PSALM 77
The things we have heard and understood, The things our forefathers have told us, We will tell to the next generations The glories of the Lord and his might,
He gave our ancestors strict orders, To teach it to their children, The next generation was to learn it, The children still to be born,
And these in their turn were to tell their own children So that they too would put their confidence in God. Never forgetting God's achievements,
And always keeping his commandments.

Preface
KARAMPON has been a prosperous village in the Island of Leyden. Leyden has in recent years gained prominence as the KAYTS ISLAND. Kayts is the name of the main Town in the Island wherein are situated the customs House, Police Station, Courts, Hospital, Post Office, College, Schools, Convent, Churches, Temple, a daily market cum shopping center and also a well patronized Rest House. Kayts Town boasts of a natural harbour. which is the first landing place for people coming by boats from neighbouring Islands on their way to the mainland Jaffna. Karampon adjoins Kayts Town and enjoys all the facilities available at the Town along with the services of its own.
I started compiling information as to 'who is who'- the relationships and connections - simply to cherish as a family record. In time it expanded embracing a wide circle of relations of Karampon Catholic Families which form one large great mosaic. I now present to you my endeavour in the form of this book. I do so with the keenest sense of inadequacy as you are aware that this attempt is vulnerable at hundred points. If you findsomething wrong, missing or you are in possession of relevant information kindly communicate with me. I shall try to rectify or include in the next edition or in a supplement. It has not been possible to begin from "First Generation" as "Thombu" records or even private family lineal writings or collections could not be accessed. Hence I have commenced from an era where one could trace memories (say around 1800) and from whence information was readily available.
An important feature I have to touch in relation to this book is the use of "nick" names and or "pet" names. This is to distinguish, identify and or locate family ties, as several people have had identical or similar names. Confusion had to be avoided by referring to a special attribute or trait of on individual which lingered in the family. For example "Esthaki" Thainbiah got his "name" because he is reputed to have acted so well in the title role of "Esthakiar" in the Nattu Koothu of the same name. "Panchan" Save rimuthu, got the 'name" as he walked with a sort of a leap. "Haputhalayar'Saverimuthu because his place of business was Haputale. "Kari" Pethuruvar, Pethuruvar is short "pet" form of Pethurupillai as is "Santhiavar" for Santhiapillai. "Kari"or "Kariar" shot up as he was of dark (coal) complexion. "Pariari" Packiam - the link is to his vocation or profession. I have used these "nick" or "pet" names, which were in vogue, without malice, I have to add that as the number of Karampon families
became voluminous I have for convenience divided them into four Chapters. ii

It became obvious that many Karampon Catholic Families are intertwined with families of Naranthanai, Suruvil, Allaipiddy, and even Sillalai Pandaterrupppu etc. I have therefore, with the reference to context, included some such families in this book. So as not to be monotonous I have adopted some essays on Karampon and some tracings in Tamil History ( with due acknowledgement to and the courtesy of the authors and as "common heritage of the humanity of the Tamils"). I believe that this book will be useful for people of Karampon Catholic Families in particular and others in general whether displaced and living outside or migrated abroad to eulogise past generations and guide the future ones.
I thank all those who gave me information readily. Two men I honour who encouraged me to finalise and prompted and urged me to publish this work - Rev. Firs. T.J.A. Mathuranayagam and M. Emmanuel Pius. I am very grateful to Mr. S. M. Joseph, Retired Principal, St. Anthony's R.C.School, Kayts for perusing the Script, proofreading and anywise ready to help. Many thanks to my children for the enthusiasm envinced and volunteering assistance, To my wife Lalitha Mary Theresa (Tresa) in addition, for willingly gathering information and enduring patience. God Bless all.
Peace be with you. Mariam P. Philomin

The GOSPELACCORDING TO SAINT MATHEW.
Chapter 1: Verses 1-16; 18 - 23.
A genealogy of Jesus Christ, son of David, son of Abraham; Abraham was the father of Isaac,
Isaac the father of Jacob, Jacob the father of Judah and his brothers. Judah was the father of Perez and Zerah, Tamar being their mother Perez was the father of Hezron,
Hezron the father of Ram, Ram was the father of Amminadab, Amminadab was the father of Nahshon Nahshon was the father of Salmon, Salmon was the father of Boaz, Rahab being his mother, Boaz was the father of Obed, Ruth being his mother. Obed was the father of Jesse, And Jesse was the father of King David,
David was the father of Solomon, whose mother had been Uriah's wife, Solomon was the father of Rohoboam, Rehobom was the father of Abijah, Abijah was the father of Asa, Asa was the father of Jehoshaphat, Jehoshaphat the father of Joram
- Joram the father of Azariah, Azariah was the father of Jotham, Jotham was the father of Ahaz, Ahaz, was the father of Hezekiah was the father of Manasseh, Manasseh was the father of Amon, Amon was the father of Josiah, And Josiah was the father of Jechoniah and his brothers, Then the deportation to Babylon took place.

Page 6
After the deportation to Babylon; Jechoniah was the father of Shealtiel, Sheatiel the father of Zerubbabel, Zerubbabel was the father of Abiud, Abiud the father of Eliakim Eliakim the father of Azor, Azor was the father of Zadok, Zadok the father of Achim, Achim the father of Eliud, Eliud was the father of Eleazar, Eleazer the father of Matthan, Matthan was the father of Jacob, And Jacob was the father of Joseph the husband of Mary.
Of her was born Jesus who is called Christ.
This is how Jesus Christ came to be born. His mother Mary was betrothed to Joseph; but before they came to live together she was found to be with child through the Holy Spirit. Her husband Joseph, being a man of honour and wanting to spare her publicity, decided to divorce her informally. He had made up his mind to do this when the Angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream and said "Joseph son of David, do not be afraid to take Mary home as your wife, because she has conceived what is in her by the Holy Spirit. She will give birth to a son and you must name him Jesus, because he is the one who is to save his people from their sins.” Now all this took place to fulfil the words spoken by the Lord through the prophet; The virgin will conceive and give birth to a son and they will call him Immanuel, a name which means 'God is with us'. - This Gospel is read at Mass every year on 8th September in Celebration of the Nativity of Mother Mary.

கரம்பொன்
கரம்பொன் ஊர் இலைடன் தீவிலே துறைமுகப் பட்டினமாகிய ஊர்காவற்றுறைக்குத் 'தெற்கே அமைந்திருக்கும் வளங்கொழிக்கும் கிராமம் ஆகும். ஏர்த்தொழிலே முதற்தொழிலாய்ப் போற்றும் வேளான் மரபினர் வாழும் கிராமம் அது, அதன் எல்லைகளாய் அமைந்திருக்கும் அயற்கிராமங்களைப் பின்வரும் பாடல் அழகாகச் சித்தரிக்கின்றது.
நிட்டை விட்டெழுகின்ற விருடியென வலம்புரிகள்
நித்திலம் முதிர்ந்ததென்று நீள்கடலி னாழத்திருந்து பறை யறைகின்ற
நெய்தலைக் குடபாலதாய்க - கட்டவிழ்ந் திட்டநீர் மற்றையூர்க் கிட்டுவருங்
கவின்நாரந்தனை குணக்காய்க் கடலினிடைக் கோட்டையொடு கப்பல்பல நிற்கின்ற
காவலூர் தனைவடக்காய் அட்டதிக் கெங்கணு மன்ன தானத்திலே
அதிமேன்மை பெற்றிலங்கும் அறவோர்கள் சூழ்சுருவில் அவாசி திசையெல்லையாய்
அமைந்தவூர் கரம்பொனூரே.
கரம்பொனூர்க் கவிஞர் அ. யுவக்கீம்பிள்ளை அவர்கள் விபரிக்கும் மேற்படி எல்லைக் கிராமங்களான நாரந்தனை கிழக்கிலும், வடக்கே ஊர்காவற்றுறையும், தெற்கே சுருவிலும், மேற்கிலே கடலும் அமைந்துள்ளன. கல்விமான்களும், மறைத் தலைவர்களும், அரசியல்வாதிகளும் வாழ்ந்து புகழ்சேர்த்த கரம்பொன் உழவுத்தொழில்சார் கிராமம் என்பதை ஆரம்பத்தில் குறிப்பிட்டோம். தென்னை, பனை, வேம்பு, பூவரசு என்பன முக்கிய வான் பயிர்களில் சிலவாகும். மாரியில் ஆங்காங்கே நெல் பயிரிடப்படும். புகையிலை, வெங்காயம், மிளகாய் என்பன மாரிப்பயிர்களாகும். மரக்கறிவகைகளும் செய்கை பண்ணப்படுகின்றன. தச்சுத்தொழில், கொல்லர், பொற்கொல்லரது குடிசைத் தொழில் செய்பவர்குளுடன், பிரபல வர்த்தகர்களும் கரம்பொனில் உள்ளனர்.
செல்விருந்தோம்பி வருவிருந்து பார்த்திருக்கும் மாண்புறு மங்கையர் மல்கிவாழும் பொற்புறு பூமி இது. பண்பிலும் ஒழுக்கத்திலும் சமுதாய ஒற்றுமையிலும் கலை கலாச்சாரங்களிலும் சிறந்து தீவகத்தில் முன்னணியில் திகழும் மக்கள் கரம்பொன் மக்கள் என்று நன்கு அறியப்பட்டவர்கள், தமிழ்ப்பற்றும் சமயப்பற்றும் மேலோங்க வளமுடன் வாழுகின்றனர்.
"கரம்பொன்” என்ற ஊர்ப்பெயர் வரப் பல காரணங்கள் கூறப்படுகின்றன. கரம்பைக்காடு - அதாவது முட்பற்றைகளும் புதர்களும் நிறைந்திருந்தமையால் அவ்வூர் கரம்பைக்காடு என முன்னர் அழைக்கப்பட்டது என்றும் அது காலப்போக்கில் "கரம்பொன் என மருவியது என்பர். தென் இந்தியாவில் திருநெல்வேலி மாவட்டத்தில் "திருக்கரம்பொனூர் என்ற கிராமம் இருப்பதால் அங்கிருந்து வந்து இங்கு குடியேறிய திருநெல்வேலித் தமிழர் தம் ஊர்ப்பெயரை மறவாது அதை இங்கும் சூட்டினர் என்பாருமுளர். இன்னும் இவ்விடத்தை ஆண்ட நிலப்பிரபுவின் ஊனக்கரத்திற்கு பொன்னாற் செய்த கரம் பொருத்தியிருந்ததால்

இவ்விடத்திற்குக் "கரம்பொனூர் என பெயர் வழங்கியது என்பர். தொட்டதெல்லாம் பொன் ஆகும். ஆற்றல்மிகு கரங்களைக் கொண்ட மக்கள் வாழும் ஊர் என்பதால் 'கரம்பொன் என்றபெயர் வந்தது என்று விளக்க முற்படுவாருமுளர்
கரம்பொன்-கிழக்கு, மேற்கு, வடக்கு, தெற்கு என நான்கு பிரிவுகளை உடையது. கரம்பொன் வடக்கு ஆதிக்குடியேற்றப் பகுதியாகுமெனத் தொல்பொருள் ஆராய்ச்சி நிபுணர்கள் குறிப்பிட்டுள்ளனர். மாட்டுக்காலை என நீண்டகாலமாக அழைக்கப்பட்ட இப்பகுதியில் முற்காலத்தில், வடக்கன்மாடுகள் கப்பல்களில் கொண்டுவந்து இறக்கப்பட்டு இங்கு அமைக்கப்பட்ட பட்டிகளில் அடைக்கப்பட்டு, உழவருக்கு விற்கப்பட்டதை நாம் அறிவோம். சமீபகாலம்வரை தொற்றுநோயாளரை தனிமைப்படுத்தும் தடைமுகாமும் இங்கு செயற்பட்டது. நல்லின ஆடுகளும் இங்கு கொண்டுவரப்பட்டு பின்னர் விநியோகிக்கப்பட்டதை பலர் மறந்திருக்கமாட்டார்கள். இப்பகுதி தொன்மையான குடியேற்றம் இருந்தபகுதியென தொல்பொருள் ஆராச்சி நிபுணரான கலாநிதி பொஇரகுபகுதி கூறியுள்ளார். அவரது குறிப்புகளின்படி இப்பகுதி செம்மண்கலந்த பூமியாயிருந்தது எனத் தெரிகின்றது. அதனாலேயே இப்பகுதியில், மக்கள் குடியிருந்தனர் எனவும் குருதப்படுகின்றது. இப்பகுதி, மக்கள் குடியிருப்புக்களை கொண்டிருந்தமையால் போத்துக்கேயர் இங்கு ஒரு கோட்டையை அமைத்தனர். இக்கோட்டை சிதைந்த நிலையில் இன்றும் காணப்படுகின்றது. மாட்டுகு காலை இருந்தமைக்கான தொழுவங்களின் சிதைவுகளும் காணப்படுகின்றன. இங்குள்ள கோட்டை "பழங்கோட்டை” என்று இன்னும் அழைக்கப்படுகின்றது. போர்த்துக்கேய கீழ்த்திசை வரலாற்று நிபுணரான இலண்டன் பல்கலைக்கழகத்தைச் சேர்ந்த C.R. Boxer அவர்கள் இலங்கையில் உள்ள போர்த்துக்கேயர் கால கோட்டைகளை ஆராய்ந்தபோது ஊர்காவற்றுறையின் அருகே கரம்பொன் வடக்கில் அமைந்துள்ள இக் கோட்டை பற்றியும் ஆராய்ந்து அது போர்த்துக்கேயரது கோட்டை தான் என்பதை உறுதிப்படுத்தியுள்ளார். கொழும்புப் பல்கலைக்கழக வரலாற்று அறிஞரான கலாநிதி திகிரி அபயசிங்காவும், கலாநிதி இராமகிருஷ்ணனும் கூடவே வந்து இவ் ஆய்வினை மேற்கொண்டனர் என்பது குறிப்பிடற்பாலது. ஊர்காவற்றுறை 1947ம் ஆண்டு பட்டினசபை ஆனதும் இப்பகுதி புதியபட்டினத்துடன் இணைக்கப்பட்டது.
இந்துசமயச் செழுமையில் ஊறிப் பக்தியில் திழைத்த மக்கள் கரம்பொனில் வாழுகின்றனர். கரம்பொன் கிழக்கிலும் மேற்கிலும் ஒவ்வோர் முருகமூர்த்தி ஆலயங்கள் உள. மத்தியில் இரு வைரவர் ஆலயங்கள் காணப்படுகின்றன. கரம்பொன் மேற்கிலே கடலோரமாக அமைந்துள்ள கண்ணகி அம்மன் ஆலயம் 600 வருடப்பழமை வாய்ந்தது என அதன் அறங்காவலர் கூறுகிறார்கள். பங்குனி உத்தரத்தில் இங்கு விசேட பொங்கல் நடைபெறும். வைகாசிப் பொங்கல் கிராமிய முறையில் இடம்பெறும் ஒரு சிறப்பு அம்சமாகும். நூற்றுக்கணக்கானோர் இங்குவந்து பொங்கிப் படைப்பர். இவ் ஆலயத்தின் அருகே புராதன இறங்குதுறை ஒன்று உண்டு. ஊர்காவற்றுறை துறைமுகமாகுமுன் இதுவே பழையதுறைமுகமாயிருந்தது என்பர். புங்குடுதீவு, நெடுந்தீவு, நயினாதீவு, முதலிய தீவுகளுக்கு சிறுபடகுகள், கட்டுமரங்களில் பிரயாணம் செய்தகாலத்தில் இவ் இறங்குதுறை வசதியாக இருந்தது என தெரியவருகிறது.
நாவலர் காலத்து மறுமலர்ச்சியை அடுத்து கரம்பொன் கிழக்கிலும், மேற்கிலும் ஒவ்வோர்
மடங்கள் எழுந்தன. கந்தபுராணம் படிக்கவும், குருபூசை முதலிய விசேட விழாக்களைக்
கொண்டாடவும் இந்த மடங்கள் பயன்பட்டன. கிழக்குமடம் பின் சிவகுருநாத வித்தியாலயம் vii

