  • 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.

    FEBRUARY ISSUE 2021 Puradsi Media. Phoenix - the Next Generation © All Rights Reserved Puradsi Media – Phoenix the Next Generation 1 a FEBRUARY ISSUE 2021 Puradsi Media. Phoenix - the Next Generation P2P - A Rebirth: Perception and consequences from AP Journalists’ point of view A combined editorial piece by key members of our Akkinip Paravaikal team to cross-examine the effects upon the Tamils’ struggle for liberation. Proceed to page 03 for more. “Today we are faced with a critical and complex situation, unprecedented in the history of our liberation struggle. We are living in a political void, without war, without a stable peace, without the conditions of normalcy, without an interim or permanent solution to the ethnic conflict. Our liberation struggle will be seriously undermined if this political vacuum continues indefinitely.” (2004) National Leader of Tamil Eelam © All Rights Reserved Puradsi Media – Phoenix the Next Generation 2 a FEBRUARY ISSUE 2021 Puradsi Media. Phoenix - the Next Generation P2P - A Rebirth: Perception and consequences from AP Journalists’ point of view Akkinip Paravaikal Editors’ note: All opinions presented are those of the AP team members. Resistance has become an undeniable component of the Eelam Tamils’ livelihood for decades. However, moments of mass uprising have periodically emerged in reinvigorating their collective psyche. In that regard, ‘Pottuvil to Polikandy’ or ‘P2P’ emerged as a march conducted by Tamils between the 2 furthermost points of the occupied Tamil homeland between 03.02.2021 - 07.02.2021, thus rejecting the SL state and asserting Tamil sovereignty through physically portraying the continuity of the Eelam Tamils’ territorial integrity. Through demanding issues pertaining to Tamils’ grievances, the campaign gained momentum on an unprecedented scale.

Sabaratnam; published May 7, 2004 (Volume 2) 2. The Jaffna Massacre Must Put an End Shell-shocked Balthazzaar and his top men held a conference at Gurungar Camp on their return. The radio room had by this time informed Colombo about the blast and the death of 13 soldiers. Balthazaar got a call from Palaly and then Colombo headquarters. It connected Balthazar to army commander Lieutenant General Tissa Weeratunga who had been woken up by the headquarters. “I’ve to inform the President. It’s too serious,” Weeratunga blurted. His voice showed that he was badly shaken. Weeratunga woke up President Jayewardene. Weeratunga later told his officers that Jayewardene was angry when he broke the news. “We must put an end to this,” Jayewardene exclaimed. He asked Weeratunga to meet him in the morning. The conference at Gurunagar considered three matters. Handling of the situation, handling of the dead bodies and strengthening the security of Jaffna City. Handling of the situation involved investigations about the blast. Munasinghe and the intelligence unit were detailed for that task. The bodies of the dead soldiers were in the Jaffna Teaching Hospital mortuary. An undertaker, A. F. Raymond of Colombo, was told to take the bodies to Colombo and prepare them there to be handed over to the families of the dead men.
