  • The Left and the 1972 Constitution: Marxism and State Power
    ! 8 The Left and the 1972 Constitution: Marxism and State Power g Kumar David ! ! The drafting of the 1972 Republican Constitution was dominated by the larger than life figure of Dr Colvin R. de Silva (hereafter Colvin), renowned lawyer and brilliant orator, neither of which counts for much for the purposes of this chapter. Colvin was also co-leader with Dr N.M. Perera (hereafter NM) of the Lanka Sama Samaja Party (LSSP), and that is the heart of the matter. Although it was known, rather proudly till recently in the party, as ‘Colvin’s Constitution,’ this terminology is emblematic; no, not just a Colvin phenomenon,1 it was a constitution to which the left parties, that is the LSSP and the Communist Party (CP), were inextricably bound. They cannot separate themselves from its conception, gestation and birth; it was theirs as much as it was the child of Mrs Bandaranaike. Neither can the left wholly brush aside the charge that its brainchild facilitated, to a degree, the enactment of a successor, the 1978 J.R. Jayewardene (hereafter JR) Constitution, which iniquity has yet to be exorcised a quarter of a century later. However, even sans this predecessor but with his 5/6th parliamentary majority, JR who had long been committed to a presidential system would in any case have enacted much the same constitution. But overt politicisation, dismantling of checks and balances, and the alienation of the Tamil minority afforded JR a useful platform to launch out from. The relationship of one constitution to the other is not my subject; my task is the affiliation of the LSSP-CP, their avowed Marxism, and the strategic thinking of the leaders to a constitution that can, at least in hindsight, be euphemistically described as controversial.

  • Migration and Morality Amongst Sri Lankan Catholics
    UNLIKELY COSMPOLITANS: MIGRATION AND MORALITY AMONGST SRI LANKAN CATHOLICS A Dissertation Presented to the Faculty of the Graduate School of Cornell University In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy by Bernardo Enrique Brown August, 2013 © 2013 Bernardo Enrique Brown ii UNLIKELY COSMOPOLITANS: MIGRATION AND MORALITY AMONGST SRI LANKAN CATHOLICS Bernardo Enrique Brown, Ph.D. Cornell University, 2013 Sri Lankan Catholic families that successfully migrated to Italy encountered multiple challenges upon their return. Although most of these families set off pursuing very specific material objectives through transnational migration, the difficulties generated by return migration forced them to devise new and creative arguments to justify their continued stay away from home. This ethnography traces the migratory trajectories of Catholic families from the area of Negombo and suggests that – due to particular religious, historic and geographic circumstances– the community was able to develop a cosmopolitan attitude towards the foreign that allowed many of its members to imagine themselves as ―better fit‖ for migration than other Sri Lankans. But this cosmopolitanism was not boundless, it was circumscribed by specific ethical values that were constitutive of the identity of this community. For all the cosmopolitan curiosity that inspired people to leave, there was a clear limit to what values and practices could be negotiated without incurring serious moral transgressions. My dissertation traces the way in which these iii transnational families took decisions, constantly navigating between the extremes of a flexible, rootless cosmopolitanism and a rigid definition of identity demarcated by local attachments. Through fieldwork conducted between January and December of 2010 in the predominantly Catholic region of Negombo, I examine the work that transnational migrants did to become moral beings in a time of globalization, individualism and intense consumerism.