‘ஆயிற்று. மேற்குமடம் முருகமூர்த்தி ஆலயமாக உருப்பெற்றது. கரம்பொன் வடக்கில் உள்ள பருத்தியடைப்பு என்ற குறிச்சியில் கடந்த நூற்றாண்டைச் சேர்ந்த முருகன் ஆலயம் ஒன்றுண்டு. இந்தியத் தொடர்பு காரணமாக கடல் வணிகத்தில் ஈடுபட்ட மாலுமிகள் இங்கு வாழ்ந்தனர். பருத்தியடைப்பு மக்கள் கடலோடிகளாய்இருந்த காரணத்தால் தமிழ் நாட்டுத் தொடர்புகள் கலைத்துறையில் அவர்களுக்குக் கைகொடுத்தது. இசை, நடனம் ஆகியதுறைகளில் அவர்கள் சிறந்துவிளங்கினர். இவர்களுட்பலர் இலங்கை வானொலியின் இசைக் கலைஞர்களாயுமிருந்தனர் என்பது குறிப்பிடத்தக்கது.
கரம்பொன், அறிஞர்களும் கல்விமான்களும் நிறைந்த ஊர். கல்வி வளர்ச்சிக்குப் பல பாடசாலைகள் பணியாற்றுகின்றன. கரம்பொன் மேற்கில் அமெரிக்கன் மிஷன் பாடசாலையே முதலில் இருந்தது. இந்து சமய மாணவர்கள் ஊர்காவற்றுறை புனித அந்தோனியார் கல்லூரியிலேயே உயர்கல்வி கற்றுவந்தனர். இந்துசமயப் பிள்ளைகள் இந்துமதப் பாடசாலையில் கல்விபயிலல் என்ற கருத்து வலுப்பெறவே தமக்கென ஒரு பாடசாலையை அமைக்க சைவசமயப்பெரியார்கள் முன்வந்தனர். கரம் பொன் மேற்கிலே இருந்த கோவிற்காணி ஒன்றிலே ஒரு பாடசாலை ஆரம்பமாயிற்று. அதுவே இன்று சண்முகநாதன் மகாவித்தியாலயமாக விருத்தியடைந்துள்ளது. மகாதேவா சுவாமிகளே அதன் தாபகராயிருந்து அப்பாடசாலையை அடியிட்டு வளர்த்தவர் ஆவார். பன்னெடுங்காலமாக கரம்பொனில் இந்துக்களும் கிறிஸ்தவர்களும் சமய பேதமோ குரோதமோ இன்றிவாழ்ந்து வருகிறார்கள். இன்று மதத்தால் வேறுபட்டிருப்பினும் இரு சாராருக்கும் உறவுகள் உண்டு.
கரம்பொன் மத்தியில் நடுநாயகமாக கம்பீரமாய்க் காட்சியளிப்பது புனித செபஸ்தியார் ஆலயமாகும். இது இரண்டு நூற்றாண்டுப் பழமை மிக்க வரலாறுடைய ஆலயமாகும். இதன் அருகே ஒரு றோமன் கத்தோலிக்க பாடசாலை இருந்தது. தற்போது அது சிறியபுஷ்ப மகளிர் மகாவித்தியாலயமாக வளர்ச்சிபெற்று மகளிர் கல்விக்கு 70 ஆண்டுகளுக்கு மேலாக அரும்பணியாற்றி வருகின்றது. தீவுப் பகுதியில் உள்ள ஒரே ஒரு மகளிர் மகாவித்தியாலயம் இதுவே. திருக்குடும்பக் கன்னியர்சபை அருட்சகோதரிகளே இப்பாடசாலையின் வளர்ச்சிக்கு மூலகாரணமாவர்.
யாழ்மறை மாவட்டத்துக்கு அடுத்தடுத்து ஆயர்களை நல்கியது கரம்பொன் ஊரே, இலங்கையின் முதல் தமிழ் ஆயரும் முதல் தமிழ் யாழ்ப்பாண ஆயருமான எமிலியானுஸ்பிள்ளை ஆண்டகை அவர்கள் பிறந்தமண் கரம்பொன் ஊரே, தமிழர் நலன்காக்க தளராது உழைத்து, தமிழர் உரிமைக்குக் குரல்கொடுத்த முன்நாள் யாழ் ஆயர் வ. தீயோகுப்பிள்ளை அவர்களை தந்ததுவும் கரம்பொன் ஊரே இன்றைய திருமலை மட்டுநகர் ஆயரான பேரருட்திரு கிங்ஸ்லி சுவாம்பிள்ளை அவர்களையும் முன்னாள் திருமலை மட்டுநகர் ஆயர் L. R. அன்ரனி ஆண்டகை அவர்களையும் ஈன்றது கரம்பொன் ஊரே இலங்கையின் தலைசிறந்த கல்விமான்களில் ஒருவராக ஒளிவீசிய பீறர்பிள்ளை அடிகளார் உதித்த மண் கரம்பொன் என்றால் அது பெருமைக்குரியதே.
குருமாரையும் அருட்சகோதரிகளையும் கரம் பொனூர் திருச்சபைக்கு அர்ப்பணித்துள்ளது.

பதவியை வகித்து புகழ் தேடித்தந்தவர் கரம்பொன் ஊரவரான திரு. எஸ். சர்வானந்தா அவர்கள் என்பது யாவரும் அறிந்ததே. இவர் பிரதம நீதியரசர் பதவியில் இருந்து இழைப்பாறியபின் இலங்கையின் மேற்கு மாகாண ஆளுனராக (Governor) விலகாலம் சேவையாற்றினார் என்பதும் குறிப்பிடத்தக்கது. முன்னாள் அரசின் தலைமைத் தமிழ்மொழிபெயர்ப்பாளரும், எழுத்தாளரும் விமர்சகருமாய் விளங்கிய முதலியார் குலசபாநாதன், எழுத்தாளரும் சிறந்த பேச்சாளருமான பண்டிதர் தியாகராசபிள்ளை, இலங்கை வானொலியின் முன்னோடி ஒலிபரப்பாளரும், ஒலிபரப்புக்கலை" என்ற நூலை ஆக்கியவருமான சோ. சிவபாதசுந்தரம் அவர்களும் சிறுகதை எழுத்தாளரும் விமர்சகருமான காவலூர் இராஜதுரை எழுத்தாளரும் வரலாற்று ஆசிரியரும் விமர்சகரும் கல்விமானுமாகிய ஆ.சபாரெத்தினம், கரம்பொன் ஊர் யுவன்" எனும் புனைபெயர்கொண்ட கவிஞர் அ. யுவக்கீம்பிள்ளை, ஆசிரியரும் பிரபல எழுத்தாளரும், தமிழ் அபிமானியுமான திரு. எஸ்.எம்.யோசெவ் போன்ற சான்றோர் பிறந்தமனன் கரம்பொன் என்றால் அது எம் மண்ணுக்குப் பெருமையல்லவா. தீவுப் பகுதியின் முதல் பாராளுமன்றப் பிரதிநிதியாக விளங்கிய திரு.

இயல், இசை நாடகம் எனும் முத்தமிழ் கலைகளோடு பல்கலை ஆற்றல்பெற்ற கலைஞர் பலர் கரம்பொன்னூரில் வாழ்ந்து கலைப்பணி ஆற்றியுள்ளனர். குறிப்பாக பொம்மலாட்ட முறையில் அக்காலத்தில் போத்துக்கேயரால் அறிமுகப்படுத்தப்பட்ட "பாசு எனப்படும் இயேசுவின் திருப்பாடுகளின் காட்சியைக் காண்பிக்கும் தொழில் நுட்பந்தெரிந்த கிறகம் எனும் புனைபெயரில் நன்கு அறியப்பட்ட வனப்தியாம்பிள்ளை சவிரிமுத்து என்ற கலைஞரைக் குறிப்பிடாதிருக்கமுடியாது. கரம்பொன் புனித செபஸ்தியார் ஆலயத்திலும், ஊர்காவற்றுறை புனித மரியாள் ஆலயத்திலும், நாரந்தனை புனித சம்பேதுரு சம்பாவிலு ஆலயத்திலும், இயேசுவின் திருப்பாடுகளின் காட்சியை இவர் கானன்பித்துவந்தார். இவர் நாரந்தனையில் இயேசுவின் வாழ்க்கையை (பிறப்பு, மரணம், உயிர்ப்பு) அடங்கலாக "முழுப்பாக காட்டி மக்களின் அபிமானத்தைப் பெற்றதை நான் அறிவேன். பாஸ்கு பொம்மைகளை உருவாக்குவது முதல் அவற்றை நடிக்கவைத்து இயக்குவது வரை அவர் சிறப்பான கலை உத்திகளைக் கையாண்டார் என கேள்விப்பட்டுள்ளேன்,
புகையிலை வெட்டி"பாடம்பண்ணி குடில்களில் உலர்த்தி விற்பனையானவுடன், நாட்டுக்கூத்து கரம்பொண் விவசாயிகளின் பொழுதுபோக்குக் கலையாக விளங்கும். வருடாவருடம் பல நாட்டுக்கூத்து நாடகங்களை ஆலய விழாக்களை மையமாகவைத்து அரங்கேற்றுவர் மாதகல், இளவாலை, பண்டத்தரிப்பு அல்லைப்பிட்டி கருவில், நாரந்தனை முதலாம் தூர இடங்களிலிருந்தும் மக்கள் வண்டில் கட்டிவந்து பாய், போர்வைகள் கடலை கச்சானுடன் இரவிரவாய் நாடகத்தைக் கண்டுகளிப்பர் இன்றும் இந்தநாட்டுக் கூத்துக் கலை மங்கிவிடாது பாதுகாக்கப்பட்டு வருவது பாராட்டுக்குரியது. புனித அந்தோனியார் கல்லூரி பழைய மாணவர்களைத் தொடர்ந்து பாடசாலை மாணவ மாணவியர் பல நாட்டுக் கூத்து நாடகங்களை அரங்கேற்றியுள்ளமை குறிப்பிடற்பாலது. தீவகத்தில் கண்ணோட்டம் வைத்தால் கரம்பொன், நாரந்தனை, ஊர்காவற்றுறை முதலாம் இடங்களில் வசித்த பிரபல அண்ணாவிமாரின் பெயர்கள் நினைவுக்குவரும் நாடகக் கலைஞர்களின் குரல்களை ஆலயங்களில் நடைபெறும் நவநாட்களில் பாடப்படும் திரைவிருத்தம் தேவாரம் என்பனவற்றில் கேட்டுப் பரவசமடையும் பக்தர்களும் உளர். கோவில் விருத்தப்பாடல் கேட்பதற்கென்று எனது கணவர் ஒருமைல் தூரம் இரவில் நடந்து புனித செபஸ்தியார் ஆலய நவநாள் ஆராதனைகளுக்கு வருகை தருவதை

GUIDE TO REFERENCE
All families are serially numbered beginning from 1. The progenitor is given at the top of the family. Under him the Children are listed. Reference numbers given after the listed names of the children refer to the item where the child becomes the progenitor and his children are listed under him with reference to the numbers which lead to their progenies. Where the names of the father and or mother are not known the children are listed together as "Brothers and Sisters of one family" and details of each brother and sister and reference to their progenies are given there under. You will note that an 'entry' of a family or name has two reference numbers; one at the top indicating the previous reference i.e. the ascendants the parents and then having listed the children, by the side reference you are lead to the descendants. Thus you can go forward or backward in searching family connections.

The father of Santhiapillai was a Hindu and on conversion to Catholicism he took the name of Anthonypillai. Tradition says that one day he was on an errand and on the way he was tormented by an evil spirit/devil blocking his way. He tried all his "Manthirams' and yet the spirit would not give in. As a last resort he shouted "St.Anthony O-Lord!"Anthoniyare - Andavare" and drew a sign of the cross on the ground with the umbrella in his hand - the devil vanished. Thereupon he become a Catholic. He was a rich Landed Proprietor.

வரலாற்றுப் புகழ்மிக்க காவலூர் அன்றும் இன்றும் (எஸ். எம். ஜே.)
முகவுரை
இலங்கையின் வடபுலத்தில் பண்டைய சிறப்புமிக்க துறைமுகமாக விளங்கியது ஊர்காவற் றுறையாகும். லைடன் தீவு என ஒல்லாந்தரால் அழைக்கப்பட்ட இத்தீவின் வடமேற்கில் ஊர்காவற்றுறை அமைந்துள்ளது. லைடன் தீவு வேலணைத் தீவு எனவும் அழைக்கப்படுகிறது. நல்லூர் சுவாமி ஞானப்புரகாசரின் வரலாற்றுக்குறிப்பு ஒன்று இதை தணதீவு எனச் சுட்டுகின்றது. கிறிஸ்துவுக்கு முன் ஆறாம் நூற்றாண்டிலிருந்தே ஊர்காவற்றுறை துறைமுகமாய் இருந்தது எனச் சரித்திர ஆய்வாளர் கூறுகிறார்கள். பராக்கிரமபாகு மன்னன் காலத்தில் இது துறைமுகமாயிருந்தது என வரலாறு சான்று பகருகின்றது. போத்துக்கேயர் வருவதற்குமுன் தென்இலங்கை அரசனான ஆறாம் பராக்குரமபாகு யாழ்ப்பாண அரசை வெற்றிகொண்டு ஊர்காவற்றுறைத் துறைமுகத்தில் ஆதிக்கஞ் செலுத்தியதாகக் கூறப்படுகின்றது. காலகதியில் இது ஒரு துறைமுக நகரமாக உருவெடுத்தது.
பெயர் எப்படி வந்தது
ஊர்காவற்றுறை என்ற பெயர் வரக் காரணம் என்ன என்று ஆராயின், ஊரைக் காவல் செய்கின்ற துறைமுகம் அமைந்திருந்தமையால் அவ்வாறு பெயர் வந்தது என்பர். வேறுசிலர் ஊரான் தோட்டம் என வழக்கில் இருந்த பெயர் சிங்களத்தில் "ஊறாதொட்ட" என வந்தது என்பர். பன்றிகள் ஏற்றியதுறை என்ற காரணத்தால் ஊறாதொட்ட எனப் பெயர்வந்தது என்று சொல்பவருமுளர், ஆனால் யானைகள் இத்துறைமுகத்தினூடாக ஏற்றுமதி செய்யப்பட்டது என்பதற்குச் சான்றுகள் உள. இப்பொழுது ஆங்கிலத்தில் Kayts என வழங்கப்படும் பெயர் ஆய்வுகளின்படி போர்த்துக்கேய சொல்லில் இருந்து மருவி வந்தது எனத் தெரிகிறது. போர்த்துக்கேய மொழியில் "Caes" என்றால் யாளைகள் என்பது பொருள். ஒல்லாந்தர் நாட்டில் ஓர் கரையோர இடப் பெயராக இருந்த Kayts என்ற பெயரால் இத்துறைமுகப் பட்டினம் அழைக்கப்பட்டு பின் ஆங்கிலத்தில் நிரந்தரமாக்கப்பட்டிருக்கலாம்.
பொற்காலம்
வட பகுதியில் அமைந்துள்ள ஒரு இயற்கைத் துறைமுகம் ஊர்காவற்றுறையாகும். வடகீழ், தென்மேல் பருவக் காற்றுக் காலங்கள் இரண்டிலும் பாதுகாப்பான துறையாக இது விளங்குவது விசேட அம்சமாகும். பன்னெடுங்காலமாக காவலூர் கடல் வணிகத்தில் சிறந்து விளங்கியது. தமிழ்நாட்டுடன் நெருங்கிய தொர்பிருந்தமையால் அந்நாட்டுத் துறைமுகங்கள்வரை சென்று பண்டமாற்று வணிகஞ் செய்திருக்க வாய்ப்பிருந்தது. தென்கிழக்காசிய நாடுகள் ஈறாக காவலூர் மாலுமிகள் வணிகத்தில் ஈடுபட்டிருந்தனர். பிரித்தானியர் ஆட்சிக்காலத்திலேயே ஊர்காவற்றுறைத் துறைமுகம் புகழ் பெற்றிருந்தது எனலாம். பிரித்தானியர் ஆசிய நாடுகளான பேர்மா, சயாம். றங்கூன் முதலிய நாடுகளிலிருந்து அரிசியை இறக்குமதி செய்தனர். இந்த இறக்குமதி வர்த்தகத்தில் பிரதான பங்கெடுத்துக்கொண்ட பட்டுக்கோட்டைச் செட்டிமார் ஊர்காவற்றுறை, பருத்தித்துறை, வல்வெட்டித்துறை முதலாம் துறைமுகங்களை இறக்குமதி வர்த்தகத்துக்குப் பயன்படுத்தினர். அக்காலப்பகுதியில் காவலூர் மிகுந்த செல்வாக்குப் பெற்றிருந்தது. கப்பல்கள், படகுகள், டிங்கிகள், தோணிகள் என்று துறைமுகம் மரக்கலங்களால் நிறைந்திருக்கும். பனைமர உயரமான பாய்மரங்கள் வானைமுட்டி உயர்ந்துநிற்க, பாரியகப்பல்கள் எந்நேரமுமம் நங்கூரமிட்டுச் சரக்குகளை இறக்கும் காட்சியை ஐம்பது ஆண்டுகளுக்குமுன் கண்டவர்கள் பலர் இன்னும் சீவந்தராய்இருக்கிறார்கள். படகுகளில் பணியாற்றிய மாலுமிகளில் ஒரு சிலர் இன்றும் பண்டைய நிகழ்வுகளை அசைபோட்டுப் பார்க்கிறார்கள். கறிச் சரக்குவகைகள், வெங்காயம், மிளகாய், சர்க்கரை முதல் கலிக்கட் ஓடுவரை கரை இறக்கப்பட்ட அந்தச் செழிப்பான காலம் எண்ணிப்பார்க்கப் பெருமையளிக்கின்றது. முந்நாளில் காவலூர்த் துறைமுகம் எப்பொழுதும் சுறுசுறுப்பாகவே இருக்கும். அது காவலூரின் பொற்காலம். செழிப்பான அந்த நாட்கள் என்று வருமோ?
ஏற்றுமதி. இறக்குமதித் தொழிற் செல்வாக்கினால் காவலூரிலும் கப்பல் கட்டும் தொழில், படகுத்துறைத் தொழில் என்பன விருத்தி கண்டன. பலர் வேலை வாய்ப்புப் பெற்றதோடு மாலுமிகளாகவும் விளங்கினர். காவலூரில் மாத்திரமல்ல காரம்பனூரிலும் கப்பல் உரிமையாளராகவும் சிலர் மிகுந்த உச்சநிலையில் இருந்தனர். முதலாம் இரண்டாம் யுத்தகாலப் பஞ்ச நிலைமைகள் காவலூரை அவ்வளவாகப் பாதிக்கவில்லை. காவலூர் அரிசிக் களஞ்சியமாக இருந்ததால் அரிசிக்கும் பஞ்சம் இருக்கவில்லை. அறுபதுகளுக்குப்பின்
சப்த தீவு மக்களும் சங்கமமாகும் இடம் காவலூராகவே இருந்தது. 1960ம் ஆண்டுவரை நெழுந்தீவு உட்பட அனைத்துத் தீவுமக்களும் ஊர்காவற்றுறைத் துறைமுகம் வந்துதான் காரைநகர் ஊடாக யாழ்ப்பாணஞ் சென்றனர். அதுவரை ஊர்காவற்றுறை அரசினர் வைத்தியசாலையே அனைவருக்கும் மருத்துவப் பணிக்கு

