" title="1965 Ceylonese parliamentary election">1965 election</a> and became <a href="/wiki/Leader_of_the_Opposition" title="Leader of the Opposition">Leader of the Opposition</a>, before winning a large majority in <a href="/wiki/1970_Ceylonese_parliamentary_election" title="1970 Ceylonese parliamentary election">1970</a> due to a cleverly structured election alliance with rival <a href="/wiki/Marxism" title="Marxism">Marxist</a> parties. Bandaranaike attempted to reform the former <a href="/wiki/Dominion_of_Ceylon" title="Dominion of Ceylon">Dominion of Ceylon</a> into a socialist republic by <a href="/wiki/Nationalization" title="Nationalization">nationalising</a> organisations in the banking, education, industry, media and trade sectors. Changing the administrative language from English to Sinhala and routinely campaigning on Sinhalese nationalist and anti-Tamil policies, which was political mainstream, she exacerbated discontent among the <a href="/wiki/Sri_Lankan_Tamils" title="Sri Lankan Tamils">native Tamil</a> population, and with the <a href="/wiki/Indian_Tamils_of_Sri_Lanka" title="Indian Tamils of Sri Lanka">estate Tamils</a>, who had become stateless under the <a href="/wiki/Ceylon_Citizenship_Act" title="Ceylon Citizenship Act">Citizenship Act of 1948</a>. During Bandaranaike's first two terms as prime minister, the country was plagued by high inflation and taxes, a dependence on food imports to feed the populace, high unemployment, and polarisation between the Sinhalese and Tamil populations because of her Sinhalese nationalist policies. Surviving an attempted <a href="/wiki/1962_Ceylonese_coup_d%27%C3%A9tat_attempt" class="mw-redirect" title="1962 Ceylonese coup d'état attempt">coup d'état</a> in 1962, as well as a <a href="/wiki/1971_JVP_insurrection" title="1971 JVP insurrection">1971 insurrection</a> of radical youths, in 1972 she oversaw the drafting of a new constitution and the formation of the Sri Lankan republic, separating it from the <a href="/wiki/British_Empire" title="British Empire">British Empire</a> and also extending the parliamentary period until 1977. In 1975, Bandaranaike created what would eventually become the Sri Lankan <a href="/wiki/Ministry_of_Women_and_Child_Affairs" class="mw-redirect" title="Ministry of Women and Child Affairs">Ministry of Women and Child Affairs</a>, also appointing the first woman to serve in the Sri Lankan Cabinet aside from herself. Bandaranaike's tenure was marked by inadequate economic development at the national level. She played a large role abroad as a negotiator and a leader among the <a href="/wiki/Non-Aligned_Movement" title="Non-Aligned Movement">Non-Aligned Nations</a>. Losing against <a href="/wiki/J._R._Jayewardene" title="J. R. Jayewardene">J. R. Jayewardene</a> in a colossal landslide in the <a href="/wiki/1977_Sri_Lankan_parliamentary_election" title="1977 Sri Lankan parliamentary election">1977 election</a> and as the UNP government greatly reduced democratic rights, Bandaranaike was stripped of her civil rights in 1980 for claimed abuses of power during her tenure and barred from government for seven years, making her ineligible for the <a href="/wiki/1982_Sri_Lankan_presidential_election" title="1982 Sri Lankan presidential election">1982 presidential election</a> in the new presidential system. The new government initially improved the domestic economy, but failed to address social issues, and led the country into a protracted <a href="/wiki/Sri_Lankan_civil_war" title="Sri Lankan civil war">civil war</a> against <a href="/wiki/Liberation_Tigers_of_Tamil_Eelam" title="Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam">Tamil militants</a>, which escalated in brutality over the years, especially when the <a href="/wiki/Indian_Peace_Keeping_Force" title="Indian Peace Keeping Force">Indian Peace Keeping Force</a> was allowed to intervene. When she was allowed to return as a public figure in 1986, Bandaranaike opposed the Indian intervention, believing it violated Sri Lankan sovereignty. Failing to win the office of President against new UNP leader <a href="/wiki/Ranasinghe_Premadasa" title="Ranasinghe Premadasa">Ranasinghe Premadasa</a> in <a href="/wiki/1988_Sri_Lankan_presidential_election" title="1988 Sri Lankan presidential election">1988</a>, she restored her party, which had by now developed more centrist policies and advocated for a reconciliatory approach towards Tamils in the civil war, as a relevant force in the <a href="/wiki/1989_Sri_Lankan_parliamentary_election" title="1989 Sri Lankan parliamentary election">first parliamentary election</a> after 12 years and served a second time as <a href="/wiki/Leader_of_the_Opposition_(Sri_Lanka)" title="Leader of the Opposition (Sri Lanka)">Leader of the Opposition</a> from 1989 to 1994.
