    Sri Lanka Island Tour (19 Days / 18 Nights)

    Sri Lanka Island Tour (19 Days / 18 Nights) AIRPORT - NEGOMBO DAY 01 Arrival at the Bandaranayake International Airport, meet your driver/guide and transfer to the first hotel in Negombo by a luxury car. Visits: Colonial Dutch Fort Close to the seafront near the lagoon mouth are the ruins of the old Dutch fort, which has a fine gateway inscribed with the date 1678. Also there is a green, called the Esplanade, where cricket matches are a big attraction. As the fort grounds are now occupied by the town’s prison, the only way you’ll get a peek inside is by committing a serious crime. You’d need to be very interested in old Dutch architecture to go to such lengths. Dutch Canal The boat ride/safari that takes you along the colonial Dutch canal which runs through Waikkal, gives you snap shots of bird life, essentially comprising waders, stunning kingfishers, rare pied kingfishers, bee-eaters, Brahminy kites, etc. Water monitors, bearing an uncanny resemblance to crocodiles, are also bound to make an appearance, so keep your eye out for a glimpse! You can prolong your boat journey by following the canal onto the sea, where you can continue onwards to Negombo where you can stop at the town, do some shopping and return via boat to Waikkal. 2nd biggest Fish Market in Sri Lanka The Negombo Fishing Village, also known as the Lellama by the locals, is located across the lagoon bridge, near the Old Dutch Gate. The large open air fish market is the second largest in the country.

    religions Article The “Abhorrent” Practice of Animal Sacrifice and Religious Discrimination in the Global South Danielle N. Boaz Africana Studies Department, University of North Carolina at Charlotte, Garinger 133, 9201 University City Blvd., Charlotte, NC 28223, USA; [email protected] Received: 31 January 2019; Accepted: 26 February 2019; Published: 6 March 2019 Abstract: In September 2018, the majority Buddhist government of Sri Lanka approved draft legislation banning animal sacrifice at Hindu Temples. The Cabinet referred to these sacrifices as a “primitive” practice that can cause physical and mental harm to society. Similarly, the Federal Supreme Court of Brazil is presently evaluating the constitutionality of a proposed bill banning animal sacrifice in the state of Rio Grande do Sul. Proponents of this bill argue that animal rights supersede the religious freedom of the adherents of Afro-Brazilian faiths who perform these sacrifices. They further contend that the practice of animal sacrifice poses a threat to public health. Through the evaluation of these cases, this article will consider the relationship between animal sacrifice and religious freedom in the Global South. Using Brazil and Sri Lanka as examples, it will explore how laws and litigation protecting animal welfare can often be a guise for racial discrimination and religious intolerance. Keywords: Brazil; Sri Lanka; religious freedom; animal sacrifice; religious intolerance Introduction In September of 2014, the High Court of Himachal Pradesh in India wrote a 110-page decision banning the practice of animal sacrifice in the jurisdiction. The Justices described these ritual slaughters as “abhorrent and dastardly,” and argued that new rites “which are based on reasoning and scientific temper” should supplant “superstitions” that have no place “in the modern era of reasoning.” (Sharma et al.

Box 1346 Ann Arbor, Ml 48106- 1346 ABSTRACT The two important temples at Munnesvaram, on the west coast of Sri Lanka, are Hindu and are run by Tamil priests. Their patronage is largely Sinhalese Buddhist. They are the context for an examination of the relations between Hinduism and Buddhism in modern Sri Lanka in a period of violent ethnic tension between Tamils and Sinhalese. The thesis falls in two parts. The first deals with the history of the temples in the colonial and post-colonial eras, the history of religious difference, and with a social analysis of the two groups of priests and of the worshippers. This establishes grounds for a consideration of current anthropological debates on hierarchy and on historicity.

