Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This thesis is offered as a contribution to the study of the medieval history of Ceylon. In this study an attempt is made to examine the historical developments mainly political in the principal kingdom of Ceylon in the fifteenth century and in the early part of the sixteenth century. The first chapter surveys the original sources which could be utilized for the study of this period. Major part of this chapter is devoted to make an assessment of the historical value of the Rajavaliya. The second chapter deals mainly with the origin of the kingdom of Kotte. The activities of the Alakesvaras and the building of the fortress of Kotte are studied in it. In the same chapter the Chinese invasion and its repurcussions on the development of the kindom are studied. The third and fourth chapters are on the reign of Parakramabahu VI. While an attempt has been made to trace the ancestry of this king the political events that took place in his reign are discussed in detail. The fifth chapter discusses the historical developments that took place in the kingdom of Kotte after the death of Parakraonabahu VI up to the partition of the kingdom in 1521 as a result of the Vijayaba-kollaya. The sixth chapter deals mainly with the foundation of the kingdom of Udarata. The last chapter deals with the Portuguese activities in the Island during the earliest part of their stay in the Island.
Download or read book Re exploring the Links written by Jorge Manuel Flores and published by Otto Harrassowitz Verlag. This book was released on 2007 with total page 396 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The island of Ceilao occupied a permanent and singular place in the political imagination of early modern Portugal. Concurrently, the Portuguese left a strong imprint in the Sri Lankan collective memory of the period. Five centuries later, a group of historians, art historians, anthropologists, and linguists reflect on the multiple dimensions of this phenomenon by rethinking texts and maps, ruined churches and ivory caskets, oral tales and Creole communities. Authored by 15 international scholars, Re-exploring the Links is divided in four parts: "Political Realities and Cultural Imagination"; "Religion: Con. ict and Interaction"; "Space and Heritage: Construction, Representation"; "Language and Ethnicity, Identity and Memory". While published on the occasion of the Portuguese arrival in Sri Lanka five centuries ago, this book is far from being a celebratory piece. Re-exploring the Links does not conform to nationalist models of historical interpretation and refuses both the rhetoric of discovery and the rhetoric of aggression. The aim of the volume is not to celebrate "encounters", but to reinvent an academic debate, independent of any political agenda and concerning a history that is Portuguese and Sri Lankan alike.INTRODUCTORY ESSAYChandra R. de Silva, Portugal and Sri Lanka: Recent Trends in HistoriographyPOLITICAL REALITIES AND CULTURAL IMAGINATION S.

Download or read book Exploring Confrontation written by Michael Roberts and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2021-09-01 with total page 86 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sri Lanka has been the meeting point of many ideologies and ways of being. This has spelt heterogeneity, syncretism and conflict. In drawing upon the practices of empirical research promoted by Western intellectual traditions, the author demonstrates the strengths of these practices through his contextualised engagement with the pogroms of 1915 and 1983, as well as other incidents, as at the same time he delineates some of the limits of empiricist rationality. This book is replete with rich ethnographic detail and serves as an exercise in historical anthropology which illuminates Sri Lanka's political culture. It not only opens out the contrast between Western and Indian world views, but also explores the human condition by bringing out the immediacy surrounding acts of victimisation and human beings in conflict.

Download or read book Doctoral Dissertations on South Asia 1966 1970 written by Frank Joseph Shulman and published by University of Michigan Press. This book was released on 2020-09-24 with total page 249 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume gathers the harvest of recent doctoral dissertations on South Asia, principally from North America and Western Europe, but exclusive of theses from universities in South Asia itself. The yield—1305 dissertations based on research carried out during the early and middle nineteen-sixties and brought to completion between 1966 and 1970—is even greater than one would have guessed, eloquent testimony to the expansion of South Asian studies in the West over the last decade. Doctoral Dissertations on South Asia seeks to be a comprehensive compilation of recently completed theses dealing in whole or in part with the former civilizations and the contemporary affairs of Ceylon, India, Nepal and Pakistan. At the same time, this work provides striking testimony of the dynamic growth of Asian Studies outside the subcontinent and particularly in the United States, Great Britain, Germany and France, where most of the major centers of scholarship are presently found. It is an interdisciplinary work covering the natural sciences as well as the humanities and social sciences.
