GLOSSARY xxi-xxii BIBLIOGRAPHY xxiii-xxx MAPS INTRODUCTION The present work is chiefly based on the documents concerning Ceylon which are preserved in the Kolonial Archief section of the Algemeen Rijksarchief at the Hague# They consist, in the main, of three series - 1# Overgekomen Brleven En Papieren. 2# Batavlaesch Vitgaende Briefboek and 3* Brieven van de Vergaderingh van Seventhienen Naer Indien. Of these, the first-mentioned is by far the most volu­ minous and the most important - at least so far as this thesis is concerned. This series consists of documents, which the Governor-General and Council sent to their superiors along with the Generale Missive or annual report. In the Generale Missive, the Batavian authorities review (among other things) the events and developments which have taken place in Ceylon since their previous Generale Missive. This review is often quite detailed, but sometimes sketchy. Nevertheless, whether detailed or sketchy, it is almost invariably an indispensable source for the history of the period covered by it. Generally, of greater importance than this review of Ceylon affairs are the originals or copies of letters, reports* etc. sent from Ceylon to Batavia and thence, along with the Generale Missive, to the Netherlands. Although, unfortunately, all the documents sent from Ceylon have not been dispatched to the Netherlands, yet, those sent are in sufficient number to give a fuller and ii truer picture of happenings in Ceylon than is given in the Generale Missive* The second series of documents, the Bataviaesch Vitgaende Briefboek, contains (among other things) letters and instruc­ tions etc. from the Governor-General and Council to Ceylon, and to their subordinates proceeding to that island on various missions. This series though less voluminous and not so important as the first, is nevertheless invaluable and indis­ pensable. Sometimes the letters and instructions contained in this series are so wide in their scope and ramifications that with their aid many gaps in matters connected with Ceylon can be filled up. Moreover, for a study of Dutch policy, this series is probably the most important of all. The third series, the Brieven van de Vergaderingh van Seventhlenen naer Indien, contains, as its name indicates, letters from the Heeren XVII to Batavia. These letters are chiefly important for a study of Dutch policy; they often serve to remind the reader that profit and commercial advantages were always meant to be the real touchstones of any policy in the island (or elsewhere). All these documents contain various shortcomings which have to be carefully noted if wrong and hasty conclusions are to be avoided. For instance, letters written on the same subject either to one and the same person or to different persons, sometimes contain contradictory instructions. The iii explanation for this was given by the Governor-General and a ) Council to the Directors, thusr "That in our local letters we write to the Directors and merchants of the Company and, sometimes, to native princes ideas which are far removed from our resolutions, such as, that Muscat is going to be conquered, and coming victorious from there we shall attack Diu, Daman and other Portuguese forts; that • ••• we shall assist Bantam Jmd against Mataram, and Mataram against Bantam etc. - we request Your Honours to accept such ideas and projects in our letters .... which do not agree with our resolutions as being inventions made in order to throw our enemy into confusion." Another reason for these contradictory statements appears, however, to have been due to a desire on the part of the writers to safeguard themselves in the event of matters turning out contrary to expectation. In fact, in their desire to safeguard themselves from criticism and reproach, the Governor- General and Council, in particular, are at times found to be making absolutely false denials and statements; but these are, generally speaking, so cleverly framed that only a thorough study of all the available materials can get at the truth. 1. 9 Dec. 16379 in Kolonial Archief No. 103U pp. 35-36 iv The most notable shortcoming - and the one most to be guarded against - in the reporting of the Dutch Company is the fact that the "other fellow* - whether Raja Sinha or the Portuguese or the "Engelsche vrtjhen" - is almost invariably said to be a rascal and a cheat, whose actions are thoroughly Machiavellian. This manner of reporting, it must be noted, is seldom absent, to a lesser or greater extent, in the official correspondence of all countries at all times; if the Sinhalese archives had survived I doubt not that JLt^would have been in fitting company when placed beside the Dutch East India Company's archives. The unfortunate fact, however, is that this characteristic of the Dutch Company's reporting has been too often overlooked. In a way, this is not surprising, because the charges of Machiavellianism made against the "other fellow" are often accompanied by solemn (though on close analysis, false) protestations and explanations of the Company’s own uprightness, and the difficulty for the "open-hearted (1) Netherlander" to act contrary to his conscience. Nevertheless, despite these drawbacks, the Company's records at the Hague still remain, on the whole, the most copious grid the best material for a study of the period surveyed 1. Cf. for illustrations of some of these points seef-siw.i56 the present work. V In this thesis. There can, perhaps, be no better testimony to their value than that it is possible, after all, to get a fair picture of the "other fellow’s" ideas and actions, even if this has to be obtained by the most exhaustive research. As far as I know only three writers have hitherto made any considerable use of these records for a study of even a part of the subject dealt with in this thesis. Of these, the first in point of time and, indeed, of importance, has been W. van Geer, who utilised the documents for the years 1638-U5 for his doctoral thesis, De Opkomst van het Nederlandsch Ge&ag over Ceilon (Leiden, 1895). Van Geer’s thesis suffered from certain defects, which were due to no fault of his, but were merely the result of its being a pioneer work. For instance, his only Portuguese source was Ribeiro, and he naturally had not access to Raja Sinha’s correspondence preserved in the Ceylon archives and published by Donald Ferguson in 190U; nor had he at his disposal the works of scholars such as Dr. P.E. Pieris and H.W. Codrington who dealt with the Portuguese side of the story. There are, however, other defects in Van Geer’s work which must be ascribed to the writer’s own shortcomings. He has often overlooked vital facts and documents; sometimes he contradicts what is stated in the documents (even where the relevant document is given among his appendixes); sometimes he supplies details by mere guess-work, which, unfortunately, has proved wrong; moreover, he sometimes accepted at their Vi face-value, the tendentious or false statements of the Dutch Company’s officials. (1) When all this is said and done, however, the fact remains that Van Geer’s work is still the best available on his subject; no other writer has a fuller (2) account or a more impartial one. In his well-known work De Oost-Indische Conrpagnie als Zeemogendheid in Azie, Rijswick (Z.H.) 1927, N. MacLeod has devoted some attention to a study of matters connected with Ceylon in the years 1638-50. He is the second writer, in point of importance, who has used a considerable number of the Company’s records at the R1jksarchief for a study of part at least of the subject covered in this thesis.

