Book excerpt: The battle for Ceylon During the first decade of the 19th century the struggle for imperial domination still raged across the globe. Britain and France were at war as the tide that swept away the Bourbon monarchy in bloody revolution gained momentum under the genius of Napoleon Bonaparte and was felt from Europe to the East and West Indies. Britain in dominating the Indian sub-continent was in conflict with martial cultures who often had French backing. Here the future Duke of Wellington would make his name before his greater military glories in Iberia. The tear-drop shaped island of Ceylon a rich resource of spice, tea and other exotic trade goods-and a country which would add another eastern jewel to the imperial crown-had, of course, not escaped Britain's notice. Predictably, the indigenous population, particularly in the form of the rulers of the kingdom of Kandy, took issue with the prospect of British rule and opposed British Army regular troops, supported by the natives of the Honourable East India Company's army, with force. This book recounts a very little reported campaign to subjugate the Kandyians. It was a savagely a war fought over difficult terrain and one which did not decide who would rule Ceylon. This book will fascinate those interested in the history of warfare during the Napoleonic period and the story of the campaign is supported in this special Leonaur edition by an historical overview of the period to provide a first hand account context and understanding of the wider conflict. Leonaur editions are newly typeset and are not facsimiles; each title is available in softcover and hardback with dustjacket; our hardbacks are cloth bound and feature gold foil lettering on their spines and fabric head and tail bands.

Download or read book Sri Lanka in the Modern Age written by Nira Wickramasinghe and published by University of Hawaii Press. This book was released on 2006-03-31 with total page 396 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since the late 1970s civil war has left Sri Lanka in an almost permanent state of crisis; conventional histories of the country by liberal and Marxist scholars in the last two decades have thus tended to focus on the state’s failure to accommodate the needs and demands of the minorities. The entire history of the twentieth century has been tied to this one key issue. Sri Lanka in the Modern Age offers a fresh perspective based on new research. Above all, the author has written a history of the peoples of Sri Lanka rather than a history of the nation-state.

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.)
