Abstract:
In modern Sri Lankan society, caste has become less significant as a marker of social identity and exclusion than was the case in the past. While acknowledging this trend across South Asian societies, the literature does not adequately explain why this is happening. Increasing urbanization, the growing number of inter-caste marriages, the expanding middle class, and the bulging youth population have all been suggested as contributory factors. In rural Sri Lanka, family names are used as identifiers of family and kinship groups within each caste. The people belonging to the “low castes” identif

Abstract:
The only notable works on poetics and prosody that survive in Pali are the Subodhālankāra (comprising, in effect, Kārikā and Vrtti) and Vuttodaya. They have been ascribed to the twelfth-century Sinhalese monk Sangharakkhita and described, almost from the outset, as ‘dependent upon Sanskrit models’ and ‘based entirely upon Sanskrit prosody’ respectively. Indeed the Vrtti names a ‘Dandi’ as its basic source. The Pali Text Society's 2000 edition of the Subodhālankāra, complete with two versions of the Vrtti, compiled by P. S. Jaini, has registered many, but by no means all of the parallel passage

Abstract:
This article analyzes the historical role of Vajira, the first professional female dancer of the “classical” Sinhalese style – the Kandyan dance. The focus is on how her life’s work in training and presenting women on theatre stage in dances choreographed by her has largely influenced the modern culture of Sri Lanka. Vajira’s extraordinary career is described, and her most important ballets, tours, and awards are named. The article describes in some detail some of her numerous contributions to modern dance training and highlights her role as teacher in the development of children’s dance train

Abstract:
The era of the Sinhalese Kingdom of Kotte (1412 – 1597 A.D.), named after its capital, Kotte, is considered the golden era of literary and educational activities in historical Sri Lanka. The royal patronage, scholarly Buddhist monks and their monastic or pirivena education system with diverse subjects and curricula were known to be behind the success of literary and educational activities in the Kotte period. Although Buddhist monasteries (pirivenas) were the known educational institutes that prevailed in historical Sri Lanka, there has been a lacuna in identifying the specific education syste

Abstract:
Abstract In this chapter and the next we explore a form of exorcism that, in sharp contrast to the countersorcery ritual, does seek to reintegrate participants with their former identities and milieus. What is peculiar to this ritual process is how it inhibits the kind of idiosyncratic exegeses we have just heard about. Far from enabling endless, private interpretations, it is prescriptive, even “totalizing, ” as Bruce Kapferer also characterizes Sinhalese exorcisms (1983), that is, it enforces a reality in which only one kind of consciousness and subjectivity is possible (1983: 5).

Abstract:
Abstract The Maldives are a double chain of islands in the Indian Ocean stretching for almost 1000 km south of Sri Lanka (74,75). There are more than 1200 islands (only 202 are inhabited), grouped into 19 atolls. The word atoll itself comes from Dhivehi, a Sinhalese dialect which is the language of the Maldives, and means an administrative district (4). The name Maldives is believed to have originated from the Sanskrit word malodheep, meaning garland, presumably from the appearance of the chain of islands from the deck of a ship. Marco Polo called the Maldives ‘the flower of the Indies’.
