Archeological Research conducted at Peelekema Aranya Senasanaya and nearby area. Location - Peelekema Aranya Senasanaya is located at Kudaoya Village of Kudaoya Gra- ma Niladhari Division of Deivisional Secretariat Division Wellawaya of Monaragala District in Uva Province. Present Peelekema Aranyaya Senasanaya is located at one part of this site. The cave with carved ditches had been developed and used as a cottage later. In addition to this cave there are other two caves with engraved ditches on the rocks in various sized located at this premises. Further, facts of a rock cut staircase and Malaka Pana Bamma and facts of two ruined buildings believed to be of Anuradhapura Era have been revealed. The most important facts found at this premises are two inscriptions inscribed at two places of the same rock belong to C.E..4century. Among those facts there is a pond beatifying the place made by constructing dams to retain water flowing from a rock spout is used in the pre- sent day also. An amount of Rs. 60,831.50 has been allocated for this investigation pro- ject. Performance Report - 2015 200 Conclusion and suggestions - when considering the archeological value it is proper to declare this premises as a archeological reservation. According- ly, it is suitable to identify the zone where archeological facts are available and separate the area by fixing boundary stones and the adjoining premises without archeological facts should be assigned for the development activities of the monastery (Aranya Senasanaya). Performance Report - 2015 201 Archeological researches conducted at Jaffna fort area Location -This research was conducted at Divisional Secretariat Division Nallur of Jaffna District in the Northern Province. At the first phase ancient monuments of the part belong to the area spread from 1st cross lane to 4th cross lane of either side from 300 meters away of the A 9 road of Jaffna Fort were identified. An amount of Rs. 93,987.50 was allocated for this project. Objectives of the project - although many archeological researches were conducted at the area of Jaffna Fort a formal archeological research has not been done at the urban area around the Fort. The main purpose of this project is to identify monuments of archeologi- cal value, proposing special monuments to be gazette as reserved monuments in order to determine antiqueness for the development projects conducted after the long term war. Overview, observations and suggestions- 41 ancient monuments have been identified under this research conducted during the period from 28.07.2015 to 07.08.2015. Monu- ments belong to urban area located on the east which is considered as Dutch Colony site constructed based on the Jaffna Fort and belongs to Grama Niladhari Divisions J 72 Sin- nakadei, J 73 Jaffna West, J 74 Jaffna East were identified under this research. It has been suggested to conserve and gazette 10 monuments as reserved monuments out of the identified monuments considering the risk of devastation and architectural and archeological value of them. Performance Report - 2015 202 Old monuments Identified Performance Report - 2015 203 Investigation Project of identifying archeological sites—Divisional Secretariat Division Thambalagamuwa—Trincomalee District Due to the long term war archeological researches conducted within the Eastern Province were minimum. To fulfill this requirement this investigation project was implemented with the coordination of Eastern Provincial Office during the period from 13.12.2015 to 31.12.2015 with the objective of identifying and reporting of archeological sites in Divi- sional Secretariat Division Thambalagamuwa in Trincomalee District under the financial provisions allocated in 2015 for archeological affairs of Trincomalee District. The archeological facts found from Thambalagamuwa area which was called as “ Tham- balakamam”, “Thambala”, “Thambavita” , “ Thambapitthi” reveal that the archeological sites in tis area are belong to Anuradhapura and Polonnaru eras. Conclusions and suggestions - 17 archeological sites could be identified at this Divisional Secretariat Division area. Out of them Singha Kanda Kataram Lena (cave with carved ditches) , Monara Kanda ruins site, Viharakanda Archeological site, Ruins at the Ismath- tha of Galmetiyawa tank, Galpokuna Rajamaha Viharaya, Kodigala Kanda ruins, Nishshankamalla Gawutha inscription and Mollipothana ruins are places of significant archeological value.

