The Veddha minority in Sri Lanka is in threat of becoming extinct. It has been hypothesized that the Vedda were probably the earliest inhabitants of Sri Lanka and have lived on the island since before the arrival of Vijaya and his clan from India. The Mahavansa relates that following the repudiation of Kuveni by Vijaya, in favour of a Kshatriya - caste princess from Pandya , their two children, a boy and a girl, departed to the region of Sumanakuta Sri Pada or Adam's Peak in the Ratnapura District , where they multiplied, giving rise to the Veddas. Veddas are also mentioned in Robert Knox 's history of his captivity by the King of Kandy in the 17th century. Knox described them as "wild men", but also said there was a "tamer sort", and that the latter sometimes served in the king's army.
