It is also with great pride that I join this occasion as I am associated with two of the collaborative bodies; as the founder president of the IAAH, and the Minister of Culture and the Arts. Being able to organize a second conference in association with a large number of reputed Sri Lankan and foreign scholars within a short period of two years, is indeed an achievement for the IAAH. The IAAH is a body that joins government institutes and the academia around the world to exchange and enhance the knowledge of culture and heritage of our region. Asia is a fast developing region that has captured the attention of the entire world. Apart from this new development trend, Asia has always been renowned for its rich culture and heritage, where lofty cultures like the Indus, Howangho, Mesopotamia etc. originated. All the nations of Asia have traditions and heritage that are similar but unique. And this event is a platform where scholars from around the world will share them. I myself, heralding from Yapahuwa, the fourth kingdom of the country, have a great interest and natural bonding towards culture and heritage. Hence I take this opportunity to once more express my continual support and encouragement on behalf of the government of Sri Lanka, for events such as this. While I congratulate the organizers for putting together this massive event, I wish all the scholars the very best for their presentations. Further, I wish to invite all our foreign guests to take this opportunity to experience the culture and traditions of the Sri Lanka, and enjoy its uniqueness among the similarities with your own. T. B. Ekanayake Minister of Culture and the Arts Government of Sri Lanka President/ IAAH vi International Conference of the International Association for Asian Heritage 2011 Message from the Secretary I am very pleased to extend my heartiest congratulations to the International Conference on Asian Art, Culture and Heritage 2013 organized by the Centre for Asian Studies, University of Kelaniya in Collaboration with the Ministry of Culture and the Arts and the International Association for Asian Heritage. Today, Asia has become the centre of emerging power in the world and all eyes have turned towards this region. Thus, it is of great importance that scholars and academics of the region get together to join hands in discussing and disseminating new knowledge about the Art, Culture and Heritage of each nation which is more or less the knowledge of life of the Asian people. The Ministry of Culture and the Arts of Sri Lanka, is keen to promote the culture and heritage of the country while learning and acquiring from other cultures of the world and Asian region in particular. The Ministry, going by the government policy of promoting Sri Lanka to become the “Wonder of Asia”, is ever so ready to encourage and support events such as this which will give us an opportunity to offer and receive not only this new knowledge but also the friendship and goodwill with our neighbouring countries. The Centre for Asian Studies - University of Kelaniya and the International Association for Asian Heritage have often taken steps to bring out and share the cultural connections of the Asian Region and bring together a large number of Scholars from every nook and corner of Asia as well as those from the rest of the world who are interested in Asian studies. While congratulating their impressive efforts, I wish to express the continuous support and encouragement of the Ministry for such future endeavours. I wish all the participants the best of luck for their presentations and wish the Foreign Scholars a happy and blissful stay here, enjoying the hospitality and the cultural values of Sri Lanka! Wasantha Ekanayake Secretary vii International Conference of the International Association for Asian Heritage 2011 Message from the Vice-Chancellor It is with great pleasure that I write this congratulatory message on the publication of the volume of abstracts for the International Conference on Asian Art, Culture and Heritage 2013. The Centre for Asian Studies - University of Kelaniya and The International Association for Asian Heritage are two active bodies which promote the scholarly study of Asia’s rich and diverse heritage. This year too, I am happy that the CAS – University of Kelaniya and the International Association for Asian Heritage (IAAH) together with the powerful backing of the Ministry for Culture and the Arts, Government of Sri Lanka has organized a forum for converging of scholars from Sri Lanka and around the world for the promotion of the diverse aspects of Asia oriented research. The continent of Asia has one of the largest and rapidly growing populations; moreover it is a region which encompasses some of the most ancient civilizations of the world. This volume is a collection of over one hundred and fifty research abstracts which indicates the diversity of interests on various aspects of Asian art, culture and heritage held by scholars the world over. It is also notable that this Conference has provided a research platform for both renowned and budding young researchers to present and discuss their findings. I wish all Conference participants the very best for a successful presentation and international scholars a fruitful and culturally enriching stay in Sri Lanka!