    Discourses of Ethno-Nationalism and Religious Fundamentalism

    DISCOURSES OF ETHNO-NATIONALISM AND RELIGIOUS FUNDAMENTALISM SRI LANKAN DISCOURSES OF ETHNO-NATIONALISM AND RELIGIOUS FUNDAMENTALISM By MYRA SIVALOGANATHAN, B.A. A Thesis Submitted to the School of Graduate Studies In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Master of Arts McMaster University © Copyright by Myra Sivaloganathan, June 2017 M.A. Thesis – Myra Sivaloganathan; McMaster University – Religious Studies. McMaster University MASTER OF ARTS (2017) Hamilton, Ontario (Religious Studies) TITLE: Sri Lankan Discourses of Ethno-Nationalism and Religious Fundamentalism AUTHOR: Myra Sivaloganathan, B.A. (McGill University) SUPERVISOR: Dr. Mark Rowe NUMBER OF PAGES: v, 91 ii M.A. Thesis – Myra Sivaloganathan; McMaster University – Religious Studies. Abstract In this thesis, I argue that discourses of victimhood, victory, and xenophobia underpin both Sinhalese and Tamil nationalist and religious fundamentalist movements. Ethnic discourse has allowed citizens to affirm collective ideals in the face of disparate experiences, reclaim power and autonomy in contexts of fundamental instability, but has also deepened ethnic divides in the post-war era. In the first chapter, I argue that mutually exclusive narratives of victimhood lie at the root of ethnic solitudes, and provide barriers to mechanisms of transitional justice and memorialization. The second chapter includes an analysis of the politicization of mythic figures and events from the Rāmāyaṇa and Mahāvaṃsa in nationalist discourses of victory, supremacy, and legacy. Finally, in the third chapter, I explore the Liberation Tiger of Tamil Eelam’s (LTTE) rhetoric and symbolism, and contend that a xenophobic discourse of terrorism has been imposed and transferred from Tamil to Muslim minorities. Ultimately, these discourses prevent Sri Lankans from embracing a multi-ethnic and multi- religious nationality, and hinder efforts at transitional justice.

  • Rearticulations of Enmity and Belonging in Postwar Sri Lanka

    Rearticulations of Enmity and Belonging in Postwar Sri Lanka

    BUDDHIST NATIONALISM AND CHRISTIAN EVANGELISM: REARTICULATIONS OF ENMITY AND BELONGING IN POSTWAR SRI LANKA by Neena Mahadev A dissertation submitted to Johns Hopkins University in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Baltimore, Maryland October, 2013 © 2013 Neena Mahadev All Rights Reserved Abstract: Based on two years of fieldwork in Sri Lanka, this dissertation systematically examines the mutual skepticism that Buddhist nationalists and Christian evangelists express towards one another in the context of disputes over religious conversion. Focusing on the period from the mid-1990s until present, this ethnography elucidates the shifting politics of nationalist perception in Sri Lanka, and illustrates how Sinhala Buddhist populists have increasingly come to view conversion to Christianity as generating anti-national and anti-Buddhist subjects within the Sri Lankan citizenry. The author shows how the shift in the politics of identitarian perception has been contingent upon several critical events over the last decade: First, the death of a Buddhist monk, which Sinhala Buddhist populists have widely attributed to a broader Christian conspiracy to destroy Buddhism. Second, following the 2004 tsunami, massive influxes of humanitarian aid—most of which was secular, but some of which was connected to opportunistic efforts to evangelize—unsettled the lines between the interested religious charity and the disinterested secular giving. Third, the closure of 25 years of a brutal war between the Sri Lankan government forces and the ethnic minority insurgent group, the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE), has opened up a slew of humanitarian criticism from the international community, which Sinhala Buddhist populist activists surmise to be a product of Western, Christian, neo-colonial influences.

It depends upon the conduct ofthe people that constitute the nation. We must recognize that the country does not mean just the lifeless soil around us. The country consists ofa conglomeration ofpeople and it is what they make ofit. To rectify the world and put it on proper path, we have to first rec­ tify ourselves and our conduct.... At the present time, when we see all over the country confusion, fear and anxiety, each one in every home must con­ ., tribute his share ofcool, calm love to suppress the anger and fury. No governmental authority can sup­ press it as effectively and as quickly as you can by love and brotherliness.