  • Religious Harmony and Communication Between Hinduism and Buddhism in Sri Lanka

    Religious Harmony and Communication Between Hinduism and Buddhism in Sri Lanka

    Asian Studies International Journal - Vol. 1, No. 1, January 2015 - ISSN: 2279-1949 RELIGIOUS HARMONY AND COMMUNICATION BETWEEN HINDUISM AND BUDDHISM IN SRI LANKA Ponnuthurai Chandrasegaram Lecturer, Department of Hindu Civilization, University of Jaffna, Sri Lanka Abstract Religious harmony is a present-day issue all over the world. Sri Lanka,is a multi-religious nation with people of strong religious beliefs,(when compared to other countries).In general there had been comparative religious harmony in its long history. Occasionally, sporadic incidents of disharmony appeared. Sri Lanka is the only country which nurtured Theravada Buddhism for two and a half millennia, in its purest form. Still it continued to preserve multi-ethnic and multi-religious groups and permitted them to continue their cultural independence. As in India, in Sri Lanka too, the earlier Hindu religion continued its universal and tolerant outlook. Political events and the rise and fall of the kingdoms had their effect on Hindu – Buddhist relations. However in practice, the Buddhists continued their worship of Hindu deities. Kataragamais the centre of worship for Hindu – Buddhist worshippers. Sri Pada attracts Buddhists as the shrine for Buddha‟s Foot – printand Hindus call it Sivan- Oli- Padamalai (The mountain of light of Siva‟s feet).Nagadipa, the little Island in the North, attracts pilgrims – both Hindus and Buddhists. INTRODUCTION The age - old Sri Lankan religions Hinduism-(12.61% of the Population) and Buddhism - (70.19% of the Population)look up to India for their cultural roots. The very word Hindu means those beyond the River Indus. It was used by Persians and Greeks, who lived in the West of India.

    Man In India, 93 (2-3) : 271-288 © Serials Publications ETHNOHISTORY THROUGH INTRACULTURAL PERSPECTIVES: A STUDY OF EMBEDDED HISTORY OF KARAIYAR OF JAFFNA PENINSULA (SRI LANKA) AND COROMANDEL COAST (INDIA) Shanmugarajah Srikanthan Karaiyar (lit.: karai = ‘shore’; yar = ‘people’) is an indigen ous Tamil speaking fishing caste inhabiting both on the coastal belt of Jaffna peninsula in Sri Lanka and Coromandel coast of Tamilnadu in South India. They share a common ethnohistory and cultural relations over several centuries; yet exhibit distinctive features of local history and cultural identity in their own terms. This study attempts to trace how Karaiyars remember, narrate, cherish and transmit their historical consciousness in terms of folk or social history. This paper also tries to bring out ethnohistorically the embedded nature of single universal system, though they are divided by Bay of Bengal. As Romila Thapar (2000: 137-38) distinguishes two types of historical consciousness: (1) the embedded history , normally found among lineage based societies (2) the externalized history, normally found in state-based systems, Karaiyars inhabiting in two different nations share both these histories. The focus of this paper aims to shed more light on tracing the ethnohistory through intracultural perspectives, as Karaiyars share a “common universal system” historically and culturally between these two coastal tracts. Introduction Anthropology and history are intertwined in many cultural domains in general and in the domain of ethnohistory in particular. Both these disciplines have strong inter-related dimensions in popular and local history that stress the study of particular caste or ethnic group from bottom rather than the history that is shaped by interpretations based on ideological impositions emanating from dominant classes (Smith and Smith 1987).

I am also greatly beholden to York St John University for their scholarship programme, without which I would not have been in position to pursue this research. Further appreciation must be extended to my colleagues within the Faculty of Education and Theology, as well as to Dr John Rule and all those involved in overseeing research at YSJU, who each have contributed to the completion of this thesis in their own invaluable ways. This research would of course not have been at all possible without the contribution of various former and current Sri Lankan citizens of myriad ethnicities and religions, and so substantial thanks is owed to all participants referenced within, as well as to those who assisted with the preparation and execution of my field work.
