Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Recent Disturbances and Military Executions in Ceylon My principal object in the following Notes is to attract attention to the wrongs of the inhabitants of the Kandian Provinces in Ceylon; and the attempt to illustrate their early history and present position is in furtherance of the same purpose. Although I was summoned before the Committee of the House of Commons on Ceylon affairs, I had there only to answer such questions as were asked at me, and could be of comparatively little service to the cause I advocate - viz., justice, without unnecessary delay, to the Kandian people. Before parliament was prorogued last summer, twelve months had elapsed from the time that great slaughter had been made amongst the inhabitants of the Kandian country, by the military acting in aid of the civil power. This slaughter was followed by so-called martial law and military executions, of which I cannot perceive any justification in the "Papers relative to the affairs of Ceylon, presented to both Houses of Parliament by command of her Majesty, in February 1849" - commonly called the Blue Book. On the contrary, I see much on the part of the Ceylon government which requires explanation, and much which I believe it will be impossible to reconcile with sound policy, or to prove consistent with good faith and common justice. In Ceylon, from 1826 until 1837, I had many opportunities of acquiring information on the subjects hereafter referred to, and particularly when I was commandant, district judge, and government agent in Màtale - a district, the people of which suffered severely previous to and during the supercession of law in 1848, (p. 220, Ceylon Blue Book.)

Book excerpt: A magisterial history of resistance to the rising of the British empire As the call for a new understanding of our national history grows louder, Britain’s Empire turns the received imperial story on its head. Richard Gott recounts the long-overlooked narrative of resisters, revolutionaries and revolters who stood up to the might of the Empire. In a story of almost continuous colonialist violence, Britain’s crimes unspool from the beginning of the eighteenth century to the Indian Mutiny, spanning the globe from Ireland to Australia. Capturing events from the perspective of the colonised, Gott unearths the all-but-forgotten stories excluded from mainstream histories.

Download or read book Crime Justice and Society in Colonial Sri Lanka written by John D. Rogers and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2023-05-03 with total page 266 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Crime, Justice and Society in Colonial Sri Lanka (1987) examines Sri Lanka’s justice system under British rule, and concentrates on two of its aspects: the effectiveness of the administration of law and order, and the relationship between crime and social change. It argues that the colonial judicial system did penetrate rural areas, but did not operate in the way the British intended. Instead, Sri Lankans adapted the state institutions so that they functioned more effectively within indigenous culture.
Download or read book Pluriversal sovereignty and the state written by Ajay Parasram and published by Manchester University Press. This book was released on 2024-06-11 with total page 250 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book documents the political and cosmological processes through which the idea of ‘total territorial rule’ came into being in the context of early- to mid-nineteenth-century Ceylon (Sri Lanka). Analysing ideas at the core of the modern international system, Pluriversal sovereignty and the state develops a decolonial theoretical framework informed by a ‘pluriverse’ of multiple ontologies of sovereignty to argue that the territorial state itself is an outcome of imperial globalisation. Anti-colonialism up to the middle of the nineteenth century was grounded in genealogies and practices of sovereignty that developed in many localities. By the second half of the century, however, the global state system and the states within it were forming through colonising and anti-colonising vectors. By focusing on the ontological conflicts that shaped the state and empire, we can rethink the birth of the British Raj and locate it in Ceylon some 50 years earlier than in India. In this way, the book makes a theoretical contribution to postcolonial and decolonial studies in globalisation and international relations by considering the ontological significance of ‘total territorial rule’ as it emerged historically in Ceylon. Through emphasising one important manifestation of modernity and coloniality — the territorial state — the book contributes to studies in the politics of ontological pluralism in sovereignty, postcolonial and decolonial international studies, and globalisation through colonial encounters.
Download or read book Government and Politics in Sri Lanka written by A. R. Rajah and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2017-04-21 with total page 180 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book analyses where Sri Lanka stands as a state that has in place liberal democratic state-institutions but exhibits the characteristics of an authoritarian state. Using Michel Foucault’s concept of biopolitics, the author argues that Sri Lanka enacted racist legislations and perpetrated mass-atrocities on the Tamils as part of its biopolitics of institutionalising and securing a Sinhala-Buddhist ethnocratic state-order. The book also explores the ways that, apart from military action, power relations produce the effects of battle, and thus the way that peace can often become a means of waging war.