  • The Religious Lifeworlds of Canada's Goan and Anglo-Indian Communities
    Brown Baby Jesus: The Religious Lifeworlds of Canada’s Goan and Anglo-Indian Communities Kathryn Carrière Thesis submitted to the Faculty of Graduate and Postdoctoral Studies In partial fulfillment of the requirements For the PhD degree in Religion and Classics Religion and Classics Faculty of Arts University of Ottawa © Kathryn Carrière, Ottawa, Canada, 2011 I dedicate this thesis to my husband Reg and our son Gabriel who, of all souls on this Earth, are most dear to me. And, thank you to my Mum and Dad, for teaching me that faith and love come first and foremost. Abstract Employing the concepts of lifeworld (Lebenswelt) and system as primarily discussed by Edmund Husserl and Jürgen Habermas, this dissertation argues that the lifeworlds of Anglo- Indian and Goan Catholics in the Greater Toronto Area have permitted members of these communities to relatively easily understand, interact with and manoeuvre through Canada’s democratic, individualistic and market-driven system. Suggesting that the Catholic faith serves as a multi-dimensional primary lens for Canadian Goan and Anglo-Indians, this sociological ethnography explores how religion has and continues affect their identity as diasporic post- colonial communities. Modifying key elements of traditional Indian culture to reflect their Catholic beliefs, these migrants consider their faith to be the very backdrop upon which their life experiences render meaningful. Through systematic qualitative case studies, I uncover how these individuals have successfully maintained a sense of security and ethnic pride amidst the myriad cultures and religions found in Canada’s multicultural society. Oscillating between the fuzzy boundaries of the Indian traditional and North American liberal worlds, Anglo-Indians and Goans attribute their achievements to their open-minded Westernized upbringing, their traditional Indian roots and their Catholic-centred principles effectively making them, in their opinions, admirable models of accommodation to Canada’s system.

  • Siem Reap, Cambodia Destination Guide
    Siem Reap, Cambodia Destination Guide Overview of Siem Reap Siem Reap lies on the northern shores of the Tonle Sap Lake. It's the main access city for Angkor's magnificent temples, and a popular launching pad for further travel into Cambodia and Thailand. Not just a headquarters for exploring neighbouring regions, it also boasts popular markets, craft shops, museums and Apsara dance performances. The Temple of Angkor Wat is Siem Reap's most famous feature. Situated just outside the city centre, the UNESCO World Heritage Site dates from the 12th century and is the largest religious monument in the world. Within the city, the Angkor National Museum provides a useful cultural and historical background for the Angkor Temples and the ancient Khmer civilisation. The Aki Ra Landmine Museum is also worthwhile as it gives tourists an understanding of the ongoing war Cambodia is still fighting against these buried weapons. Siem Reap has budget- and luxury guesthouses, and a host of fun bars and excellent restaurants. With so much in the way of amenities and attractions, the city is a great base from which to venture into other parts of this fascinating country. Visitors will find silk farms, rice paddies and fishing villages in the surrounding countryside, as well as a bird sanctuary near Tonle Sap Lake - one of Asia's largest freshwater lakes. The area is home to charming villages on stilts, built to accommodate monsoon flooding. Key Facts Language: Khmer is the official language. French is also spoken, but English is fast becoming popular with the younger generation.

S hyam B hat From the arrival of the Portuguese to the end of the 18Ih century, the economic history of Portuguese Goa is well examined by historians. But not many works are available on the economic history of Goa during the 19lh and 20lh centuries, which witnessed considerable decline in the Portuguese trade in India. This, being a desideratum, it is not surprising to note that a study of the visible trade links between Portuguese Goa and the coastal regions of Karnataka1 is not given serious attention by historians so far. Therefore, this is an attempt to analyse the trade connections between Portuguese Goa and colonial Kanara in the 19lh century.2 The present exposition is mainly based on the administrative records of the English East India Company government such as Proceedings of the Madras Board of Revenue, Proceedings of the Madras Sea Customs Department, Madras Commercial Consultations, and official letters of the Collectors of Kanara.