நடுநிலையமாய் இருந்தது. பொலீஸ் நிலையம், நீதிமன்றம் என்பன காவலூர் பட்டினத்திலேயே இருந்தன. இதன் காரணமாக நீதித்துறை சார்ந்த சகல தேவைகள், சட்டத்தோடு தொட்ர்புடைய குற்றவியல் விசாரணைகள், வழக்குகள் அனைத்தும் காவலூரில் இடம் பெற்றமையால் நீதிமன்றம் கூடும் நாட்களில் தீவுப்பகுதி மக்கள் இங்கு கூடுவது வழக்கம். அதனால் ஊர்காவற்றுறைச் சந்தை எப்பொழுதும் கலகலப்பாகவே காணப்படும். 1950ம் ஆண்டுவரை காவலூர் சுங்கப்பகுதி கொழும்புக்கு அடுத்தாற்போல் வருமானத்தில் இரண்டாம் இடத்தைப் பெற்றிருந்தது. சுங்கப்பகுதியில் காவலூர் மக்கள் வேலை வாய்ப்பைப் பெற்றனர். கால்நடைகள் இறக்குமதி செய்யப்பட்டு கமக்காரர்களுக்கு விநியோகம் செய்யப்பட்டது. இந்தியாவிலிருந்து நல்லினக் காளை மாடுகளும், ஆடுகளும் பெருமளவில் வந்திறங்கிக் காவலூரின் மேற்கில் உள்ள மாட்டுக்காலை எனப்படும் தடைமுகாமில் தடுத்து வைக்கப்பட்டு நோய்த்தடுப்புச் செய்யப்பட்ட பின்னரே விற்பனை செய்யப்பட்டன. மிருகங்களுக்கு மாத்திரமல்ல, மனிதருக்கும் அம்மைநோய்த் தடுப்பு மகாமும் மாட்டுக்காலையை அண்மித்த ஊர்காவற்றுறை மேற்குப் பிரதேசத்தில் அமைந்திருந்தது. சுகாதார வைத்தியப் பகுதியினர் இத்தடுப்பு நிலையத்தைப் பராமரித்து வந்தனர்.
ஆய்வுக்குட்பட்ட ஆதிக் குடியேற்றம்
கிராம சுேவகர் பணிகளை இலகுவாக்கத் அணமையில் மேற்கொள்ளப்பட்ட பரவலாக்கற் பிரிவுகளின்படி கரம்பொன் வடக்குப் பிரிவு ஊர்காவற்றுறை மேற்கை அடுத்த பகுதியாகும். மாட்டுக்காலையை அண்மித்த கரம்பொன் வடக்குப்பகுதியே ஆதிக் குடியேற்றப் பகுதியாகக் கருதப்படுகின்றது. ஊருண்டி என முன்னர் அழைக்கப்பட்ட இப்பகுதியே முதன் முதலில் மக்கள் செறிந்து வாழ்ந்த பகுதி என்பது ஆய்வாளர் கருத்தாக இருக்கின்றது. போர்த்துக்கேயர் இப் பகுதியில் ஒரு கோட்டையைக்கட்டினார்கள் என்றும் தெரிய வருகிறது. அந்தக் கோட்டை சிதைந்த நிலையில் இன்றும் பழங்கோட்டை என அழக்கப்பட்டு வருகின்றது. சில ஆண்டுகளுக்கு முன் இக்கோட்டைப்பகுதியில் யாழ் திருமறைக் கலாமன்றத்தினர் திருப்பாடுகளின் காட்சியை (இயேசு சிலுவையில் மரித்த காட்சியை) வீடியோப் படமாக்கியது குறிப்பிடற்பாலது. கல்வாரி மலையை இது ஒத்திருந்தமை காட்சிப்புலமாக்க உதவியது.
கரையில் உள்ள போர்த்துக்கேயரின் பழங்கோட்டையைவிட வரலாற்று முக்கியத்துவம் வாய்ந்த இன்னுமோர் வரலாற்று மீதி ஊர்காவற்றுறைக்குப் பெருமைதருகின்றது. காவலூருக்கும் காரைநகர் கடற்படைத்தளத்துக்குமிடையில் அமைந்துள்ள கடற்கோட்டை இலங்கையில் காணக்கூடிய மிக அபூர்வமான வரலாற்று மூலமாகும். ஒல்லாந்தரால் அமைக்கப்பட்ட இக் கடற்கோட்டை"ஹமன்ஹீல்" என அழைக்கப்படுகின்றது. 1990ம் ஆண்டுக்குப் பின் இது கடற்படையின் கட்டுப்பாட்டில் உள்ளது.
காவலூரின் குடிப்பரம்பல் எப்போது ஏற்பட்டது என்பது அறிய முடியவில்லை. தென்இந்தியாவில், மணற்பாடு, தூத்துக்குடி, இராமேஸ்வரம், பாம்பன், திருநெல்வேலி முதலிய இடங்களிலிருந்து தீவுப் பகுதியில் மக்கள் குடியேறியிருக்கலாம். இந்தியப் படையெழுச்சியின்போது போர்வீரராகவும், படைகளுக்குத் 'துணையாகவும் வந்தவர்கள் இங்கு குடியமர்ந்திருக்கலாம். வியாபார நோக்கத்தோடு வந்தவர்களிற் சிலர் இங்கு தங்கி அவர்களின் சந்ததி பெருகியும் இருக்கலாம். ஒரு பகுதியினர் மன்னார் மாந்தைப்பகுதியி இருந்து வந்து குடியேறினர் என்பதற்கும் ஆதாரங்கள் உண்டு. ஊர்காவற்றுறை கிழக்கு, ஊர்காவற்றுறை மேற்கு முதலிய இடங்களில் வாழும் வகுப்பினருக்கு மன்னார்த் தொடர்புகள் இருப்பதாகத்தெரிகிறது. மற்றைய தீவுகளின் மக்களும் இங்கு வந்து குடியேறி இனப்பெருக்கம் ஏற்பட்டிருக்கலாம். எது எவ்வாறாயினும் 1990 வரை பல சமூகத்தவரையும் சேர்ந்த பன்னீராயிரம் மக்கள் ஊர்காவற்றுறைப் பட்டின எல்லைக்குள் வாழ்ந்தனர் எனத் தெரிகிறது. கத்தோலிக்கரைப் பெரும்பான்மையாகக் கொண்ட இச்சனத்தொகை முக்கிய நான்கு சமூகத்தினரை அடக்கியுள்ளது என்பதற்கு இங்குள்ள நான்கு ஆலயங்கள் சான்று பகருகின்றன.
ஆயிரத்துத் தொளாயிரத்துத் தொண்ணுறின் அவலங்கள்
ஊர்காவற்றுறை 1947ம் ஆண்டில் பட்டின தபை அந்தஸ்தைப் பெற்றது. ஐந்து வட்டாரப் பிரிவுகளை அடக்கிய பட்டின பரிபாலனம் அமைக்கப்பட்டது. பல வழிகளில் துரிதமாக முன்னேறி வளர்ந்துகொண்டிருந்த காவலூர் எவருமே எதிர்பாராது 1990ம் ஆண்டு ஆவணி 22ல் மேற்கொள்ளப்பட்ட இராணுவ நடவடிக்கையால் உலகப்போரில் அகப்பட்ட ஜேர்மனிய நாட்டைப் போலவும், அணுக்குண்டு வீசப்பட்ட நாகசாக்கி போலும் சிதைந்து அழிந்த நிலையில் இன்று காட்சி தருகின்றது. வனப்பிழந்து, வடிவிழந்து குஷ்டரோகி போலவும் காட்சிதருகின்றது. குண்டு வீச்சு, ஷெல் வீச்சுக்களாலும், கடற்படைப் பீரங்கி வேட்டுக்களாலும் சிதைந்த கட்டடங்கள், புள்டோசர் போட்டு மிதித்துத் தரைமட்டமாக்கப்பட்ட வீடுகள் அரச அலுவலகங்கள் வீடுகளின் சுற்றுமதில்கள் தகர்க்கப்பட்டு பல வீதிகள் அடையாளங் காண முடியாதபடி காட்சிதருகின்றன.
1984க்குப் பின் நீதி மன்றம், பழைய பொலிஸ் நிலையம், புதிய பொலிஸ் நிலையம், வாடி வீடு
என்பன எதிரிகள் வசமாகாதவாறு தீவிரவாத சக்திகளால் தகர்க்கப்பட்டன. ஆனால் 1990 புரட்டாதியில் காவலூர்ப் புதிய தபாலகம் உட்பட பல அரச நிறுவனங்கள், சந்தைக் கட்டடங்கள், மக்கள் குடியிருப்பு
96

Page 58
மனைகள் என்பன படையினரால் தகர்க்கப்பட்டு தரைமட்டமாக்கப்பட்டன. இறங்குதுறை மண்டபம் தகர்ந்து துறைமுகப்பாலம் சிதைந்து இதுதான் புகழ்மிக்க காவலூர்த் துறைமுகமோ என்று எண்ணத் தோன்றும்படி காட்சிதருகின்றது. வீடுகள் பல சுவர்களோடும் கூரைகளோடும் நின்றாலும் கதவுகளும் யன்னல்களுமில்லாது பாழடைந்த வீடுகளாய் தோற்றமளிக்கின்றன. ஆயிரக்கணக்கான வீடுகளிலிருந்த விலைமதிப்பற்ற தளபாடங்களும் பெறுமதிமிக்க பொருட்களும் எங்குபோய் மறைந்தனவோ? அவற்றின் பெறுமதி கணிப்பின் பல கோடி ரூபா மதிப்பிடலாம். சொத்துக்கள் வீடுகளுக்கு நஷ்டஈடு வழங்குவதானால் பில்லியன் கணக்கில் வரும். அமைதியில் வாழ்ந்த காவலூரும் கரம்பொனூரும் முந்திய இராணுவ நடவடிக்கைகளுக்குத் தப்பியிருந்த போதிலும் 1990ம் ஆண்டு புரட்டாதி இருபத்தெட்டில் வரலாறு காணாத பேரழிவை எதிர்கொண்டு மக்கள் சொந்த மண்ணை விட்டு நிலைகுலைந்து நிர்க்கதியாய் அகதிகளாய் இடம்பெயர்ந்தனர். நாரந்தனை, சுருவில், சின்னமடு, சாட்டி முதலிய இடங்களில் அகதிகளாய் அடைக்கலம் புகுந்து சொத்துக்களை இழந்தாலும் சுகத்தை இழந்தாலும் உயிரையாவது காப்பாற்றிக் கொண்டால் என்றோ ஒருநாள் தாயகம் வரலாம் என்று தவித்து நின்றனர். ஆனால் அடைக்கலம் நாடிப் புலம்பெயர்ந்த இடங்களிற்கூட ஆறு மாதங்கள் நிம்மதிப் பெருமூச்சு விட்டிருக்க காலம் இடந்தரவில்லை.
மக்களைத் துரத்திய 1991
1991ம் ஆண்டு சித்திரை மாதத்தில் காவலூரிலும் கரம்பொனிலும் இருந்து புலம்பெயர்ந்தவருடன் அடைக்கலம் தந்தவர்களும் சேர்ந்து லைடன் தீவைவிட்டே வெளியேறிக் குடாநாட்டை நோக்கி இடம்பெயர்ந்த அவலங்களைப்பெரிய புத்தகமாய் எழுதலாம். லைடன் தீவு, புங்குடுதீவு, மண்டைதீவு மக்கள் 75,000 பேர் குடாநாட்டை நோக்கிப் படையெடுத்தனர். எகிப்தில்இருந்து இஸ்றாயேல் மக்கள்இரவோடு இரவாகப் புலம்பெயர்ந்தபோது நிகழ்ந்த ஆறாத்துயரங்கள் தீவகமக்களையும் வாட்டி வருத்தியது. காவலூர், கரம்பொன் மக்களும் இதில் அடங்குவர். கத்தோலிக்க மறைத் தொண்டர்களும், குருமாரும், மனித முன்னேற்ற நடுநிலையமும், பங்குத்தந்தையர்களும், அரசசார்பற்ற தாபனங்களும் அந்தக் காலகட்டத்தில் ஆற்றிய மனிதநேயப் பணிகளால் லைடன் தீவு மக்கள் தம் உயிரையாவது காப்பாற்ற முடிந்தது என்றால் மிகையில்லை. ஷெல் வீச்சு, விமானக்குண்டுவீச்சு, துப்பாக்கிச் சூடுகளால் பலர் உயிரிழந்தனர். சிலர் அங்கவீனமாகினர். பல குடும்பங்கள் அவ்வாறான சோக அனுபவங்களைச் சுமந்து துன்பக்கடலிலல் தந்தளித்து மீள முடியாத இழப்புக்களை எதிர்கொண்டு வாழுகிறார்கள்.
குடாநாட்டில் குடிபெயர்ந்தவர்களின் கவலை மறப்பதற்கிடையில் மீண்டும் 1995ல் வன்னிப் பகுதிக்குப் புலம்பெயரும் அவலம் அவர்களைத் தொடர்ந்தது. வன்னியிலிருந்தும் சில மாதங்களில் புலம் பெயரவேண்டிய சூழ்நிலையினால் அங்கு சென்று புகலிடம் தேடிய தீவக மக்களும் குறிப்பாக காவலூர், கரம்பொன் மக்களும் மேலும் நிலைகுலைந்துள்ளனர்.
1990 ஆவணி 22 இல் யாழ்ப்பாணக் கோட்டையைப் பிடிக்கவெனக் காவலூரில் வந்திறங்கி, மண்டைதீவு சென்ற அரசபடைகள், கோட்டையைக் கோட்டைவிட்டு 1990 புரட்டாதி 28இல் திரும்பிவந்து நாட்டைப் பிடித்த கதையில் நலிவுற்றது லைடன் தீவும், மண்டை தீவுமாகும். அதிலும் காவலூரும் கரம்பொனுமே அழிவுகளைப்பெருமளவு எதிர்கொண்டு வரலாறு காணாத அனர்த்தங்களுக்கு முகங்கொடுத்துப் பண்டைய பெருமைகள் அனைத்தையும் இழந்து நிர்க்கதி நிலையில்உள்ள வரலாற்று நிகழ்வு வரலாறாக இருக்கும் வண்ணம் இதை எழுதுகின்றோம். தீவக மக்களின் துர்ப்பாக்கிய நிலைமைகளின் ஒரு துளிதான் இது. விரிக்கின் மிகும் என்பதால் சுருக்கித் தந்தோம்.
நல்லதொரு எதிர்காலம் வருமா?
மீண்டும் நம் தாயகம் திரும்புவோமா? சொந்த மண்ணில்அமைதிபெற முடியுமா? எமது அவலங்கள் இன்னல்கள் எப்போது நீங்கும்? விடிவுகாலம் வருமா? 1997ல் மெல்லமெல்ல ஒரு சிலர் காவலூருக்கும் அயற்கிராமங்களுக்கும் சென்று மீளக்குடியேறத் தொடங்கியிருப்பதாக அறிய முடிகிறது. காவலூர் புனித அந்தோனியார் கல்லூரி, புனித மரியாள் மகளிர் பாடசாலை, கரம்பொன் சண்முகநாதன் மகாவித்தியாலயம், சிறியபுஷ்பம் மகளிர் மகாவித்தியாலயம் என்பன இயங்கத் தொடங்கியுள்ளன. புனர்நிர்மாணப்பணிகளும் முடுக்கிவிடப்பட்டிருப்பதாக அறிந்தோம். ஆனால் மீண்டும் 2000 மாம் ஆண்டில் பதட்ட நிலை ஆரம்பமாகி படைகளின் ஆதிக்கம'பலம்பெற்று யாவும்மந்த நிலை அடைந்துள்ளன. V
யாழ்குடாநாட்டில் வாழும் காவலூர்மக்களும் கரம்பொனூர் மக்களும் இதே ஏக்கங்களுக்கு முகங் கொடுத்து மனமடிவுடனும் அச்ச உணர்வுகளுடனும் நிம்மதி இழந்தவர்களாகவே வாழ்ந்து கொண்டிருக்கிறார்கள். வெளிநாட்டு வேலைவாய்ப்புப் பெற்ற ஒரு சிலரது குடும்பங்களும், வசதிவாய்ப்புள்ள சிலரும் கொழும்பிலும் பிற இடங்களிலும் வாழுகிறார்கள். அவர்கள்கூட நிம்மதியாய், மனநிறைவாய் வாழுகிறார்கள் என்றுகூறிவிட முடியாது.

