  • THE CITY of JAYAWARDENA KOTTE: Mstory, FORM and FUNCTIONS.*
    THE CITY OF JAYAWARDENA KOTTE: mSTORY, FORM AND FUNCTIONS.* See friend, proud city of Jayawardena, Renowned by victories achieved, Outvying the city of the gods in luxury, Where live rich folk who adore the triple gem with faith. Salalihini Sandesa Introduction The city of Jayawardena Kotte followed the inevitable pattern of a typical defence city. It emerged due to the needs of a critical era in history, attained its zenith under a powerful ruler and receded into oblivion when its defence mechanism and the defenders were weak. The purpose of Jb.is essay is to understand this pattern with emphasis on its form and functions. In the latter respect the essay differs from the writings on Kotte by G.P. V. Somaratna' and C.R. de Silva." whose primary attention was on the political history of the city. It also differs from the writings of E.W. Perera," D.O. Ranasinghe," C.M. de Alwis' and G.S. Wickramasuriya,? whose interest was mainly the archaeological remains of the city, its architecture and the preservation of its ruins. * An earlier draft of this paper was presented at the 12th Conference of the International Association of Historians of Asia, 24 - 28 June, 1991, held at the University of Hong Kong.

  • Chatting Sri Lanka: Powerful Communications in Colonial Times
    Chatting Sri Lanka: Powerful Communications in Colonial Times Justin Siefert PhD 2016 Chatting Sri Lanka: Powerful Communications in Colonial Times Justin Siefert A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements of the Manchester Metropolitan University for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of History, Politics and Philosophy Manchester Metropolitan University 2016 Abstract: The thesis argues that the telephone had a significant impact upon colonial society in Sri Lanka. In the emergence and expansion of a telephone network two phases can be distinguished: in the first phase (1880-1914), the government began to construct telephone networks in Colombo and other major towns, and built trunk lines between them. Simultaneously, planters began to establish and run local telephone networks in the planting districts. In this initial period, Sri Lanka’s emerging telephone network owed its construction, financing and running mostly to the planting community. The telephone was a ‘tool of the Empire’ only in the sense that the government eventually joined forces with the influential planting and commercial communities, including many members of the indigenous elite, who had demanded telephone services for their own purposes. However, during the second phase (1919-1939), as more and more telephone networks emerged in the planting districts, government became more proactive in the construction of an island-wide telephone network, which then reflected colonial hierarchies and power structures. Finally in 1935, Sri Lanka was connected to the Empire’s international telephone network. One of the core challenges for this pioneer work is of methodological nature: a telephone call leaves no written or oral source behind.

  • A Review of Caste Consideration in the Public Service by the Dutch and the British Officials in the Maritime Provinces of Sri Lanka up to 1850
    Rohana (1991) 3, 31 — 65 A Review of Caste Consideration in the Public Service by the Dutch and the British Officials in the Maritime Provinces of Sri Lanka up to 1850. M . U . D e S ilva The imposition of foreign dominance over the long established social order of the littorals of Sri Lanka had a disruptive effect resulting in a signi­ ficant change. The society for centuries had been the atomized village com­ munity guided by the precepts of Buddhism under benevolent rulers who up­ held the traditional law, and a socio-economic and an administrative order based on a system of exchange of labour service defined by traditions of caste. Some of these castes were organised on the basis of essential crafts, occupations and ritual services. The colonial policy of the Western powers was moulded mainly by the economic and religious considerations. They were interested in obtaining the local produce, at the lowest cost, to be traded in European or Asian markets. The Portuguese, who first held sway over the Sri Lankan littorals, made use of the ready-made machinery of the local rulers for the exploitation of the econo­ mic resources of the country. In dealing with the natives the alien rulers were careful not to make sudden changes in the system. But in due course, they stretched the customary services and obligatory duties of the caste system to meet their economic and political requirements. They apportioned the Royal Villages,1 and Vihara2 Devdlagama among their officials and churches, who in turn enjoyed the dues and benefits hitherto enjoyed by the lordship, the temples and tthe Devdlayas, according to the customary usage.

  • Marine Turtles of Sri Lanka; Status, Issues, Threats and Conservation Strategies
    IOTC-2017-WPEB13-36 Rev_1 Marine Turtles of Sri Lanka; Status, Issues, Threats and Conservation Strategies R.A.M. Jayathilaka* , H.A.C.C.Perera and S.S.K.Haputhanthri Marine Biological Resources Division, National Aquatic Resources Research and Development Agency (NARA), Crow Island, Colombo-15, Sri Lanka Abstract This paper is an attempt to review the results of marine turtle surveys carried out in Sri Lanka by National Aquatic Resources Research and Development Agency (Research arm of Ministry of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources Development Sri Lanka) during the past. Of the seven living sea turtle species recorded in the world, five species were reported in the coastal belt of Sri Lanka coming for nesting: Green Turtle (Chelonia mydas),Olive Ridley (Lepidochelys olivacea), Hawksbill (Eretmochelys imbricata), Loggerhead (Caretta caretta) and Leatherback (Dermochelys coriacea). The south and southwest coastline of Sri Lanka comprises the largest marine turtle rookeries. All five species are still recorded at Kosgoda,Induruwa, Rekawa and Bundala. In 2014, the highest nesting density was recorded (298 nests km-1year-1) at Kosgoda beach. The next highest densities were reported at Ahungalla (105 nests km-1year-1)and Induruwa (94 nest km-1year-1respectively. Approximately 68% and 30% of the total nesting turtles were Green turtles and the Olive ridley turtles respectively. The rest is shared by other three species. The highest nesting frequency of the green turtle was recorded during the period from February to April whereas the highest nesting frequency of olive ridley turtle was recorded during the period from November to March. There were fifteen operational sea turtle hatcheries situated along the western and southwest coastal belts from Mount Lavania to Koggala.
