  • The Case of Sri Lanka A
    UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA Los Angeles Intra-Ethnic Electoral Violence in War-Torn, Divided Societies: The Case of Sri Lanka A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree Doctor of Philosophy in Political Science by Seema Kiran Shah 2012 ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION Intra-Ethnic Electoral Violence in War-Torn, Divided Societies: The Case of Sri Lanka by Seema Kiran Shah Doctor of Philosophy in Political Science University of California, Los Angeles, 2012 Professor Edmond Keller, Chair What form does electoral violence take in war-torn divided societies, and what explains the variation in this type of violence? Using statistical and historical analyses, this study examines patterns of election-related violence in the war-torn, ethnically divided context of Sri Lanka. This study shows that electoral violence in Sri Lanka is more often the result of inter- party and intra-ethnic competition than it is the result of inter-ethnic rivalries. Since most Sri Lankan districts are ethnically homogeneous and because the Sinhalese constitute the vast majority of the population, most electoral competition occurs between rival Sinhalese parties. Specifically, this dissertation demonstrates the significance of inter-party competition within one ethnic group by showing that there was generally more violence in areas where the vote differences between the top two contenders were smallest, even when both were from the same ethnic group. This holds when comparing violence with the vote difference from the previous ii election cycle as well. When vote differences were small in the previous election, there was more violence in the following election in that district.

Box 1346 Ann Arbor, Ml 48106- 1346 ABSTRACT The two important temples at Munnesvaram, on the west coast of Sri Lanka, are Hindu and are run by Tamil priests. Their patronage is largely Sinhalese Buddhist. They are the context for an examination of the relations between Hinduism and Buddhism in modern Sri Lanka in a period of violent ethnic tension between Tamils and Sinhalese. The thesis falls in two parts. The first deals with the history of the temples in the colonial and post-colonial eras, the history of religious difference, and with a social analysis of the two groups of priests and of the worshippers. This establishes grounds for a consideration of current anthropological debates on hierarchy and on historicity.

  • Tidal Areas of Sri Lanka[1]
    TIDAL AREAS OF SRI LANKA[1] Eng. Lakshamane W. Seneviratne[2] ABSTRACT Sri Lanka is an island in the Indian Ocean of 65519sqkm land area and 103 river basins. Highest annual precipitation is 5500mm in the central highlands. The wet zone is demarcated by 2000mm isohyet covering southwestern and central regions. Nearly 2/3 area of the country is dry and the annual precipitation lies between 1100-2000mm. The northeast, north central, northwestern and southeastern areas are in the dry zone. It supported 3000 years of agricultural civilization continuously. 1200km long coastal zone supports nearly 33% of the population about six million. Wet zone areas are increasingly getting populated due to prevailing conditions in Sri Lanka. The coastal zone is a tidal area. Wet zone population increased from 1300AD due to international impacts and spice trade. Tidal zones always had paddy cultivation in the periphery of lagoons. Mangroves dominated in the coastal wetlands. Negombo Lagoon, Koggala Lake and Madampe Lake are large water bodies formed due to faults of the region. The basin has a high precipitation of 2200mm and rice farms are cultivated for a longer period. Low humic gley soils are suitable for paddy and not suitable for any other crop. But the brackish water of the lake is harmful to paddy. Tidal flows take up saline water up to 0.6m and salinity barriers are constructed across the canals to control the high tides. Irrigation Department maintained these barriers. The lagoon bed is possessing (beru) carbonic compounds but life is not flourishing in that layer. Lagoon water supports predators such as prawns and crabs.