UYETHIAR FAMILY

and they belonged to the Parish of St. Mary's Kayts. The earliest
source available is that Vaithiampillai (Bastiampillai) married
Usthina. The tradition goes to say that Vaithiampillai as a young boy got drowned in a flood and had been mostly given him up for dead. Some had adamantly continued the revival exercises, including warming the body by fire and he ultimately breathed. Hence he was nicknamed Uyithier - one resurected or come to life. His full name is ascertained as Thaveethupillai Vaithiampillai. His decendents are known as Uyithier mahen, Mahal or “Uyithier Pillai - Kutty.” The six children of Vaithiampillai (Uyiethier) and Usthina are: (l) Saverimuthu married Annammah, (2) Victoria Muthu married Phillippupillai, (3) Sellachchi married Mariampillai Rasiah, (4) Manuelpillai married Anahimuthu, (5) Thangammah married Anthonypillai, (6) Mariampillai married Anasia.

MOOPAR FAMILIES Moopar family of Karampon St. Sebastian's Church, Moopar family of St. Mary's Church Kayts, Moopar of Suruvil
1Sangudutham / Sacristian/Upadesi of Karampon and Kyts.
550 In the old days there were two personalities who ranked after the Parish Priest who were charged with the administration and preparation for the conduct of the services in the Church. It was a time there were no Parish Priests attached to each Church as is the Vogue today. Hence the Personalities of Moopar and Sangudutham or sacristian or Upadesi looked after the Church and Services.
As the name implies Mooper is the Elder/Chief/Head of the Administration of the Church and Parish. He is normally a competant and commanding person in the Parish who would be the "Parish Council" having Sounded opinions or take upon himself the general direction of the village Parish. Sangudutham/Sacristian/Upadesi is the person in charge of the preparation for the various liturgical services conducted in the Church and he leads the people in Prayers. He supervises the Alter Servers, teaches prayers to the Youth and people, helps the Priest conduct services, recites prayers and makes announcements and sees to the dector of the Church, the bell ringer, etc. etc. Hence both personalities command respect and popularity among the Parish community and the village.
In the present day the Office of Mooper is extinct and is replaced by "Parish Council" comprising five to ten members presided by the

ஊர்காவற்றுறை புனித மரியாள் ஆலயத்தின் ஆதரவற்ற கோலம் 1995

Page 92
கரம்பொனூர் மக்கள் சென்று வழிபடும் காவலூர் ஆலயங்கள்
தெய்வபக்தியில் சிறந்துவிளங்கும் கரம்பொனூர் மக்கள் பெரிதும் போற்றிப் பெருமை பாராட்டி வடிபாடுகளைச் செய்துவருவது தாங்கள் உயிராய்மதிக்கும் புனித செபஸ்தியார் ஆலயமேயாகும், பங்குத்தளத்தில் கட்டிக்காத்து உரிமை பாராட்டும் ஆலயம் அது.
புனித செபஸ்தியாரில் பேரன்புடைய கரம்பொன் மக்கள், ஊர்காவற்றுறை, நாரந்தனை, சின்னமடு சுருவில், சாட்டி முதலாம் இடங்களில் அமைந்துள்ள ஆலயங்களுக்குஞ் சென்று வழிபாடு செய்வது வழக்கம். 1938ம் ஆண்டு கரம்பொன் தனியான பங்குத்தளம் ஆகியது. அதற்கு முற்பட்ட காலங்களில் காவலூர்ப்பங்கின் ஓரங்கமாகவே கரம்பொன் விளங்கியது. அதன் காரணமாக காவலூரில் அமைந்துள்ள ஆலயங்களுக்குச் செல்லவேண்டிய தேவையும்இருந்தது. ஞானஸ்நானம், திருமணப்பதிவு போன்ற பதிவுகள் 1938 வரை காவலூரில் தான் இடம்பெற்றன. பதிவு பற்றிய ஆவணங்கள் காவலூர் புனித அந்தோனியார் ஆலயத்தில் தான் இருந்தன. அதுதவிர ஊர்காவற்றுறைக்கு பல அலுவல்கள் காரணமாகச் செல்ல வேண்டிய தேவை ஏற்படும்போதெல்லாம் கரம்பொன் மக்கள் காவலூர் புனித அந்தோனியார் ஆலயத்துக்கும், புனித மரியாள் ஆலயத்துக்கும் செல்லுவது வழக்கம். புனித அந்தோனியாரின் பக்தர்களான கரம் பொனூர் மக்கள் செவ்வாய்க்கிழமைகளில் தவறாது புனித அந்தோனியார் ஆலயத்துக்குச் சென்று வருவது அவர்கள் வழக்கமாகிவிட்டது. ஆனி மாதத்தில் புனித அந்தோனியார் திருநாளில் கரம்பொன் மக்கள் கலந்துகொள்ளத் தவறுவதில்லை. அந்தோனியார் கல்லூரி ஆலயத்துக்கு அருகில் இருந்ததனாலும் கல்லூரிக்கு அலுவலாகச் செல்லும் கரம்பொன் மக்கள் அவ் ஆலயத்தையும் தரிசித்து வருவர். மாதா பக்தர்களான கரம்பொனூர் மக்கள் காவலூர் புனித மரியாள் ஆலயத்துக்கும் சென்று தேவதாயாரை வழிபடுவார்கள். ஊர்காவற்றுறைச் சந்தைக்குப் பொருட்களைக் கொள்வனவு செய்யவும், பொலீஸ்நிலையம், நீதிமன்ற அலுவல்கள் நிமித்தம் காவலூர் வரும் மக்கள் தேவதாயின் ஆலயத்தையும தரிசித்துச் செல்லுவர். ஆவணி மாதம் பதினைந்தாம் தேதி புனித மரியாள் ஆலய விழாவிற் பெருமளவிலான கரம் பொன் கிறிஸ்தவர்கள் கலந்துகொள்ளுவார்கள்: சனிக்கிழமைகளில் தேவதாயாரின் ஆலயத்துக்கு வருகை தருவதற்கும் சிலர் தவறுவதில்லை.
1995ம் ஆணிடு புனித மரியாள் ஆலயத்தின் நூற்றாண டுவிழா அங்கு கொண்டாடப்படவில்லை. நாட்டின் போர்க்கால நிலைபரங்களால் 1990 ல் மக்கள் காவலூரைவிட்டும் பின் 1991ல் லைடன் தீவிலிருந்தும் குடாநாட்டுக்கு இடம்பெயர்ந்த துர்ப்பாக்கிய நிலையில் அந்தநூற்றாண்டு விழா கொழும்பில் கொண்டாடப்பட்டது நினைவுகூரத்தக்கது.
கரம்பொன் மக்கள் காவலூரில் அமைந்துள்ள புனித சூசையப்பர் ஆலயத்துக்கும் செல்லுவதுண்டு. அவ் ஆலயவிழாவை கரம்பொன் மக்களும் சிறப்பிக்க வருகை தருவார்கள். வைகாசி முதல் தேதியில் கொண்டாடப்படும் தொழிலாளர் தினத்தில் கரம்பொன் மக்கள் பெருமளவில் கலந்து கொள்வதை அவதானிக்கலாம். அந்த ஆலயத்தின் 75வது ஆண்டு நிறைவு விழாவும் காவலூரில் கொண்டாடப்படவில்லை. முன் குறிப்பிட்ட நாட்டு நிலைமை காரணமாக கனடாவில் வாழும் அவ் ஆலய மக்களால்அங்கு கொண்டாடப்பட்டது. கரம்பொன் மக்களுக்கும் நாரந்தனை வாழ் மக்களுக்கும் இடையில் குடும்ப உறவுகள் உண்டு. அதன் காரணமாக அங்குள்ள சம்பேதுரு சம்பாவிலு ஆலய விழாக்களிலும் மற்றும் முற்காலத்தில் இடம் பெற்ற "பாசு" எனப்படும் திருப்பாடுகளின் காட்சி நடைபெறும் காலங்களிலும் அங்கு செல்லுவார்கள். நாரந்தனையில் உள்ள மிகப்பழைய ஆலயம். வரலாற்றுப் பழமைமிக்க ஆலயம் ஆகும்.
சரவணையில் அமைந்துள்ள சின்னமடுமாதா ஆலயம் யாழ் குடாநாட்டில் உள்ள ஒரு யாத்திரைத் தலமாகும். மாதத்தின் முதற் சனிக்கிழமைகளில் கரம் பொன் மக்களிற் சிலர் சின்னமடுவுக்கு போய்வருவார்கள். ஆவணி மாதம் 5ம் திகதி சின்னமடுமாதா திருநாள்
165

கொண்டாடப்படும். அக்காலத்தில் கரம்பொனூர் மக்கள் வண்டில்கட்டிக் கொண்டு குடும்பமாக அத்திருத்தலத்துக்குப் போவது வழக்கமாக இருந்தது. இன்றும் பெருமளவு கரம்பொன்மக்கள் அத்திருத்தலத்தில் மிகுந்த பற்றுள்ளவர்களாகவே இருக்கின்றனர். 1994ம் ஆண்டு சின்ன மடுமாதாவின் நூற்றாண்டு விழா அங்கு கொண்டாடப்படவில்லை. மக்கள் இடம்பெயர்வும் நாட்டின் துர்ப்பாக்கிய நிலைமை காரணமாக அவ்விழா கொழும்பு கொட்டாஞ்சேனை புனித லூசியா பேராலயத்தில் கொண்டாடப்பட்டதை பலர் மறந்திருக்கமாட்டார்கள்.
கரம்பொனூர் மக்கள் சிரத்தையுடன் கொண்டாடும் மற்றுமோர் ஆலயம் சாட்டி சிந்தாத்திரை மாதா ஆலயமாகும். கரம்பொனூரைச் சேர்ந்த பஸ்ரியன் என்பவர் ஆலய முகப்பைக் கட்டிக் கொடுத்து ஊரின் பெருமையை உயர்த்தியுள்ளார். முற்காலத்தில் புரட்டாசி மாதம் 24ந் தேதி சாட்டிமாதா திருநாளுக்கு கரம்பொன் மக்கள் வண்டில்கட்டிச்சென்று தங்கிநின்று விழா கொண்டாடி அன்றய விருந்தில் முக்கிய பங்குகொள்வது வழக்கமாகியிருந்தது. 150ஆண்டு பழமை மிக்க இத்திருத்தலம் குடாநாட்டு மீனவர் சமூகத்தினரால் மிகவும் அன்புசெய்யப்படுவது குறிப்பிடத்தக்கது.
1957ம் ஆண்டில் சுருவில் வீதியில் தணுவில் என்னுமிடத்தில் புனித அன்னம்மாள் ஆலயம் உருவாகியது. சுருவிரைச் சேர்ந்த PS. சின்னத்துரை என்பவரது அயராத முயற்சியினாலும், கரம்பொன், சுருவில் மக்களின் ஒத்துழைப்போடும் அன்றைய பங்குத் தந்தையாகவிருந்த வண. M.S. நல்லையா அடிகளாரின் பேராதரவோடும் அவரது சொந்தக் காணியில் இவ் ஆலயம் உதயமாகியது. அவ்வாண்டு முதல் ஆடி மாதம் 28ந் தேதி இங்கு புனித அன்னம்மாள் திருநாள் விமரிசையாக கொண்டாடப்பட்டது. கருவில் கரம்பொன், நாரந்தனை, ஊர்காவற்றுறை, முதலாம் இடங்களில் இருந்து மக்கள் பெருமளவில் இத்திருத்தலத்துக்கு வருகை தருவர். கரம்பொன் பங்குத்தந்தையின் பரிபாலனத்தில் இவ் ஆலயம் இருந்ததால், கரம்பொன் பங்கு மக்கள் அதிக ஈடுபாடு கொண்டிருந்தனர்.
1970க்குப் பின் கரம்பொனில் வேளாங்கண்ணி மாதாவின் திருத்தலம் பிரபலமடையத் தொடங்கியது. 1980ம் ஆண்டு முதல் அவ் ஆலய விழா வைகாசி மாதத்தில் மிகச் சிறப்பாக கொண்டாடப்பட்டுவந்தது. அதுவும் நாட்டு நிகழ்வுகளால் தளர்ந்துவிட்டிருப்பது கவலை தருவதாகும். கரம்பொன் சங்குத் தந்தையின் நிருவாகத்தில் இவ் ஆலயம் இருந்ததால் பங்குமக்கள் மிகுந்த அக்கறைகாட்டி அதை வளர்த்தெடுத்தனர் எனலாம்.
சுருவிலில் அமைந்துள்ள அன்னைமரி மாதா ஆலயமும் பிரபலமானது. கரம்பொனூர் மக்களுக்கு சுருவிலுடன் மிக நெருங்கிய குடும்ப உறவுகள் இருந்தமையால் அங்கும் சென்று வழிபாடு செய்வது கரம்பொனூர் மக்களின் வழக்கமாகும். வருடாவருடம் ஆனி மாதத்தில் நடைபெறும் கருவில் விருந்து சிறப்பான நிகழ்வாகும். கரம்பொன் மக்களும் அந்தவிருந்துக்கு பணமும் பொருளும் உபயம் செய்வதோடு விருந்திலும் தவறாது சமூகமளிப்பர். புரட்டாசி மாதம் எட்டாந் திகதி இங்கு ஆலய விழா நடைபெறும். அவ்விழாவிலும் கரம்பொன் மக்கள் உற்சாகத்துடன் கலந்து சிறப்பித்து வந்தனர்.
1991ம் ஆண்டிலிருந்து முன்குறிப்பிட்ட ஆலயங்கள் மக்கள்இடம் பெயர்வுகளால் கைவிடப்பட்ட நிலையில் தேடுவார் அற்று பாதுகாப்பற்ற நிலையிலும், சேதமுற்று சிதைந்தும் இருந்தன. 1996ம் ஆண்டிலிருந்து இவை புனரமைக்கப்பட்டு பங்குத் தந்தையர் இருவரின் பராமரிப்பில் வழிபாடுகள் ஆலய விழாக்கள் என்பன சிறப்பாகவும் கிரமமாகவும் நடைபெற்று வருவதாக அறிகின்றோம். மக்கள் வாழ்வில் அபயமளிக்கும் இவ் ஆலயங்கள் அவர்களது ஆன்மீகத் தேடல்களுக்கு இன்றியமையாதனவாகும். கரம்பொனூர் மக்களின் ஆன்மீக வாழ்வுக்கு துணையாகநின்ற இவ் ஆலயங்கள் என்றும் நினைவுகூரத்தக்கவை. அவர்களது விசுவாச உறுதிப்பாட்டுக்கு அவைதான் பக்கபலமாகத் திகழ்ந்தன.