  • Emergency Rule and Authoritarianism in Republican Sri Lanka
    6 An Eager Embrace: Emergency Rule and Authoritarianism in Republican Sri Lanka Deepika Udagama Introduction Much of Sri Lanka’s post-independence period has seen governance under states of emergency. The invocation of the Public Security Ordinance (PSO)1 by successive governments was a common feature of political life and, indeed, an integral aspect of the political culture of the republic. Several generations of Sri Lankans have grown up and have been socialised into political and public life in an environment fashioned by states of exception replete with attendant symbols and imagery. Images of police with automatic weapons, military check-points, barbed wire, lengthy periods of detention (often administrative detention) mainly of the political ‘other’, the trauma of political violence and the ever- present sense of fear became the ‘normal’. The state of exception has become the norm in Sri Lanka from the 1970s onwards. The permanency of the state of exception was further consolidated when the Prevention of Terrorism (Temporary Provisions) Act, No. 48 of 1979 (PTA) was converted into a permanent law in 1982.2 Although not an emergency regulation, the PTA conferred extraordinary powers on the executive branch (e.g. powers of arrest and detention) to deal with what it recognised as acts of terrorism. That in combination with the ever-present emergency powers, which were sanctioned by the Constitution, provided a formidable legal framework to entrench the state of exception. The omnipotence of the executive presidency created by the second republican constitution (1978) amplified the potency of those exceptional powers. Sri Lanka had become the quintessential ‘National Security State’, the vestiges of which have not been shaken off even five The author wishes to thank Ms.

  • Chapter Iv Sri Lanka and the International System
    1 CHAPTER IV SRI LANKA AND THE INTERNATIONAL SYSTEM : THE UNP GOVERNMENTS In the system of sovereign states, individual states interact with other states and international organizations to protect and promote their national interests. As the issues and scope of the interests of different classes of states vary, so do the character and patterns of their interactions to preserve and promote them. Unlike the super powers whose national interests encompass the entire sovereign states system, the small states have a relatively limited range of interests as well as a relatively limited sphere of foreign policy activities. As a small state, Sri Lanka has a relatively small agenda of interests in the international arena and the sphere of its foreign policy activities is quite restricted in comparison to those of the super powers, or regional powers. The sphere of its foreign policy activities can be analytically separated into two levels : those in the South Asian regional system and those in the larger international system.1 In the South Asian regional system Sri Lanka has to treat India with due caution because of the existence of wide difference in their respective capabilities, yet try to maintain its sovereignty, freedom and integrity. In the international system apart from mitigating the pressures and pulls emanating from the international power structure, Sri Lanka has to promote its national interests to ensure its security, stability and status. Interactions of Sri Lanka to realize its national interests to a great extent depended upon the perceptions and world views of its ruling elites, which in its case are its heads of governments and their close associates.2 Although the foreign policy makers have enjoyed considerable freedom in taking initiatives in the making and conduct of foreign policy, their 2 freedom is subject to the constraints imposed by the domestic and international determinants of its foreign policy.

  • CHAPTER IV OFFICIAL LANGUAGE QUESTION the Portuguese
    CHAPTER IV OFFICIAL LANGUAGE QUESTION The Portuguese conquest and occupation of the Sinhalese littoral and Tamil areas was followed by the Dutch in 1656 and' the British in 1796. After initial control by the British East India Company from Madras, 1 these areas became a British Crown Colony in 1802. The , I Kandyan Sinhalese kingdom, which stood the Portuguese and early British attempts of conquest was ceded to the 2 British by the Kandyan convention of 1815. The four and a half centuries of European rule effected great changes in the political, econor.ic, religious and social structure, in the ethnic collective identities! and in the out look and life of both the Sinhalese and Tamil people. The colonial impact brought many changes. Despite of European awareness of the ethnic and cultural identity of the Tami1sadministrative unification tended to integrate the Tamil areas into a united Sri Lanka. The development of road and rail transport had the same effect. On the other hand local government institutions were slow to develop. Thus, at independence Sri Lanka's new rulers had a workable machinery for governing the country, while the majority Tamil had no institutional framework within which 85 to organize themselves even in the north, where they 3 formed a distinct majority. However, the effects of colonial rule were not all unfavorable to the Tamils. For instance, "the success of the Sinhalese of the high lands in maintaining their independence up to 1815 created a distincti^on between the Kandyans (up-country) Sinhalese and the low-country Sinhalese. The latter being a more westernized group due to their long tutelage under the Europeans were better placed to seize the economic opportunities available in the highlands after plantations were developed in those areas in the nineteenth century.