The fact that none of the three Ceylon writers, who avowedly utilised his work, were able to maintain the degree of impartiality shown by him, is a good testimony to the merits of Van Geer's work.

Ceylon: Trade or Territory? Van Goens and Ceylon as a challenge to Batavia’s dominance, 1655 -1670 In 1655-1656 Van Goens briefly returned in the Netherlands for the first time in twenty-seven years. Using his previous experience as a diplomat, merchant and soldier, he was able to convince the VOC directors to change course towards a more aggressive expansionist policy in South Asia. By 1656 he was set to return to Asia at the head of a large fleet, with the aim of finally ejecting the Portuguese from Ceylon, Malabar and, if at all possible, Diu. This proved to be the start of an entanglement with Ceylon that would last until 1675, when he returned to Batavia. Ceylon captivated Van Goens and, even in Batavia, the major debates centered on what place the island should take in the VOC’s now sizable Asian domains, and what th e official policy should be in relation to the interior kingdom of Kandy. This chapter will focus on the first fifteen years of this period, 1655-1670, when Van Goens was to a large extent able to dictate the VOC’s policies on Ceylon and Southern India. While on Ceylon, Van Goens faced three questions: how should the VOC rule its parts of the island? What should be the relationship between the Ceylon government and the surrounding polities, both on Ceylon with Kandy, as well as with the neighboring states in Southern India? Thirdly, how should Ceylon relate to the neighboring VOC commands of Surat, Vengurla, Coromandel and Bengal? Van Goens came up with answers to all these questions and attempted to put them into practice, thus shaping the VOC’s posture in the area for the next century and more.

  • Facets-Of-Modern-Ceylon-History-Through-The-Letters-Of-Jeronis-Pieris.Pdf
    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.