CHAPTER 7 (ADDENDUM)
TRACINGS OF TAMILHISTORY
Tamils are an ancientpeople. Their language Tamil is one of the oldest and is mother of several other languages. I have included herein some essays on the subject, with the kind permission of the respective Authors, which I believe would enhance our knowledge and wisdom on the Common Heritage of the Humanity of the Tamils
ESSAY
SRI LANKA WAS CIVILISED EVEN BEFORE VILLAYA'S ARRIVAL
Reproduced below is Professor C. Suriyakumaran's presentation titled "Historical Survey of Pluralism and Govenance in Sri Lanka" delivered at the Second History Conference held at the University of Peradeniya (1999).
A AN INRODUCTION:
At my age, and in my place, I must cast myself as a, historical phenomenon rather than, by any means, a historian. My own, slender, claims to the latter ceased long years ago, when I did so well in the Subject at the Intermediate Arts examination - as the first Undergraduate year was then known - that the professor of History had to vie with his colleagues in charge of English, Classics and Economics, to have me follow the History Honours Course in preference to others. As it turned out, I opted for Economics, as some affirmed perhaps shrewdly, purely for my economic future. Though not totally right then, yet how true it was later, for came out not only well in my Final examinations, but eventually forged both a career and a name, because of this, ascribed, mercenary move.
Yet seriously, thanks to that, two consequences followed. To mention the second first, it was that when recently it was considered fit to award me the World Environment Prize called "The United Nations-Sasakawa Award", widely considered equivalent to a Nobel Prize in that Subject, it was also, according to its Citation, very much for my unique contributions in establishing methodological relations between Economics and Environment for Environmental Resources Management in Development.
82

Page 101
But the first consequence of my pasing out in Economics that I referred to, was almost immediately after my Graduation, having become the first (Ceylonese) External student of the Unversity of London to win a Second Upper in the Subject, to become part of S.W.R.D.Bandaranaike's Misistry of Local Government and Housing, under the urgings of his Commissioner and later Permanent Secretary E.W. Kannangara. I thus went straight from University into that Ministry and my internal country career thence became determined. I never looked back, and soon developed an intense and deep interest, first in Local Government, its philosophy, history, purpose and future; and second, in the wider perspectives and roles of Governance at large, particularly in the dynamic contexts that were being conceived by S.W. R.D. Bandaranaike at the time.
This was the mid-1940s, a time when we did not have the so-called ethnic problem or crisis, as now labelled and known, and the views and thinking for the Future were if I may say so, virginal and untainted in their nature. A prime purpose of my draught straight from University into that Ministry at the time was of course on the questionable premise that I was one with promise myself. I was to be among the select officers, all older and already in professions, who would help forge the details of a radical Regional Council System ot replace the Kachcheries, and carry through their installation and implementaion in the country at large.
These ideas and proposals of Bandaranaike were, I would say, on very logical, historic-contemporary-an-futuristic premises. These were that the Country had had a heritage of Local and Regional Government, that it had lost much of these during the colonial periods, and that the time was now for reinstating these Structures, adapted to modern needs, at the two levels of Local and Regional Government, country-wide.
Now in saying all these, with this slightly 'cinematic' introduction to my own relevance, I do confess that I may have seemed to stray from the Title. But I also wish to think that herein lies, what I hope to show would be certain bases for a proper view of the History of our Governance and Pluralism.
In what follows, I shall attempt an overview of these. I do not consider myself entirely equipped to go into the multiple historic and detailed nuances of the Past that we have inherited. Certainly, with my professional interest as I have just stated, I had opportunity to be in no doubt as to the contours and essential contents of what I shall be presenting to you.
83

B- THE ANCIENT SOCIETY
l, Hallmark Sometime recently, I had been requested to Chaira high level, representative Meeting to launch a Book written by select authors, entitled, "The Thrid Wave of Governance and Public Administration in Sri Lanka".
While the Third Wave in the Title referred to the coming Millennium, the first Wave reference was to what was called the Pre-Colonial Phase, considered a definitive ancient inheritance of Sri Lanka in Governance and Administration.
In my introduciton, I chose to emphasise that the hallmark of that Ancient Past was its bedrock of what we today call, and for some years have called, "Local government', and were the "Panchayat' of India and 'Gang-sabahawa' (in Tamil Kirama-Sangam') of ancient Lanka. These were the basic building blocks of our most ancient heritages in Governance and Administration. I went further to emphasise that, in History, as much as anywhere across the World, the only Organic Unit in a Body Politic had been, and remained, the Village. No other formation had been, or is. Organic, in the sense of being nurtured ............... by itself and without artificial intervention', from above or outside, whether in governance or administration.
All other identities as we know today- the Divisions, Districts, Provinces, Regions - are 'created identities'-certainly of great value and potential, but only as good as we make them to be and, therefore, as bad as we often
perversely condemn them to be.
Amidst all these, the Village Unit-like the individual, the family unit and the community within it - continued unassailed, and as history had shown, unassailable. While references to this Village antiquity and viability have been many and varied in and across the countries, a well touted quotation has of course been Metcalfe, of the remarkable resilience, stability, identiy and continuity of India, through her millennia of turbulances, invasions, StreSSes and upsurges, attributing that unequivocally to the eternal inviolability of her Villages and Panchayats.
2- Ravanya
Our most ancient Society, so far as the mix of history and story (like Ithihasas, the heroic epics of the Sanskrit Literatures) can reveal, begins
with Ravana and Rama.
184

Page 102
This indeed is 'the first history' of our antiquity, of Ancient Lanka. Not much of course is revealed of the nature of Government. Territorially speaking, while the Villages continued superme at their own microcosmic level of life, references such as to Tribes, Chieftains and Princelings, gave Sufficient credence to a view of a decentralised structure of governance, with a Supreme overlord, the King. His degree of control over the country through these layers was of course never clear. Nor was it clear to what extent this command over their allegiance was by knowledge of his strength, or acceptance of his rapport.
Rama's own Success (hyperbolized of course by presenting him as "pure' and Ravana as 'impure") in wining the alleginance of some, if not all, of the Tribes on his way to Ravana's capital city in final battle. The victory and peaceful departure of Rama with no ostensible unique substitute for Ravana, notwithstanding the Supposed nomination of their ruler by Rama, however, left Lanka whole and entire. If one may use modern terminology of the basic village area and its larger tiers above, were obviously the logical structures under which Lanka must have continued, until the next phase, that came to be marked by the arrival of Vijaya as recorded history now began to recall. ...
3- Naga Yet before this, as we know from the relation of the story of Vijaya itself, Lanka had several tribes, two of their main segments known as the "Nagas' and the "Yakkas'. It has been extremely difficult to sift imagination and legend from realities on both these, more particularly it seems on the latter. There has been a fashion, both seriously and popularly, to brand the Yakkas as if they were some uncivilized lot, aboriginal in some way, the 'Adivasis' of Indian history. Popularly, of course they have been classified simply as "Devils-born-as-Humans', which naturally must have been considered as equivalent to Summary dismissal of these people! It would seem that the Yakkas were indeed organised among themselves, but had little active intercourse with others in the country in particular the "Nagas'. Both, however, seem certainly to have been widely distributed across all parts of the country.
Another circumstance of the pre-Vijaya Community structure was what may be described associo-economic, which obviously had to have a bearing on Governance as then known, and evolved. This was, clearly, that both the Yakkas and the Nagas had strong economic vocations, which gave Substace and Succour not only to their livelihood, but to their habitats and
locations.
185

In the case of the Yakkas, a clue perhaps -and I offer this to the researchers for further study - is that the word "Yakka' is a root Dravida term, "Iyatkayar, meaning those who were, or lived, close to nature, and followed the vocations suggested by their natural surroundings. The Yakkas apparently were marked by being woodsmen and huntsmen and that being so, had social and structural organisations for their governanace and administration to Suit their economic purposes. Perhaps they were also slightly less rooted as a population in one spot; perhaps they were not, it is not certain. Yet the identity was as a Tribe, and apparently the identity with their forests or their type of villages as some of their cultural identities - such as perhaps fire-based rituals and dances - touted as legend, have at least an internal consistency, binding the Society, its culture, economics, governance and administration. Chieftains, Sub-Leaders and Community groups (and their Families) would have been their logical Political organisation.
When it came to the Nagas, it was ostensibly quite different. Whether the Giant's Tank has an antiquity from that time or not, as boldly asserted in some quarters-there is of course no reason why it need not be so . The recorded history of the arrival of Vijaya at the house of Kuveni, the Queen of the Nagas, makes most interesting reading.
Even though the Mahavamsa began to be wrirten only some seven centuries after that event occurred, it had, apparently, simply made clear that Kuveni and her retinue were not only living in well ordered houses, but were dressed in raiment made of cloth, and Vijaya himslef was entertained to sumptuous meals of rice along with whatever made it a banquet. AS we all know, merely to build houses, spin cloth, or harvest rice would have implied not only a clear culture at the time, but at least three centuries before, for cotton cultivation and spinning, and rice cultivation and harvesting, to have been a common practice by the time of Kuveni.
That would have put the dating of the human history of old Lanka beyond 500 B.C., to at least 800 B.C. if not 1000, or, who knows, earlier. Perhaps it would be feasible to conjecture - beyond mere romaticizing - that there was a continuing thread which linked them in this past, through to the resplendences of Ravana's Lanka itself, whose excellence even the Ramayana so much conceded.
The system of Governance was then clearly based on Kingship (queenship), with the expected. Overlords, Minor Chieftains, and Village Heads at the
last level in all likelihood, with some overt representation for the Community.
186

Page 103
4-Vijaya From the period of Vijaya except with an initial hiatus, the ancient history of Lanka, and of its modes of governance and existence, obtained the benefit of historical recordings, however heroic or romanticized they may have been in part, according to the inclinations of its writers.
And so, Lanka enters upon the Anuradhapura phase of Pandukabhaya in the third Century B.C., the landing of Mahinda with the Message of the Buddha in the same period, and the flowering of what came ot be known quite rightly as the successful and outstanding Sinhala civilizations of Anuradhapura and, later, Polonnaruwa. '
But to enter upon this phase actually, there was clearly both a penumbra and a transition. Since there was no Sinhala language in this early new Society formation, until a fusion of the local Naga language and culture with its Pali and Buddhist inheritance, there was clearly a time of incubation and cross fertilization of both culture and language which led to the final Buddhist civilization and Sinhala language which emerged subsequently. As far as it's known, there is absolutely no knowledge of what the language was at that time, there being only two clues.
One was the still interesting attachment among Sinhala cultural heritages to "Sri Hela'-Hela being the original language ...... to the infusions of Sanskrit and Pali, and the development of what came to be the Sinhala language. At the other stream, there was what is fairly definitively asserted as having been the language of the ancient Nagas, namely "Elu' certainly reflecting a close link with the "hela' that emerged following the arrival of Vijaya.
It is therefore reasonable to presume that, historically, these infusions and cross fertilisations were of the original Elu (early Tamil), whatever regional language that Vijaya brought (which of course nobody knows anything about) and, as we saw, the rich Pali-Buddhist inheritance. It is certain that the later Tamil cultural infusion continued for long in this process and in tandem, for two reasons. One, the land was an original Dravida base and presumably had South Indian communion and concourse, as between people, from the most ancient times. The second, clearly, was that the kingdoms of South India, having been already Buddhist and having emphasised Buddhist traditions and created their own Buddhist literature, not only came in contact as fellow religious companions, but were also very much pioneers in the transfer of Buddhist philosophy, writing (including in Sinhala) and tradition into the new Lankan heritage and culture.
187

Along with, to use a modern terminology, the obvious great 'eco'-tradition of the whole region from the Deccan Plateau to the entire Dry Zone of Lanka, and flowering of the great Tank Irrigation Systems of these periods, the Lankan civilisaiton saw also the highest flowerings in its governance and administration, during those long centuries. It is perhaps no exaggeration to claim that these traditions rooted the population of the country as then known, into ideas and concepts of governance and administration which perhaps never left the indigenous people of this country-indeed what the Colonialists later saw when they arrived, and this Paper made out at the outset, as their Village Organisations.
The Governmental system - apart from what appears to be a model Municipal system of the city government of Anuradhapura - was firmly and deeply rooted in the basic Village Unit and enshrined through its Organisation, although hierarchically at that time, of Village Elders or representatives, who were wholly responsible for the 'totality' of the development, care, administration, and furture, of all aspects of life of their Village area. These included not simply our modern day local Government agenda of roads and wells, and Sanitation et. al., important in themselves, but went far beyond them. That embraced, in the modern lexicons, the entire resource endowments of the area, planning for, and pursuing the promotion of people's well-being, in production (including Secondary services as of blackSmiths and artisans), infra-structures (particularly roads and irrigation), education, health, housing (however varied), and everything else that concerned the rural economy and Society.
In addition, it would appear that there was a clear system relating it to its outer, and wider, neighbourhood region-wide. For these, there were the systems, as well known of course, particularly of the District (Rata), Region (Palata), and Country.
For the last, so long as they paid their dues, it would seem that the lower units were simply left alone, save in times of need-from the higher echelons (with what they could) to feed or to support, and from the lower echelons to rally with arms and men on call from the kings.
It was this hierarchy that served as the Administrative vehicle, from top down, and established the large Irrigation Tanks (wawas), from them to the feeders (or Elas) to the innumerable Village Tanks, and thence their Management, as Economic and Social resource by the pupulations at large.
188

Page 104
Following upon the withering away of the prosperity of the Anuradhapura and, later, Polonnaruwa regions of these years, the Country entered into a phase of shifting or fluctuating political organisations, through multiple kinships, Sometimes powerful enough to assert themselves across the country sometimes co-existing as several kins. It is not necessary to go into these for the purposes of this presentation, since it would be fair to state that, whatever the vagaries of fortune, the structual patterns of governance apparently continued as inherited from the past.
5 - Dravide The picture of the past, to be complete, had another geographical dimension which did not figure at least in the ancient records prominently, even perhaps Suggesting peaceful co-existence acroSS the country the only major fighting being between invaders from across the Straits who took Anuradhapura or later Polonnaruwa, and Sinhala leaders from the Southern interior who fought them.
The 'missing history' it seems is the obvious continuance of a Naga culture in various parts of the country (beyond the Naga-Vijaya base which developed into a Sinhala identity), albeit in a wider peaceful conception in Lanka one Country. That Naga identity after Kuveni, which was also symbolised in the ancient temples of Thiruketheeswaram, Thirukoneswaram and Munneswaram despite unrecorded history clearly continued.
As we said, it was in peaceful relationship with what became the Sinhala People and country. Thus, while the larger segment of the indigenous population of the Nagas and Yakkas, emerged gradually as Sri-Mela, or Sinhala, segments continued as Naga, exemplified also in the profusion of place names and person-names with the word Naga countrywide, but especially in what is today known as the North and East, orginally stretching form Puttalam northward, through Mannar to Jaffna and eastward through Vavuniya to the Trincomalee and Batticaloa Littorals.
Obviously, there were varied streams of settlements, which were independent of each other, particularly as between the Northern and Eastern regions. For example, this is evident even today in some of the terminologies and phraseologies. Giving us a leading example are the totally different and picturesque wordings to describe East and West, in Northern' Tamil and in
the "Eastern'.
189

