    Journal of Social Sciences and Humanities Review (JSSHR) Vol. 3, Issue. 2 (101-123) © Author(s) June 2018 ISSN: 2279-3933 FROM DEFICIENCY TO AFFLUENCE: DYNAMICS OF KANDYAN PEASANTRIES AND THE RISE OF RURAL CASTE ELITE IN SRI LANKA K.A Samitha Udayanga1 Abstract During the past few decades, enormous changes in Kandyan peasantries 1 Department of have caused its restructuration, though some significant older structures Sociology, University of still remain intact swaying people’s behaviour. For example, attitudes toward the caste have been changed tremendously, but again it plays a Ruhuna-Sri Lanka significant role in contemporary rural Sri Lanka. Therefore, this paper [email protected] focuses on how people in Kandyan peasantries have been involved in the market-oriented development process, and in particular, why the low- https://orcid.org/0000- caste people in Kandyan highland peasantries benefitted from education, 0002-9826-691X once they have secured their economic gains while the high caste people have not. The research conducted using ethnomethodology reveals that the rural sector in Sri Lanka has undergone a convincing transition, while some traditional institutions were preserved. Within this transition, as the authoritative identity of the high caste people disturbed their education, in turn, prevented their upward mobility that of the low caste communities. Moreover, the market economy stimulated the upward mobility of low caste people in the contemporary Kandyan peasantries. As the market economy prevails in the country, some specific tasks performed by the low castes became market-oriented that and hastened the rise of rural elite from the low castes in Kandyan peasantries.

  • The Sinhalese Contribution to Estate Labour in Ceylon, 1881-1891
    JESHO_667_f1_442-458 9/8/05 10:38 AM Page 442 THE SINHALESE CONTRIBUTION TO ESTATE LABOUR IN CEYLON, 1881-1891 BY ROLAND WENZLHUEMER* Abstract It has become a firmly established belief among economic and labour historians that Sri Lanka’s plantation industry rested almost exclusively on imported Tamil labour during the 19th century. Although strong evidence countering this “dualistic” viewpoint has been produced since the late 1970s—especially by Éric Meyer—, the contribution of the local Sinhalese peasantry to estate wage labour remains underestimated or, indeed, largely ignored. This article strives to support Meyer’s point by bringing together old and new evidence illustrat- ing the at times substantial Sinhalese participation in plantation wage labour. C’est une croyance bien établie parmi les historiens économiques et du travail que l'industrie de la plantation du Sri Lanka reposait presque exclusivement sur le travail de la main-d’œu- vre tamoule pendant le 19e siècle. Bien que des indications fortes contre cette perspective “dualiste” aient été produites depuis les années 70—particulièrement par Éric Meyer—, la contribution de la paysannerie locale cinghalaise au travail salarié dans les plantations reste sous-estimée, ou en grande partie ignorée. Cet article tâche de soutenir l’opinion de Meyer en rassemblant des indications vieilles et nouvelles illustrant la participation cinghalaise parfois substantielle au travail salarié dans les plantations. Keywords: Sri Lanka, Labour History, Sinhalese Labour, Migrant Labour, Plantation Wage Labour INTRODUCTION Historical works on the composition and social structure of the labour force on 19th-century Ceylonese export crop plantations have long propagated the myth that this workforce consisted almost exclusively of “imported” Tamil labourers.

  • Cultural Construction of the 'Sinhala Woman' and Women's Lives in Post-Independence Sri Lanka
    Cultural Construction of the 'Sinhala Woman' and Women's Lives in Post-Independence Sri Lanka Janaki Jayawardena Ph.D. University Of York Centre for Women's Studies October 2002 2 You are dOing this (research) because there is a reason for it. Otherwise you could have stayed at home surrounded by your family. But you left them and are doing this work because it will do good to someone. I hope I may have a chance to read the book (thesis) you write. Podi (Age 54, Badulla) 3 Abstract This thesis examines the lives of Sinhala women in postcolonial Sri Lanka, particularly the cultural construction of the 'Sinhala woman' as an aspect of the 'invented tradition' during the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. In order to historicise gender and culture I examine the pre - colonial and colonial period and also focus my attention on a set of informal restrictions working to constrain women's equal participation in economic, social and political activities, which the Sinhala community identifies as a part and parcel of the 'culture and tradition'. This thesis uses life histories of sixty-four women and life cycle and life course approaches to analyse the data. The first chapter sets the context of the study. The second chapter discusses childhood in order to examine how girls come to understand that they are different from boys. The third chapter discusses an important milestone in Sinhala women's lives, attaining puberty, where the 'traditions' they learn become meaningful and reinforce gender differences. The fourth chapter discusses how and why the 'tradition' was invented.
