Narrative Fragments Of Independence Share A Unifying Sri Lankan Narrative

Narrative Fragments Of Independence Share A Unifying Sri Lankan Narrative
Rajan Philips
Sri Lanka turns 73 this week, 73 years since becoming independent. Over the last 10 to 15 years, I have been writing a piece almost every February to mark Sri Lanka’s independence anniversary. I wrote one for the 70
th anniversary, in 2018, but unbeknownst to me and many others, there was a different and far more precious souvenir that was being prepared to mark that special occasion. The precious product came out the following year, in 2019, entitled “Archive of Memory – Reflections on 70 years of Independence.” It was the brainchild and consummate achievement of Malathi de Alwis, who passed away recently causing great shock and much sadness in Sri Lanka’s social, activist, and academic circles. ....

Malathi de Alwis, friend, mentor, teacher, feminist, anthropologist, birder, foodie and the most amazing cook, passed away on January 21. As we mourn this utterly devastating, untimely loss of one of the most prolific and most important feminist scholars of our time, I wanted to add my voice to those reflections about her work and her legacy. In her own words, her work consistently tried to act as a bridge between the disciplines and traditions of anthropology and feminism. For me, as a feminist activist and researcher, Malathi’s work has been indispensable to understand Sinhala Buddhist nationalism and its construction of the good woman; the relationship between the nation and its women; the politics of mourning and motherhood as well as the limits and possibilities of political activism, feminist or not, in this country. These are only a few of the many themes that she tackled in her work but they are ones that struck a chord with me. ....

LankaWeb – Spread of Buddhist Education in Sri Lanka; the role played by Col Olcott and Theosophists

Posted on December 31st, 2020

The Olcott Oration delivered to the Old Boys Association of Ananda College (November 2020, Perth, Western Australia)
It can be gauged from the Buddhist publications in and around 1880s that the ordinary Sinhalese were experiencing an acute sense of despair and disquiet that colonialism had brought about a social degeneration evidenced by increased consumption of liquor and associated problems of family violence, cattle stealing, gambling, and crime. Even the colonial civil servants from numerous districts complained to the Governor that social disorganization was affecting administration, revenue collection and policing. The Sinhalese Buddhist revivalist movement and a proper assessment of Col Olcott’s contribution must be understood in this context of the rising tide of Sinhala nationalism, Buddhist confrontation with Colonialism, Christian missionary activity and increa ....