DEVOLUTION AND ITS REFINEMENTS ARE ONLY HALF THE ANSWER
In Governance, for the Northern region perhaps, the Administrations were Successively as Naga-Kalinga-Chera-Pandya; in the East as typically that net-work' of closely knit, kindred Village Areas, and their Communities, with their Headmen or Overlords.
The central matter of concern in our theme is that such a Community of Naga identity existed, with structures of Governance that were similar, of course using its own language and customs, and being Hindu, having perhaps also been Buddhist, as seems historically evidenced, earlier.
Importantly, at some stage, with disintegration and disappearances of the Anuradhpura/Polonnaruwa civilisations for which - these "Northern' Nagas were not at all responsible - there naturally emerged in the latter, a stronger Social - political organisation and structure which manifested historically in "Kingships' of which the Kalinga, and subsequent Ariya Chackarawarthy dynasties became the symbols.
Their relationships with the Sothern Kinships, which now moved from place to place, and finally to Kotte were contrary to persistent popular imagery, not adversarial. Not only were they often blood relations, with even intermingling of Tamil kinship in the South and Sinhala in the North, but the kings of Jaffna were recorded as having come to the assistance of the kings of the South. Hostility was of course, not absent. The most well known episode of Sapumal Kumaraya was, in Northern folklore at least, a well accepted fusion, since his original name was known to be Shenpaha Perumal and, in deed if not in word, was also Hindu as much as Buddhist.
The important purpose of our taking this up here is that, by the time the Colonial phase came upon us, there was a clear kingdom in the North which was well entrenched - in language, culture, customs, habits, governance and administration - which extended up to Mannar, as evidenced by the confrontation that the King of Jaffna had with the Portuguese, apart from other happenings. The Eastern Region had a different, related, obviously Tamil affinity, but very much its own Society. It would appear that in the Regions Southwards, around Batticaloa, it had intimate relations with, and even recognition of lien (?) to the Kings of Kandy - apparently no difficult proposition given the nature of kingship as we saw earlier, and that the latter were themselves Dravida.
190

Page 105
What is important therefore is the fact of a separate people and Identity as above, albeit within one Country, to become a major realtity in governance and administration in the next phase and thereafter. The understanding of the foregoing is therefore most important, something indeed not quite addressed in history up to now. -
The Colonial phase It was in these circumstances that the Country suddenly entered into an
entirely new phase which later came to be labelled as the colonial phase. That originally began with the Portugese, in the year 1505, for around one and a half Centuries, was followed by the Dutch in 1656, for a similar period, and then by the British in 1796, who left, again after 150 years, and having by then taken control, for the first time in this era, of the entire Country. For more than its predecessors, therefore, it stamped its imprint in Politics, Governance and Administration, indeed in Language, Culture and much else, by the time it had left There could, from then be no "reversal of History'.
It is a commentary on the measure of the stamp of that Colonial phase that these appurtenances and heritages of both Governance and Culture continue as dominant facets of our system. In some ways, we made ourselves victims, often interpreting the alien political structures, systems and modes in indigenous communal, linguistic and cultural contexts and finding how much, afterwards, those had created problems for us.
Before we expand on what these last Colonialists left behind for us, we must, even briefly, pause to refer to the heritages of the two proceeding Colonial powers.
The Portuguese infused a cultural tradition of female attire and popoular music which are ingrained- and none recognises them anymore as foreign They also inter-married freely. They left a religion which was imposed, but is now part of the indigenous religious mosaic of our Society.
The Dutch left a brilliant system of jurisprudence, itself part inherited by them from the Romans which became for as an important appurtenance of good Governance, in an eventual triad which we accepted, of an independent Legislature, Administration, and Judiciary.
Both the Portuguese and Dutch left important heritages in Education which, whatever their motivations or shortcomings - and indeed there were -
191

certainly opened wide windows to the World outside for the Society of the time.
A circumstance that was to evolve later, though founded upon the large cross-racial conversions to Catholicism that took place under the Portuguese, was the barely perceptible transition of a predominantly Tamil speaking populaiton of the West Cost between Colombo and Chilaw, into a Sinhala speaking, Sinhalese population - joining, thus, their fellow Sinhalese in that region in a now indistinguishable mingling. Its actual emergence was perhaps assisted by the post-Colonial changeover to the mother tongue as the medium of Education. Until recently, in that region, vast numbers, who are now Sinhalese, would recall some of their Tamils, read only Tamil newspapers, and had parents or grandparents who spoke and read only Tamil.
This is, indeed, a more modern example, of what had been occuring right through the history of the Country. Not much earlier, during the Cinnamon plantations of the Dutch period South of Colombo, large numbers of Indian Tamil speaking migrants, working among Sinhalese, soon became Sinhalese themselves, in this case both as Buddhists and Protestant Christians who, under the Dutch, were more active than the Catholics.
While all these phenomena were social, they were of interest as well for our Theme of Governance. We mentioned how, earlier, the Nagas and others in the South of the Country, apparently merged with the manifest Sri-Hela civilisation, to become Sinhala; as did Tamils later, during the Dutch and British periods.
Also with the continuance of purely Naga and Tamil culture in what we described as the North and East of the Country in the ancient past, it is also known that large numbers of Singhalese populations there became Tamil, the most potent evidence of which is still in the considerable Kovia (Goviya) group, openly admitted as respectable, and admissible consequently with the higher caste, to temples and homes.
The British Patrimony The foregoing descriptions of how our populaiton emerged, manifested,
and encrusted themselves generally as Sinhala or Tamil became very Significant with the arrival of the British Colonialists for another major reason that has now come to explain our pre-occupations with our Social and political structures, and the issues of our Governance and administration.
92

Page 106
We already mentioned how, more than others, British Colonialism had modernised us and left their stamp upon us, widely and deeply, in all these spheres and, therefore, also in the Political.
But there was a demographic circumstance, of deep and major significance and importance, which it seems very few commentators have noticed, whether as record of a significant event by itself, or as being among the most fundamental factors that determined our recent Political History, the directions of its development, its travails, and the future of our Governance and Administration.
This circumstance arose from the fact that up to the time of the British, there was no significant mass of a Tamil population, living separately as a Tamil community among the Sinhala Population, in what is today broadly known as the South. The emergence of such a Tamil community, with all its appurtenances of residence, identity, language, culture, practices, ambitions, as a community, in Colombo and elsewhere, occurred with the British conception of the whole country as a 'single governmental Unit'. This was quite different from the Dutch and the Portuguese, when the Tamil Community, under foreign yoke equally, with the Sinhalese of the South, still lived entirely in their own areas, of the North and the East. At an earlier stage, Britain had even flirted with administering what was Ceylon as an appendage of the Madras Presidency.
Of deep significance was also that, while the British instituted Local Government reforms as early as 1871 well before the changes at the Centre, they did notestablish any system of Regional Government (Councils) which would reflect the historical roots of the Country in Governance and Administration. (Perhaps, the memories of the Kandyan Kingdom, were still too recent for Colonial comfort).
And so, while the earlier, or ancient linguistic communities peacefully merged with the majority in each area, the transplant that developed under British Administration and Governance led to a drastically different order. With Colombo as the Capital City of the country, the Tamil community grew in the service of the Government, in commerce and other enterprise. It soon emerged, although in much smaller numbers, also in other main town centres across the country and, for the most part, remained a separate community. Unlike in the historic past, it was a Community whose people that came, lived, prospered, contributed, even struck roots, but had its homes
still back from where they came. The importance of this cannot be
193

overemphasised, for within it lay the misperceptions and confusions that were to follow.
As therefore an entirely new phenomenon, which had no parallel in the previous history of this Country, Governance and Administration from then on took on its complexions.
The New Nationalism It meant that a 'new Pluralism', but based also on a new Colonially imposed 'Centralism', appeared on the Social and political scene that had no precedents for Governance and administration, to draw from, in its past history. Fired initially by the shared resentment of, and resistance to, Colonialism, the new Social emergence was one which, unfortunately, leaderships in the country successively failed to grasp.
A situation where the Tamil community had been only in the North and East, as historically was the case, would certainly not have led to the controversives, nor needed the attempts at political solution that had occupied the Society virtually this whole Century. That situation would have merely called for little more than a refinement of the old reality, to meet some new and growing perceptions of modern Democracy and Governance.
With the entirely new phenomenon of a Tamil population in the South, created by this last Colonial phase, the fact of an original historical Tamil Speaking North and East became confused on both sides of political divide, with bargainings and give and take by political leadership who were no longer based in their own regions, but concentrated in Colombo, the Capital and the Political Centre. Put in another way, if there had been no Tamil community in Colombo and related centres South, created under British rulership, there could be no debate, or issue, as to what the regions of Tamil abode were!
It must also be noted here that the circumstance of this new Tamil Community being in the South need not have been inevitable. For instance, had the British decided to locate the Capital of the country in Jaffna, Surely Sinhala leadership, cadres and populations would have not only been in Jaffna, but would have had politically and socially to do so - a most inviting
hypothesis for a gifted political novelist, we must say!
194

Page 107
It was in these circumstances, of facts and mis-perceptions, that the idea of a 'Confrontational Pluralism', indeed alien to Our Ancient Society, began to assume force. Indeed, even at this phase, during its early stages, we saw that both the Sinhalese and Tamil communities were in total acceptance of each other, united as they were in opposition to the Colonial rulers, reaching a high point at the time of the so-called Sinhala-Muslim riots of 1915 and the intercession of Ponnampalam Ramanathan with the imperial masters in behalf of the Sinhaleses leaders, the inter-communal harmony gradully faded, it seems in direct proportion, all the time, to the increasing self governance that accrued to the country
Yet there was one circumstance which stood out during this new period of History, and which could have determined the nature of progress or regress in Governance and administration in the country. This was that contrary to their separate geographical Identities in their historial periods and up to the end of the Dutch period, during the British dispesation, the Tamil community saw the resolution of their problems through Government at the Centre, of which they also saw themselves as participants.
The recent decades
Experimental Governance While we had various benchmarks, such as the Colebroke reforms, the Executive and Legislative Council, the State Council and finally, Independence and the Parliamentary System, the challenges prospects and Sadly also, the divides never came to be read, or acted upon, wisely. That may be said to have started with steps for elections of Ponnampalam Ramanathan as the so-called Educated Ceylonese Representative in the second decade of this Century - a momentary national euphoria, one may say - and the Subsequent equally obstinate refusal, by the majority community, to agree to a Tamil seat in Colombo to represent the Tamil community, leading to the resignation of Ramanathan from the National Congress.
The important highlight in Governance thereafter was the introduction of the Donoughmore Constitution in the thirties, with its Executive Committee System, The glorious potential, and opportunity, for use of the System, which had no Party divide and whose Ministers were de facto the elected Chairman of these Committees constituted from among all members of the House, was lost amidst the appetities for power and political advantage of the permanent Sinhala majorities in the House. In the result, the system
that would have paved the way for a harmonious future, became soon
195

notorious for its well advertised Pan-Sinhala Administration, with the Tamils left out on the wings. The beginnings of deep and fundamental resentment and the searchings for a separate identity, saw their emergence.
In emphasis, we must here revert to a point that we made at the end of our discussion of the Colonial Phase. It was noteworthy still, and perhaps a lesson for future resolution of our national concerns that right through this early phase of a Ceylonese Legislature, the expressed Minority demand was not for a territorial (Provincial, or Regional) accrual of powers, whether as devolution or federation, much less as separation, but was, unequivocally, (a) for redress in the unfair exclusion from participation in Central Government' and (b) for 'mechanisms for effective say' in such Government.
Into Independence This was the stage at the mid-50s, on the eve of Independence. Despite the
sectionalism, again, of the Westminster style Constitution of the Soulbury Commission, and emergence of the Minority based Federal Party, there was certainly no political or electroral interest in Separation - as was well shown by the sound defeat of a most highly respected Tamil Leader in the 60s at the hustings on a 'Eelam' ticket.
With the sweeping victory of the 'Sinhala Only' platform in government in the mid 50s and its associated stances Nationally, the Minority view of governance took on drastic turns and harder positions, assisted certainly by the Communal violences beginning in 1958, which kept repeating over the years, and climaxed in 1983.
Tamil views on Governance soon fell into one category of thinking and no more. This was that any future satisfactory Political arrangement for distribution of power through Governance and administration had to be firmly based on what came to be known as Devolution. It is interesting to note that, even then there was no demand for withdrawal of the Minority community for 'from 'participation in Central Government'. In retrospect, the concept was highly workable and commendable, for it was to give "selfexpression" at the Periphery, as the phrase went, to the Minority community, and their "participation" in the Centre, crystallising thus both concepts of Pluralism and Nationalism, and through it as well, a natural, unenforced Unity of the Country, contrary to what latter day Constitutions have sought to "enforce" by provisions-and continued to fail
196

Page 108
The highest early expression of this dual provision for Pluralism and Nationalism was by S.W.R.D. Bandaranaike in the intended, and later aborted, so-called B-C Pact of 1957 - forged, as Bandaranajke stated in a classical recall, to "interpret the Present in the context of the Future".
There was of course the earlier interlectual streak which Bandaranaike introduced in the mid-20, advocating Federalism, at a time when he had obviously, as much the relatively recent Kandyan subjugation in mind, as the aspirations of the Tamils - a matter that was affirmed by the Kandyans being the first to ask for Federation in the 20s, and placing this demand, at the end of that decade, before the Donoughmore Commission - as we already Saw, without Success. Once that died, the issue of federation never Surfaced, least within the Tamil Constituency - until, as we saw, events led the Tamil Leadership in the mid-Seventies, to plank for it as the only way out.
By this time, the country was ready for an impasse. On the one side, successive Sinhala Government continued to interpret Parliamentary Democracy, as based on a permanent Ethnic majority, as opposed to a Majority divided on Issues. On the other side, the continuous demands for any meaningful resolution of the needs of the Minority only met with periodic violence, also by the State, against dissenters, leading first to the resurgence of the federal demand and, eventually, insurgency by the Youth among the community.
They led to certain responses, largely it seemed, to make up for lost past opportunity. Certainly, the District Development Councils, of the 60s, were irrelevant as a solvent; and the 13th Amendment, of the 80s while of course a major landmark following on the Indo-Sri Lanka Accord became progressively dysfunctional in all but name. The current stage, of the "Devolution Package' recently released by the present government, carries its own promise, but equally its limit, in particular on historic conceptualisation of the issue, and the missing out on essential Central participation by all in Governance. The promise of Governance meeting the needs of both Pluralism and Nationalism, have still to be achieved.
In conclusion, then, the thinking up to now, on Devolution, and socalled refinements with it, while viewed as the total answer, are only half the answer. In the ancient traditions of this Country, as also in terms of modern aspirations and needs and, crucially, of affording complete satisfaction to'all segments' of the Country, a Satisfying structure of Governance harmonising
the conflicts of our Pluralism and the goals of Nationalism is indeed, and
97

may be found only in a combination of both, that is, Devolution and true Participation by the Minorities in Central Government. As we saw, even our brief history of modern Government affords lessons, of use and abuse, from which we could well devise patterns, norms and conventions, for Such Participatory, Government at the Centre which to repeat, would also indeed be the Country's more effective guarantee, through its patent 'Stake to the Minority in Central Government', against 'Separation'.
In this 'interlocking of Centralisation and De-centralisation. as I described it once, we may see the fulfilment together, of Past History, our People's Future Historic Evolution, and our final satisfaction, giving us a form of Governance and Administration that would be as fulfilling as it would be worthy.
FUTURE HISTORY
We have now come to our conclusion. Much as there may be many pessimistic observations in all the foregoing that may look discouraging, that is far from being so. It is not as if we have come to the end of the road.
This is not the End of History, to use a phrase of fashion. That would be neither truthful nor purposeful. Rather than the end of history, it can, and does mark the beginning of a New History. What we are seeing is perhaps the end of a road, and the opening of another, to fit and to meet the new challenges of a new Millennium, that should be no less magnificent than the Country's achievements of Millennia past. We are therefore, not dead, but on the threshold of a new Age. Being much alive also means that there are some lessons which we can carry from that past road that we have traversed so far. Let us, briefly, repeat these.
The Ancient Past carried the lesson particularly that Peoples living apart never found themselves perceiving the country as two, and never found difficulty in reconciling their differing habitats in an over-arching harmony that embraced each other.
When we come to the historical events of the Recent Past, we had to highlight, which had been so persistently overlooked, to our loss as a People, and which this Paper brought out. •
These were (i) the Historical Naga'continuity' in the North and East (under differeing
forms of governance and administration) and
198

Page 109
(ii) the Colonial phase emergence of a new, Resident Tamil Community in the South which considered itself entitled to be part of mainstream Governance and Administation.
Recent history, in a variation of the Ancient, has therefore impressed on us forcefully that the Country may be seen as One, only by also assuming its significant Communities still as having their own abodes in an 'accommodative Pluralism'. and in which, equally, "Confrontational Pluralism' was alien to their Past Societies.
Thus it is that a "New Pluralism' and a "New Centralism', had both to be created, as two 'genes' of that new Future History.
As noted at the outset, therefore, the key to the "History to Come' will be in the institutions of.
(i) Devolution (for Pluralistic self-expression), but also, (ii) Participatory Central, Goverment (for full and voluntary commitment to, and Stake in, Unity of the Country)
Given these creations, if"twere lucky to be alive", it should be luckier still, for those who shall follow, in the coming thousand years of this next history.'.

