    BRIGADIER LIYANAGE v. CHANDRANANDA DE SILVA SECRETARY, MINISTRY OF DEFENCE AND OTHERS SUPREME COURT AMERASINGHE, J. WIJETUNGA J. AND BANDARANAYAKE. J. S. C. APPLICATION 5 0 6 /9 9 (F. R.) 2"d NOVEMBER, 1999 Fundamental rights - Failure to promote the petitioner as a Major General - Article 12(1) of the Constitution. The petitioner was suspended from duties until the hearing and determination of the "Embilipitiya disapperances case” and he was not considered for promotion pending the court case. Consequently, he was superceded by two other officers. After trial, he was acquitted. Thereafter, the Commander of the Army made a written recommendation to the Secretary, Ministry of Defence (the Is1 respondent) that the petitioner be, inter alia, promoted to the rank of Major General with'effect from 4lh December. 1997 on a supernumerary vacancy on which date the two officers who had superseded the petitioner were promoted to the rank of Major General and thereafter be absorbed into the permanent cadre with effect from 10lh February. 1999 on which date the High Court judgement was delivered. However, the petitioner was not promoted to the post of Major General on the ground that the promotion was not in the best interest of the Army since the petitioner failed to exercise due control over persons who were convicted by court. The petitioner did occupy a place of authority in the chain of command. But so were others above and below him who were nevertheless pro­ moted. There was also no explanation why a captain Chamarasinghe who had been indicted in the court was promoted with effect from 2"d June 1995 to the rank of temporary major.

One is to develop a numerical indicator of the level of public confidence in the peace process using a set of standardized questions, which remain unchanged with each wave. The other is to use a set of questions related to recent social, economic and political developments in order to gauge public opinion on the peace process, which by definition will change from one wave to another. Such information, collected over a period of time, will provide civil society and policy makers a useful barometer of Sri Lankan polity’s opinions, and ensure that such collective opinions are given due importance and incorporated into the policy debate. SCOPE & METHODOLOGY The survey is carried out using a structured questionnaire administered through face-to-face interviews amongst a 1362 randomly selected sample. This survey was conducted in 17 administrative districts, excluding the North and East due to the violence prevalent in the months prior. Data is weighted to reflect the actual ethnographic composition of the districts in which the sample was surveyed. This is the twenty first wave of the PCI study, which was first conducted in May 2001.This publication presents only the top-line results of the February 2006 survey.

  • In Defense of Dharma: Just-War Ideology in Buddhist Sri Lanka Before She Knew She Was Dying
    IN DEFENSE OF DHARMA This is the first book to examine war and violence in Sri Lanka from the perspective of cross-cultural studies on just-war tradition and theory. In a study that is textual, historical, and anthropological, it is argued that the ongoing Sinhala–Tamil conflict is often justified by resorting to religious stories that allow for war when Buddhism is in peril. Since Buddhism is often commonly assumed to be a religion that never allows for war, this book – by suggesting otherwise – brings Buddhism into the ethical dialogue on religion and war. Without a realistic consideration of just-war thinking in contemporary Sri Lanka, it will remain impossible to understand the existing power of religion that can create both peace and war. Tessa J. Bartholomeusz was Professor of Religion at The Florida State University, Tallahassee. She was the author of Women Under the Bo Tree: Buddhist Nuns in Sri Lanka (1994) and co-editor of Buddhist Fundamentalism and Minority Identities in Sri Lanka (1998). Her work concentrated on gender, religious identity, and, most recently, on Buddhism in the USA. General Editors Charles S. Prebish and Damien Keown The RoutledgeCurzon Critical Studies in Buddhism series is a comprehensive study of the Buddhist tradition. The series explores this complex and extensive tradition from a variety of perspectives, using a range of different methodologies. The series is diverse in its focus, including historical studies, textual translations and commentaries, sociological investigations, bibliographic studies, and considerations of religious practice as expressions of Buddhism’s integral religiosity. It also presents material on modern intellectual historical studies, including the role of Buddhist thought and scholarship in a contemporary, critical context and in the light of current social issues.

  • Year Date Photo Event AD 1908 the Local People Set up the Low Country
    www.tamilarangam.net Year Date Photo Event AD The local people set up the Low Country Producers‟ 1908 Association (LCPA), as a counter to the European- controlled Chamber of Commerce. AD The Legislative Council is enlarged to include 1911 “unofficial” Ceylonese members and with it a new platform emerges for the articulation of demands for further participation. With this political advance, the Sinhalese and Tamil elite come together as equal partners on a vague platform of proto-nationalism engendered by class interest and not on the basis of anti-colonialism or a desire for political liberation. Their separate ethnic loyalties and identities are nevertheless held intact but are temporarily subsumed by the desire for political consolidation. The high rising inter-Sinhalese class rivalry contributes to leadership roles falling into the hands of Tamils. As the Karava caste Sinhalese remain economically and politically dominant, the Goygama caste Sinhalese are hell-bent on ending such Karava dominance, at least politically. In the election to the Legislative Council, the Goygama elite support Sir P Ramanathan, against Sir Marcus Fernando, a Karava Sinhalese, and Ramanathan is elected.