  • The Interface Between Buddhism and International Humanitarian Law (Ihl)
    REDUCING SUFFERING DURING CONFLICT: THE INTERFACE BETWEEN BUDDHISM AND INTERNATIONAL HUMANITARIAN LAW (IHL) Exploratory position paper as background for 4th to 6th September 2019 conference in Dambulla, Sri Lanka Peter Harvey (University of Sunderland, Emeritus), with: Kate Crosby (King’s College, London), Mahinda Deegalle (Bath Spa University), Elizabeth Harris (University of Birmingham), Sunil Kariyakarawana (Buddhist Chaplain to Her Majesty’s Armed Forces), Pyi Kyaw (King’s College, London), P.D. Premasiri (University of Peradeniya, Emeritus), Asanga Tilakaratne (University of Colombo, Emeritus), Stefania Travagnin (University of Groningen). Andrew Bartles-Smith (International Committee of the Red Cross). Though he should conquer a thousand men in the battlefield, yet he, indeed, is the nobler victor who should conquer himself. Dhammapada v.103 AIMS AND RATIONALE OF THE CONFERENCE This conference, organized by the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) in collaboration with a number of universities and organizations, will explore correspondences between Buddhism and IHL and encourage a constructive dialogue and exchange between the two domains. The conference will act as a springboard to understanding how Buddhism can contribute to regulating armed conflict, and what it offers in terms of guidance on the conduct of, and behavior during, war for Buddhist monks and lay persons – the latter including government and military personnel, non-State armed groups and civilians. The conference is concerned with the conduct of armed conflict, and not with the reasons and justifications for it, which fall outside the remit of IHL. In addition to exploring correspondences between IHL and Buddhist ethics, the conference will also explore how Buddhist combatants and communities understand IHL, and where it might align with Buddhist doctrines and practices: similarly, how their experience of armed conflict might be drawn upon to better promote IHL and Buddhist principles, thereby improving conduct of hostilities on the ground.

This curriculum is planned with the aim of avoiding individual and social weaknesses as well as in the way of thinking that the present day youth are confronted. When considering the system of education in Asia, Sri Lanka was in the forefront in the field of education a few years back. But at present the countries in Asia have advanced over Sri Lanka. Taking decisions based on the existing system and presenting the same repeatedly without a new vision is one reason for this backwardness. The officers of the National Institute of Education have taken courage to revise the curriculum with a new vision to overcome this situation. The objectives of the New Curriculum have been designed to enable the pupil population to develop their competencies by way of new knowledge through exploration based on their existing knowledge. A perfectly new vision in the teachers’ role is essential for this task. In place of the existing teacher-centred method, a pupil-centred method based on activities and competencies is expected from this new educa- tional process in which teachers should be prepared to face challenges.

  • Chatting Sri Lanka: Powerful Communications in Colonial Times
    Chatting Sri Lanka: Powerful Communications in Colonial Times Justin Siefert PhD 2016 Chatting Sri Lanka: Powerful Communications in Colonial Times Justin Siefert A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements of the Manchester Metropolitan University for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of History, Politics and Philosophy Manchester Metropolitan University 2016 Abstract: The thesis argues that the telephone had a significant impact upon colonial society in Sri Lanka. In the emergence and expansion of a telephone network two phases can be distinguished: in the first phase (1880-1914), the government began to construct telephone networks in Colombo and other major towns, and built trunk lines between them. Simultaneously, planters began to establish and run local telephone networks in the planting districts. In this initial period, Sri Lanka’s emerging telephone network owed its construction, financing and running mostly to the planting community. The telephone was a ‘tool of the Empire’ only in the sense that the government eventually joined forces with the influential planting and commercial communities, including many members of the indigenous elite, who had demanded telephone services for their own purposes. However, during the second phase (1919-1939), as more and more telephone networks emerged in the planting districts, government became more proactive in the construction of an island-wide telephone network, which then reflected colonial hierarchies and power structures. Finally in 1935, Sri Lanka was connected to the Empire’s international telephone network. One of the core challenges for this pioneer work is of methodological nature: a telephone call leaves no written or oral source behind.
