    FACETS OF MODERN CEYLON HISTORY THROUGH THE LETTERS OF JERONIS PIERIS BY MICHAEL ROBERT Hannadige Jeronis Pieris (1829-1894) was educated at the Colombo Academy and thereafter joined his in-laws, the brothers Jeronis and Susew de Soysa, as a manager of their ventures in the Kandyan highlands. Arrack-renter, trader, plantation owner, philanthro- pist and man of letters, his career pro- vides fascinating sidelights on the social and economic history of British Ceylon. Using Jeronis Pieris's letters as a point of departure and assisted by the stock of knowledge he has gather- ed during his researches into the is- land's history, the author analyses several facets of colonial history: the foundations of social dominance within indigenous society in pre-British times; the processes of elite formation in the nineteenth century; the process of Wes- ternisation and the role of indigenous elites as auxiliaries and supporters of the colonial rulers; the events leading to the Kandyan Marriage Ordinance no. 13 of 1859; entrepreneurship; the question of the conflict for land bet- ween coffee planters and villagers in the Kandyan hill-country; and the question whether the expansion of plantations had disastrous effects on the stock of cattle in the Kandyan dis- tricts. This analysis is threaded by in- formation on the Hannadige- Pieris and Warusahannadige de Soysa families and by attention to the various sources available to the historians of nineteenth century Ceylon.

Field Ohio University, Athens, OH, USA ABSTRACT KEYWORDS A consensus is growing among scholars of modern Indian literature Modernist realism; that the thematic development of Hindi, Urdu and Bangla poetry Rabindranath Tagore; was consistent to a considerable extent. I use the term ‘consistent’ romanticism; Sinhala poetry; to refer to the transitions between 1900 and 1960 from didacticism Siri Gunasinghe; South Asian literary history; Sri Lanka; to romanticism to modernist realism. The purpose of this article is to superposition build upon this consensus by revealing that as far south as Sri Lanka, Sinhala-language poetry developed along the same trajectory. To bear out this argument, I explore the works of four Sri Lankan poets, analysing the didacticism of Ananda Rajakaruna, the romanticism of P.B.

  • The Sri Lankan Insurgency: a Rebalancing of the Orthodox Position
    THE SRI LANKAN INSURGENCY: A REBALANCING OF THE ORTHODOX POSITION A thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy by Peter Stafford Roberts Department of Politics and History, Brunel University April 2016 Abstract The insurgency in Sri Lanka between the early 1980s and 2009 is the topic of this study, one that is of great interest to scholars studying war in the modern era. It is an example of a revolutionary war in which the total defeat of the insurgents was a decisive conclusion, achieved without allowing them any form of political access to governance over the disputed territory after the conflict. Current literature on the conflict examines it from a single (government) viewpoint – deriving false conclusions as a result. This research integrates exciting new evidence from the Tamil (insurgent) side and as such is the first balanced, comprehensive account of the conflict. The resultant history allows readers to re- frame the key variables that determined the outcome, concluding that the leadership and decision-making dynamic within the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) had far greater impact than has previously been allowed for. The new evidence takes the form of interviews with participants from both sides of the conflict, Sri Lankan military documentation, foreign intelligence assessments and diplomatic communiqués between governments, referencing these against the current literature on counter-insurgency, notably the social-institutional study of insurgencies by Paul Staniland. It concludes that orthodox views of the conflict need to be reshaped into a new methodology that focuses on leadership performance and away from a timeline based on periods of major combat.

  • Social Media in South India Provides an Understanding of This Subject in a Region Experiencing Rapid Transformation
    S OC One of the first ethnographic studies to explore the use of Shriram Venkatraman I social media in the everyday lives of people in Tamil Nadu, AL MED Social Media in South India provides an understanding of this subject in a region experiencing rapid transformation. The influx of IT companies over the past decade into what was once a space dominated by agriculture has resulted in a complex juxtaposition between an evolving knowledge economy and the traditions of rural life. While certain class I tensions have emerged in response to this juxtaposition, A a study of social media in the region suggests that similarities have also transpired, observed most clearly in I N SOUTH the blurring of boundaries between work and life for both the old residents and the new. Venkatraman explores the impact of social media at home, SOCIAL work and school, and analyses the influence of class, caste, I age and gender on how, and which, social media platforms ND are used in different contexts. These factors, he argues, I MEDIA have a significant effect on social media use, suggesting A that social media in South India, while seeming to induce societal change, actually remains bound by local traditions and practices. SHRIRAM VENKATRAMAN has a PhD in Anthropology from UCL and is currently an Assistant IN SOUTH Professor at Indraprastha Institute of Information Technology, Delhi (IIITD). He is a trained professional V enkatraman statistician and, prior to his doctoral studies, held leadership positions at Walmart in the USA. INDIA His research interests include workplace technologies, organisational culture and entrepreneurship.