ESSAY II
HISTORICAL SURVEY OF EELAM
"The word Eelam is not invented by the Tamil militants and not to be considered as a derisive word. In fact, the story of 'Eelam" is the history of the Tamils itself." K.T. Rajasingham gives his point-of-view.
The history of the Tamils, is the story of the Eelam. The history of the world is not complete, if the true story of the Tamils and that of the Eelam is not included. Up to date, a few historians wrote bits and pieces about the Tamils and Eelam, but those details did not constitute the complete story.
The present history of the World is a Western interpretation. Western historians have purposely distorted the history to suit their own ends. To write the true story, the endeavor demands extensive research to uncover the distorted, deliberately ignored details, and to compile the discarded facts and the missing pages into a true histerical treatise. -
Thiruvalluvar, the great Tamil poet, in the opening chapter of his treatise on moral aphorism called Thiru Kural, wrote in the first chapter "Praise of God" and in the very first Kural (prosody, a unit of two line verse, called couplet or distich) "Aah," is the first letter of alphabets, God is primordial to earth." He gave God the Supreme position, as 'the one that existed ever since'.
Now the question arises regarding the emergence of the world. According to Rig-Veda, the Aryan concept. the world emerged from Soonya, which means from the Void or Nothingness:
Then even nothingness was not, nor existence, There was no air then, nor the heavens beyond it. Who covered it? Where was it? In whose keeping? Was there then cosmic water, in depths unfathomed? ... But, after all, Who knows and who can say, Whence it all came, and how creation happened? The gods themselves are later than creation, so who knows truly whence it has arisen?

Earlier, the entire land area of the world formed one continent. Later, due to grave impact of the Lunar and Solar gravitalional pull, including other violent process that took place deep inside the earth's core, caused the Split of the continent into two proto-continents, Laur Asia - the Northern hemisphere, that includes Europe, North America, greater part of Asia and Gondawan land-the Southern hemisphere. Geologists belie ved that a great continent called Gondawan land composed of South America, Africa, India, Australia and Antarctica. Researchers concluded that, Gondawan land remained as one single continent for nearly 300 million years. But after 180-150 million years, it began to break up.
Many millions' years after the break up of the Gondawanland, a land-mass named Lemuria continent emerged, for the first time Surrounded by the ocean. This land-mass that came into existence, was the old Oriental continent that Stretched in unbroken land formation from Madagascar to Malay Archipelago, to Australia, including Polynesia and northwards to the present Valley of Ganges. The Ganges Valley, earlier occupied by the sea, spreading westward across Persia (Iran), Arabia (Middle-east) and the Sahara regions, forming the southern limit of the Palae-Arctic Continent, that embraced Europe, North Africa and Europe.
The land-mass of Lemuria, the e Satern part of the Gonda Wanland, took credit for the human evolution. Paleontologists, gave Lemuria great importance as the place from where man emerged. According to findings, the ape - HomoErectus e volved into man - Homo Spaiens, from Lemuria.
Three phases
Three phases in the human history recorded before the
knowledge and use of metals, are often distinguished as, the Eolithic Age-or the early period of the Stone Age, when crude stone tools were used, followed by Paleolithic Age - when primitive man used unpolished chipped Stone tools and finally the Neolithic Agecharacterized by primitive farming and the use to polished stone, flint tools and weapons. An advanced State of a society began to emerge, when man became a farmer, but gradually through the interaction with fellow human beings in a creative way led to the emergence of the human civiliation.
201

The earliest people to form the real cities in the world were those who li ved in the region between the Euphrates and the Tigris river basins. The land bordering between the Euphrates and Tigris rivers was called Mesopotamia. Historians consider the people who lived in the lower Mesopotamia as "mysterious" people and called them Sumerians, in short, Sumers. Western Historians had simply ignored the language they spoke as agglutinative, which has no clear or close relationship to any known lanugage family. Later, researchers concluded that, the Sumers were proto-Dravidians. Even today, historians are not that comfortable to accept Sumers as Dravidians, described in the historical parlance, speakers of Thamil or Tamil, an eternal language, acclaimed as pioneers of human civilization.
Sumerians
Sumerians were neither Aryans, nor Caucasians, and not even Semites. From where they originated, nobody knows. Moreover, they were characterized as mysterious people. Their brown complexion, locks of long dark hair, the language they spoke and the kind of writing - the first of its kind, they used to scratch upon clay tablets, clearly differentiated their individuality and confirmed them of being belonged to the proto-Dravidian origin. When their writing was deciphered, it became apparent that they were not a distinct ethnic group, but were proto-Elamites. Ela or Illa denotes the earth and thus Elamites means "Earthly people."
Sumer is the ancient name for Southern Mesopotamia. Sume in Tamil means "a country" and Sumer means "those who live in a country." The name Mesopotamia derived from Greek word Mesos - middle. And Potamai means 'Rivers'. Thus Mesopotamia literally, means, between the rivers'. Sumer does not indicate any spepcial ethnology, but people who lived in the country. The capital of Sumer was Ur. This is also a Tamil word, meaning 'a city," or 'a place of abode of people," or 'a settlement'.
During the Protoliterate period (3200-2850 BC), the city states dominated by the temples emerged and writing was also invented. The earliest writings were in the form of pictograms, or simplified pictures on clay tablets, usually baked after being inscribed with a reed. Subsequently, their writing gradually evolved towards cuneiform, a way of arranging impressions stamped on clay, by the
202

Page 111
wedge-like section of a chopped-off reed. Names, of places, cities and other names clearly indicated them as the early form of Tamil. Available information leaves beyond doubt that Sumerians spoke Tamil, as Spoken in the pre-historic days.
Deep rootes
Sumerian civilization had deep roots. The people lived in
villages and also had a few cult centers. One of the cult centers was located at Eridu, probal by originating in about 5000 BC. It grew steadily and by the middle of the fourth millennium, there was a temple, which provided the original model of the Mesopotamian monumental architecture, but today only a platform where it rested remains to be seen.
Excavation conducted at Eridu, beneath the earliest Sumerian buildings and foundations revealed the existence of an early Neolithic culture, before the invention of writing or the use of bronze amidst the other ethnic groups in the rest of the world. They used to harvest agricultural groups by earthen ware sickles. Researchers concluded that pre-Sumerian people were protoElamites and confirmed their findings, when they discovered similar Neolithic remains at Sausa, once the capital of Elam.
The word Sausa in Tamil means "cleanliness," therefore Sausa means a clean city. (Elam, Ilam and Eelam are the corruptions of the same word. Western authors and historians modified foreign names according to the predilections of their tongues. Confusion of the name became inevitable as Western historians were neither Elamites nor Tamils, nor versed in them.)
On the other side of the Tigris, lived Sumerians' neighbours, the warlike people, called the Elamites. The name of the country was Elam (Western historians became accustmed to the pronunciation of Elam based on their transliteraton of the word), and those who lived in the country were Elamites - the earthly people, who influenced the civilization, culture, writing and economy of the ancient Sumers. They were the ancient civilized human race, that lived during the early Neolithic period, eight thousand years before Christ. Elamites were the first to use the "Wheel" for transportation, The invention, a forerunner to the industrial revoluition, but the Western historians credited the invention to the Summers, who adopted it at a later stage.
203

Khuzistan, a region in Iran, located in the east of the Tigris is presently identified as the location of Elam. Elamites were Negroid and there was a strong Negroid strain in them. Elamites' civilization flourished some 8000 years ago with city-states, distinctive culture and a written language. The language of the Elamites, after analysis was found to be phonetically and morphologically similar to that of Tamil.
Earlier, Elamites had a pictorial graphic writing system, called pictograms, followed by hicroglyphics. After the middle of the third millennium BC, most of the Elamites texts discovered were in the cuneiform Scripts. According to research, it became apparent that, Elamites spoke a language cognate with that of the Tamil. Western historians felt that crediting Tamils of being the pioneers of human civilizatin may not place them in any advantageous position. Therefore Elamites became a forgotten race and today Persian (Iranians) live in the ancient land of Elam, once inhabited by the glorious forefathers of the Tamils.
Again, historians identified the Elamites in the Sahara region, located in northern Africa. Sahara was once an inhabitable region, consisting of vast grassy plains and luxuriant forests, traversed by rivers with extensive Swamps. It was the home of pastoral peoples herding cattle, sheep and goats. In those days, before 3000 BC, what is now a stretch of the largest desert and arid canyon, was a fertile Savannah region, intersected and drained by rivers running down to Niger and by another system running nearly seven hundred and fifty miles into Lake Tehad.
The region earlier had also a large lake called the Trinition Lake, amost bordering the Northern shores of Africa. Due to a cataclysm, the European-African isthmus breached and forced the waters of the Trinition lake to flow into the land-locked Mediterranean Sea. When the lake and other rivers, that once traversed the fertile plains of Sahara flowed into the Mediteranean sea and elongated it, the region began to dry up and by 1250 BC, the entire region turned into an arid zone, that led to the emergence of the world's largest desert. When Sahara began to dry-up, the people who lived in the region disappeared. What happened to them ?
204

Page 112
Puranic India before the deluge-where LANKA is circled.
The Sahara settlements
After World War II, scientists began to explore the Nile valley region in the Sahara area and discovered traces of early human existence, the "AS Selar Man." While a Section of the Elamites remained stationary in Elam even before 2500 BC, a large section, according to the migratory tendency of the early civilized men, were on the move. Elamites suddenly disappeared from the Euphrates and Tigris river basin. What happened to them?
Elamites, a people who possessed a tradition and civilization older than that of the Sumerians, suddenly vanished from the original Elam. We do not know what happened to them. They seem to have been overrun and the population absorbed by conquerors. Whilst the Elamites were in Elam, even before the Great Flood, they were also identified contemporaneously in the Sahara region, and whilst being in Sahara, a section of them was on a constant move migrating all over. They were on the move through the Ural mountain regions, ultimately establishing themselves in India by entering through the North-west. Their dispersal ranged from Central Asia to the Mediterranean region in Africa, Islands in the Aegean Sea, into Eastern Europe, ultimately to India and beyond.
Elamites, described as long-headed from front to back, (dolichocephalic) mixed with short-headed from front to back
205
 

(brachycephalic) the Armenoids, along their migratory routes and established themselves in India before the 5th millennium BC. Those immigrants might have possibly come into prolonged contact with the Ural- Altic (Ural -Hungarian, Finnish; Altic-Turkish, Mongol) speakers, thus explaining the striking affinities between the Tamil language and Ural- Altic language groups. Subsequently, this particular race of people, the Elamites, spread eastward, through the East-Indies to Polynesia, Australia and beyond. Tamils lived in those countries, before the Neolithic period and pioneered the evolution of human civilization.
In 1816, Francis W. Ellis, a British civil Servant was the first European to recognize the distinctiveness of the Tamils and their eternal language family. For him and to the rest of the Westerners, Tamils became a newly evolved human race, Later, in 1856, Robert A.Caldwell, in his, "A Comparative Grammar of the Dravidian or South Indian Family of Languages," used the Sanskrit word 'Dravidian' to name the independent family of the Tamil language group. Caldwell based his interpretation of the word Dravida, according to a 7th century Sanskrit text, to mean Tamil.
Caldwell failed to explain as to why he called the Tamil family of languages with a Sanskrit word, when it is already has a name and called as "Tamil". Many consider it a disgraceful arrangement to name one of the greatest, oldest and eternal, and independent language group, with a Sanskrit word. Many scholars found the word Dravida derisive, unfortunately, Tamil scholars have failed to rectify the injustice done to the oldest language family.
On the other hand, Dravida is purely philological and is a name of a linguistic family and is not an isolated linguistic group, with uninterrupted continuity over a period of more than 10,000 years, covering the period from the proto-Elamites, pre-Mediterranean, pre-Hammito-Semitic, up to the present day. The language, considered one of the oldest, eternal, spoken by the mankind from the very day human civilization emerged, but still young and vibrant. Its spoken even today by more than 80 million speakers scattered all over the world.
When the Elamites were identified in India, their earlier distinct ethnicity was completely ignored, but after the 19th century,
206

Page 113
ethnologists identified them as Dravidians, based on their language, as the speakers of Tamil. Even though, the Tamils ethnic identity continuously transformed, they continue to stake their claim of being the oldest civilized nation, based on their linguistic and cultural continuity.
A great catacly Sm
In the early ages, the name Manu, applied to 13 successive mythical progenitors and sovereigns of the earth and two of those Manu descendants were Saman and Elam (Ilam). Saman was the brother, who ruled the Northern portion of the sub-continent, while his sister Elam, ruled the Southern portion, consisting of Thonda Nadu, Vanda Nadu, Kapatapuram, Elamandalam (later called Eelam or Ilankai), Madura and Viramahendrapuram. Due to a great cataclysm, a vast portion of Southern India submerged under the sea. The first Tamil Academy, (Sangam), located at the Southern Madura too submerged about 2500 years ago, before the birth of Christ. Due to the flood, Elamandalam separated from India, emerged in the form of an island and this island is Eelam.
Regarding the great deluge and the separate entity of Eelam, several Tamil literary records are available and the following are a few of those recorded evidence:
"The Cruel ocean engulfed the river Dikhruli and a row of hills including the mountain Kumari" - Cilapathikaram - Chapter 11:20-21
"In order to compensate the area lost to the sea, king Pandia moved tirelessly, to other lands and captured them." - Kalitokai "The roaring sound of the ocean water trembled the peak o the mountain."- Kuruntokai
"Before the ocean engulfing, lies few countries, and the Southern boundaries were described." - Ilamp uranar - a commentator of Tolkapiam.
P.E.P. Deraniyagala, a former Commissioner, Department of Archeology, in his lecture on "Some Aspects of the Fauna of Ceylon (Sri Lanka)" delivered at the Royal Asiatic Soceity on 28 May 1965, describes the geographical isolation of Ceylon as follows:
"The presence of Jurassic deposits both in the North-western Ceylon and in the Ramnad district of India shows that the twin were
207

once connected, but since the island lacks many of the consecutive deposits, it appears to have broken off from the mainland during this period, The two countries became reattached by early Miocene times, but shortly afterwards they broke away again, and several Such unions and separations have occurred. During each interval of isolation, plants and animals had evolved new subspecies which had invaded the neighbouring country whenever the land connection was renewed."
"Geographical isolation is one of the essentials for subspecies formation and in living things the amount of latent ability to undergo future modification is termed 'plastic' whereas a species that no longer respond to the environment and is unable to modify itself has reached the limits of its plasticity and should be designed"constant" or "fixed".
"Although geologists generally consider Ceylon to be a part of one of the most stable areas of the earth, this view is only partially correct and some parts of the Island have undergone alteration as will be seen from the following: (1) Early records mention that there were about a hundred Islands off its coasts (Fahien 410 AC) and also that there was a large Island named Giri adjacent to it, which had disappeared (Skanda Purana and Dipavamsa). (2) Portugese records mention heavy earth quakes with explosion
and the formation of numerous fissures. (3) The disappearance of many Islands that appear in Dutch and early British maps has been Studied and attention drawn to their inability, to the oscillation that is so evident towards the Northwest of Ceylon and the elevation of the Negombo beach area. (4) The raised beaches from Mundel and Eluvankulam areas to the
north - west and others in the South-east. (5) The ring of waterfalls in the highlands indicate that they have
been produced by recent thrust. (6) The river gravel in the North-western and Northern provinces and pot holes especially in the Southern and Eastern provinces which are now remote from the rivers that had produced them. (7) Submarine canyons at the mouths of such rivers as the Daduru, the Valave, the two Maha Oyas, the Galoya and Mahavilli. (8) Borings in the beira lagoon near Colombo have revealed alternate layers of marine, fluviatile and swamp conditions of Pleistocene age.
208

