Mahinda Rajapaksa, the second son in a family of six brothers and three sisters, was born in Weeraketiya in Sri Lanka's Deep South, on November 18, 1945, and was brought up from his early years in keeping with Sinhala-Buddhist tradition. Family tradition was also seen with his first schooling at Richmond College, in the southern city of Galle, where his father and uncle, and cousins who also entered politics, were first schooled. His education was later shifted to Nalanda College and Thurstan College in Colombo. He later studied law at the Colombo Law College, and qualified as an Attorney-at-Law. He took oaths as an Attorney-at-Law in November 1977, and has evinced a keen interest in human rights aspects of law.

Throughout his student days he continued his links with the peasants of the south, and was no stranger to the paddy fields and the agricultural livelihoods of the people. With Sri Lanka having a strong leftwing movement at the time of his student days in Colombo, Mahinda also participated in many of the leftwing and radical protest and agitation movements.

He was 24 years, when first elected to Parliament as an SLFP member, from the Beliatta electorate in 1970. He was then the youngest Member of Parliament and represented the same electorate his father did from his first election in 1947 and several subsequent polls till his death in 1965. He practiced law mainly in the southern town of Tangalle from 1977 to 1994 which kept him closely in touch with the people and their needs, and also the development needs of the southern region, until his appointment as a Minister in 1994. He lost his parliamentary seat in the landslide victory of the UNP in 1977. In the parliamentary election that followed in 1989 (after the UNP had extended its term by six years through a questionable referendum) he was re-elected to Parliament from the Hambantota District under proportional representation, and held this position until he bade farewell to Parliament as Executive President in November 2005.
