    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.

    South East Asia Journal of Contemporary Business, Economics and Law, Vol. 19, Issue 4 (August) ISSN 2289-1560 2019 RETHINKING THE IMPORTANCE OF IDENTIFYING AND ADDRESSING THE CUSTOMARY LAWS IN THE CONTEXT OF LAND LAW MAKING PROCESS (BASED ON THE SRI LANKAN EXPERIENCE OF REGISTRATION OF TITLE SYSTEM.) Ms Buddhika Munasinghe INTRODUCTION The land is an integral part of every state. Especially land has sacred and cultural value in most of the Asian traditions apart from its social and economic value. Sri Lanka is an island state which has 25,330 sq. Mi for 21,670,000 ("Department of Census and Statistics-Sri Lanka," 2019) of population and a country which inherent legal pluralism as a result of multi-cultural ethnicity and imperialism. Further, Lands play a major and vital role in Sri Lanka, and as a country based on the agricultural economy, vast human rights such as the right to work, right to food are inseparably linked with the lands. Therefore the concept of ownership and protection of ownership of lands have crucial importance. Sri Lanka has two kinds of ownership for the lands. The first one is the ownership of state lands, and the other one is ownership of private lands. When it comes to private lands, the laws relating to private lands in Sri Lanka are governed by the General Law or the Roman-Dutch law and the personal or special laws existing in the country. All these legal systems have their own features and inherent. Derived from many different systems, Roman-Dutch Law, English law, Sinhala Law, Thesawalamei Law and Muslim Law, the law of Ceylon is rich in its source.(Tambiah, 1972, p.

  • Impact of Culture on Parliamentary Library of Sri Lanka
    Impact of culture on Parliamentary Library of Sri Lanka Cultural Foundation The Word culture taken in its general sense, represents human civilization. Encyclopaedia Britannica identifies culture as the integrated pattern of human knowledge. belief and behaviouri. This definition seems to be too wide to be treated in a paper aimed at a limited purpose. I feel therefore that it would be pertinent to narrow the meaning of the word to a particular nation, its language, religion and heritage. Culture of Sri Lanka in its present context is composite, complex and cosmopolitan. The apparent reason for this perhaps is its being an island located in the India Ocean, along the ancient Silk Route from East to the \Vest, in close proximity to the Indian Subcontinent. Beginning and the thriving of the Sri Lankan culture was illustrated in early Chronicles written in about 5th centwy AD. The most fan1ous of these chronicles is the Mahawansa. According to that the Sinhala community was founded by innnigrants from North India in 5th Centwy B.C. It says that they were a highly cultured people who built and lived in cities with the help of an advanced system of administrntion. Introduction of Buddhism, which is the religion of the majority even today, in 306 BC added a new aspect to their culture. Giant irrigation works sustaining a elaborated system of agriculture, vast religious and social monuments, and an ancient Aryan language with a very considerable literature in the form of rock and other inscriptions and Ola leaf books are what the country has inhabited from them.