Page 114
(9) The rivers frequently display river captures and a change of
their courses, e.g. Mahaveli and Valave rivers. (10) The original beds of some of the larger rivers such as the Kalu and Kalani rivers are ten to twenty feet below sea level from their mouths up to a distance of about a mile inland. (11) The abundance of thermal and mineral springs. (12) The presence of chalcedony and natural glass."
"Geological movements such as faulting, tilting and dislocation that occurred during the last few geological periods are among the more important factors that have influenced evolution,especially after Ceylon had become isolated."
Confirming P.E.P. Deraniyagala's findings that through the existence of common fauna and flora in Ceylon and in the South Indian coast of the earlier land links of Ceylon with India, S.U. Deraniyagala writes in The Prehistory of Ceylon "The fauna and flora of peninsular India clearly Suggest prehistoric land connects with Lanka at various times during the Quaternary, as firmly indicated by the presence of Elephas maximus, and Upper Pleistocene form, on either side of the Palk Strait. Land connections with the mainland would of course have been of prime importance for prehistoric settlement of the island prior to the advent of seafaring."
Compilers of Ceylon annals, purposely avoided the historical geography of the country. They have failed to analyze the geographical side of the time wrought changes that took place in the formation of the insular country. This study helps to know the past, as well as helps to reconstruct the past more vividly. The geographical study of the pre-historic era of Ceylon, Illuminates the physical evolutionary changes that took place in the landscape of the country from the very ancient period provides a vivid picture of the early inhabitants, whether they were there when the country separated, or they migrated after the separation and how they happened to live in the island, along with other details, such as the pre-historic Society, their social interaction, civilization, the government and all the other details needed to discern a pattern of the past, to conclude the true historical background.
209

The Bible
Mention regarding the origin of Eelam as an insular country,
is also found in the Holy Bible. The Bible describes that Elam.
"became the maritime nation with a separate language. Genesis 10
The Descendants of Noah: 1) These are the families of Shem, Ham, and Japheth, who were the three sons of Noah; for sons were born to them after the flood. 2) The sons of Japheth were Gomer, Magog, Madai. Javan, Tubal,
Meshech, Tiras. - 3) The Sons of Gomer: Ashkenaz, Riphath, Togarmah. 4) The sons of Javan, Elishah, Tarshish, Kittim, Dodanim. 5) Their descendants became the maritime nations in various lands,
each with a separate language. 21: Eber descended from Shem the oldest brother of Japheth. 22: Here is the list of Shem's other descendants: Elam, Ashur,
Arpachdad, Lud, Aram. Following description is provided in The Holy Bible: 4.
Genesis 7: 19-about the deluge, the greatest cataclysm recorded in the human history: "All the tall mountains that were under the whole heavens came to be covered."
Also in , 2 Peter, 3:6, - "the world of that time suffered destruction." -
As indicated in the Holy Bible, the deluge occurred in the year 2370 BC. The flood began- "in the second month on the seventeenth day of the month." -(Genesis 7:11) -
The second month corresponds to the latter part of October and the first part of November on the present calendar. Many people around the world commemorate the "Day of the Dead' or the 'Feast of Ancestors,' at the time of the year, to reflect the memory of the destruction caused by the Deluge and to remember the deaths.
After the deluge, according to The Holy Bible, descendants of Noah became the maritime nations of the world. One descendant is Elam, also a maritime nation.
The present Eelam, according to The Holy Bible, came into existence after the Deluge. Therèfore, the Eelam of today is a creation by God, and according to The Holy Bible, the Elamites are
210

Page 115
a blessed maritime nation and not the earlier nation by the river basin as erroneously identified by the Western historians. The descendants of Elam, who descended from Noah and the maritime nation Elam, are both blessed in the Holy Bible and this act of God goes to prove the eternality of the country and the entire nation.
The people of Eelam had their own rulers after the country separated from the mainland India, due to the second universal deluge. The land-mass that separated from the Kumari (Comarin) continent called Elamandalam, came into existence as Eelanadu or Lanka, the resplendent country, in the midst of the Indian Ocean. As prophesied in the Holy Bible, the maritime nation of Eelam became a reality. (see Essay IV)
In conclusion, the word Eelam is not something suddenly invented by the Tamil militants and not to be considered as a derisive word. There is no Tamil Eelam or Sinhalese Eelam, but only the Eelam. Therefore, Eelam is the blessed name of the entire country, which is now being called Sri Lanka.

ESSAY III
FEBRUARY 1621 TAMIL SOVEREIGNTY ENDS
K.T. Rajasingham narrates the fascinating story of how the Kingdom of Jaffna fell into the hands of Portuguese leading to the end of Tamil's sovereighty in February 1621.
The pink colour Royal Standard, with recumbent bull, the crescent and the Sun, given by Irama to the first Arya Chakaravarthy, fluttered high and aloft in the proud land of the Tamils for nearly 2,500 year long period, depicting loftily their sovereignty and independence. At last it was brought down for ever on 11 February 1621, when the Kingdom fell permanently to the hands of the Portuguese. Nearly 1200 heads of the Tanjore Nayakar's troops were lopped off, at the last confrontaton that ensued at Atchuvely. The fatalities included then Tamil rebels as well, who joined forces to retrieve the kingdom from the Portuguese. Ultimately, the Portuguese managed to keep on with their prized possession, the Tamil Kingdom, till June 21, 1658, on which day, the Dutch captured and brought the kingdom under their rule.
Earlier, in June 1619, when the Portuguese captred the last king Cankili Kumaran (pronounced Sankili Kumaran), the Kingdom was incorporated with the crown of Portugal. The Christian Mudaliyars and the Tamil Chieftains gave their allegaince by oath, subjugating the kingdom to the Portuguese administraton. Filipe De Oliverya, the commander of the Portuguese Army in Jaffna, moved his bases to Nallur on February 2nd, 1621, and proclaimd himself as the Governor of the kingdom. On the same day, the most revered Hindu shrine, Nallur Kandasamy Temple was razed down on the orders of () li verya. Portuguese and the Las ca rins (hired Sinhale se mercenaries in the Portuguese army) from the South, looted the temple, burnt it down and removed even the stones from the temple's foundation, to build a Christian church and a fort in Jaffna. Oliverya was acclaimed by the Portuguese as a greatest savior of Christianity,
for his feat of destroying more than 500 Hindu temples.
212

Page 116
Filipe De Oliverya
When Filipe De Oliverya became the governor of Jaffnapattam,
he ruled the kingdom with a strong hand and arrogant resolve. He
declared that continuing with the practice of Hindu religious services and rites is an act punishable by law. Under his rule, the Society of Jesus - the Roman Catholic missionary, constructed nearly thirty churches, by demolishing Hindu temples. He introduced compulsory proselytizing. The destruction of famous Hindu temples such as the Nallur Kandasamy Temple (Nallur), Kailasanathar Temple - (Nalur), Muneswaram temple - (Chillaw), Thirukket hies waram temple - (Matota), Konesar Temple - (Trincomalee), caused great frustration and restlessness in the minds of the Tamils.
Oliverya also burnt down Saraswathy Mahal - the oldest library of the Tamils, that housed precious and valuable historical documents regarding the origin of the Tamils and of their ancestry. Once this ancient library was burnt down, the Tamils were left without any authentic documents of their antiquity.
Jaffna peninsula was inhabited by people even before the IramaIravanan war. Before the arrival of Vijaya, the peninsula has been formed geographically, and was populated. Anthropologists, geologists and other Scientists are of the view that the landscape of the peninsula is a mixed quality of many physical features with characteristic of limestone regions. On the surface, it had blown Sandy tracks in the north-eastern portion. In the absence of natural forest ranges, except for a few scattered thorny bush tracks within the peninsula, it is difficult to estimate the terrestrial resources of the area. There were no natural fresh water resources such as lakes or rivers in the peninsula. The only possible source of water left for those inhabited in the region was to sink deep for the ground Water.
To obtain water from the underground, technical expertise and strong implements were needed. As the people who lived in the peninsula survived for ages, it became clear that they had the expertise and also the strong implements to dig in for water that lay beneath the limestone region. A.M.Hocart, former Archeological Commissioner of Sri Lanka writes, "From the Eolithic Age, we jump straight to Iron Age. We do not know when iron was introduced
into Ceylon (Sri Lanka)."
213

According to historical research, people in the Indian subcontinent began using iron implements around 3000 BC. Therefore those people who populated northern portion of Ceylon, after it emerged as a distinct geographical entity, were aware of the usage of iron and used iron implements to sink artesian wells to draw fresh water from beneath those limestone belts.
The Portuguese historian Padre Fernao de Queiroz, when referring about the Jaffna kingdom wrote. "This modest kingdom is not confined to the little district of Jafanapato, because to it are also added the neighboring lands and those of Vanni which is said to be the name of the Lordship which they held before we obtained possession of them ......... and outside it there stretch the lands of Vanni crosswise from the side of Mannar to that of Triquilemale (Trincomalee) and beyond"
Arrival of the Portuguese
Portuguese first arrived in Sri Lanka by accident. Their arrival could be described as a rude quirk of destiny. In 1505, when Veera Prakrama Bahu VII was the king of Kotte, Vikrama Bahu was the king of the hill country and Pararajasekaran was the Tamil king in the North. A Portuguese fleet, under the command of Captain-major Don Lourenco de Almeida, forced by winds and waves, was tossed into Galle, the harbor located in the southern coast of Sri Lanka. He learnt that this was the famous island of Sri Lanka and he sailed on to Colombo, the port in the Kotte kingdom.
News of the arival of a strange fleet reached the king. Rajavaliya describes the arrival of Portuguese as follows:
"There is in our harbor of Colombo a race of people, fair of skin and comely withal. They don jackets and hats of iron; rest not a minute in one place, but walk here and there. They eat hunks of stone (bread) and drink blood (wine). They give two or three pieces of gold and silver for one fish or one lime. The report of their cannon is louder than thunder when it bursts upon the rock of Yugandhara."
Hearing the news of the arrival of the strangers, the king
decided to receive them. Messengers were sent with gifts of fruits
to receive the aliens. Don Lourenco was pleased with the goodwill
214

Page 117
gesture of the king. He dispatched Fernao Cutrim, one of his captains of the fleet as his envoy to Kotte. Though the Portuguese envoy did not meet the king or converse with him, he was given an assurance that king would be pleased to form an alliance with the Portuguese.
Subsequently, Don Lourenco chose Payo de Souza as his envoy to meet the king and negotiate a treaty. At an audience with the king, de Souza proposed a treaty. Accordingly, the king undertook to give tribute of four hundred bahars of cinnamon every year for which the Portuguese agreed to protect and defend the ports of the king. This treaty heralded the entry of a new force in the political arena of the country.
A prophecy
However, the Tamil kingdom in Jaffna was under the rule of
the Arya Chakkaravarthies and remained as an independent geopolitical entity. Portuguese initially evinced little interest in the kingdom as it lacked spices. However, by 1521, they began to develop an interest in controlling the pearl fishery began to exact
revenue in a small way from pearling. Gradually, between 1536
1544, they wrested control of pearl fishing off the coast of Mannar, also converted a large number of Karava caste (fishers) people to the religion of Christianity. All converts were, regarded as Portuguese subjects.
Pararajasekaran ruled the kingdom from 1478 to 1519. Muda liyar, C. Rasanayagam in his Ancient Jaffna writes, "An important event took place during the reign of Pararajasekaran. It was the arrival at his Court of a remarkable visitor in the person of one Subhaditta Muni (ascetic) and his prophecy regarding the future rulers of the kingdom. The prophecy was to the effect, that his royal descendent would not inherit his crown and that the kingdom would pass into the hands of the strangers. He also foretold that the Parangis (Portuguese) would be the first to seize the kingdom and after tyrannical reign of 40 years, it would pass into the hands of the Ulanthas (Hollanders) whose cruel reign would last for 140 years. Then the Inthiresu (English) would wrest the kingdom and reign with justice for 79 years. In the latter part of the reign the Inthiresan would not reign with the same justice as he did at the
commencement."
25

This prophecy is contained in four Tamil verses found quoted at the end of the Yalpana Vaipava Malai. According to the prophecy, one of his sons was Cankili I, or Segarajasekeran, born to a concubine. He killed his brothers the legal heirs, and usurped the rule from his father in 1519. He was a very strong willed person and fought his battles with grit and determination. He was compelled to face the challenges posed by the Portuguese during his regime.
In 1543, he confiscated valuables found in all the shipwrecks in the narrow seas around his kingdom and imprisoned the unfortunate survivors. However the Portuguese managed to contact the king and paid ransom and recovered the ships and the cargoes. In 1544, he was angered on hearing that a large number of Hindus in the Mannar region were converted to Christianity. He went with a large garrison and ordered all those converts to re-adopt Hinduism. Failure to submit to the order led Chankili to take drastic measures against those converts. According to Portuguese historians, in 1544, more than 600 to 700 Christian converts in Mannar were massacred by Sankili.
Meanwhile, in 1555, the Sinhalese King Vidiye Bandara, being defeated by Rajasinha fled with his son and sought refuge in the court of Cankili in Jaffna. Accidentally he and his son were killed by Cankili's men, Subsequently all his treaures including the Tooth Relic that was in his possession, fell into the hands of Sankili.
Cankili's activities angered the Portuguese and in 1560, they made a determined effort to seize Jaffna. An expedition commanded by Constantine de Braganza, the Portuguese Viceroy, arrived off Jaffna and they overran the peninsula. They destroyed several Hindu Shrines and temples that roused the anger of the people in the kingdom. This forced the Portuguese to abandon their mission. The viceroy sailed with his men to Mannar, where he established a fort. During this period, the famous Thirukethieswaram temple was destroyed by the Portuguese.
Death of Can kili
Derails of how Cankili died was not in the record, and few historians recorded that he died in 1561, and whilst others write
that in 1564, Cankili sent a battalion of Vadagar (Northerners) to
26

Page 118
fight along with king Mayadunne of Sitavaka (1521-1581) against the Portuguese. From this, some historians conclude that, he lived up to 1565 and after his death, King Puvirajapandaram succeeded the throne. During the reign of Puvirajapandaram, a usurper called Kasi Nainar managed to wrest the power from Puvirajapandaram and claimed himself as Pararajasekaram and controlled the peninsula. According to available records, it seems that, the kingdom during that period was in the midst of severe political turmoil and uncertainty.
By then, the people of Jaffna have accepted the Portuguese presence and they requested Gorge de Mello, the Captain of Mannar to arbitrate over the disputed succession of their kingdom. Mello found that the political situation was in favour of Kasi Nainar's rival, whose name is not known. Meanwhile, Kasi Nainar's supporters lost no time in killing the legal heir, whilst Jorge de Mello hurried with his troops to Nallur and arranged the killing of Kasi Nainar by a hired assassin and set his nominee Periyapulle alias Segarasasekeran (1570-1582) on the throne.
Again, after a decade of exile, Puvirajapandaram (1582-1591) succeeded ousting Periyapulle and regained the throne. He carried plans to oust the Portuguese. He was character-wise a cast in same mold of Sankli. He opposed the spread of Christianity. Portuguese historians described him as, "crooked king". Even though he was deformed, he was a forceful person with strong resolve. In 1591, he decided to destroy the fort at Mannar, which was an eyesore and chase the Portuguese from the Tamil kingdom. He formed an alliance with one of the naval opponents of the Portuguese, Cortimusa Marikar, a member of the famous Muslim Kunjali family, the hereditary admirals of the Zamorins (rulers) of Calicut. This alliance was formed to counter Portuguese sea power.
Puvirajapandaram arrived in Mannar with Tamils and Telugu Vadakar warriors armed with cannon, muskets, fire bombs and roqueiros, but the fort withstood the day and night onslaught of the Tamil army. When the king retreated back to Jaffna, the Portuguese commander Andre Furtado de Mendonca followed the king to Jaffna in 43 rowing vessels and 250 thoneys (small wooden boats) with a company of 100 Portuguese and 3000 lascarins. Wikremasinghe,
the lascarin chief and the Sinhalese Karava Mudaliyars, Manoel
217

Pereyra, Pero Francisco and Diogo de Silva too went a long in the company to fight the Tamil king. On October 28, 1591, fierce battle broke out and the Portuguese army advanced towards Nallur destroying the stockades on the way with high mortality. Meanwhile Edirmannasingham, Periyapu lle's youngest son- was spared by the Portuguese warrior Simao Pinhao and the incident is now found Sculptured on a slab on the Maha Saman Devalaya at Ratnapura.
Puvirajapandaram tried to escape, but was captured and beheaded. The vengeful Portuguese army commander Andre Furtado de Mendonca ordered to put the decapitated head of Puvirajapandaram on a pike and was planted there for a few days to terrorize those who thought of opposing the Portuguese. When the king was beheaded, Medonca issued a proclamation calling upon the people of the kingdom to resume their day to day business as law, order and peace have already been restored in the kingdom.
Nallur Convention
He also summoned the chief men of the kingdom for a convention at Nallur. He then asked the assembled chiefs to acclaim the king of Portugal as suzerain (the soveriegn head) of the Jaffna kingdom. He promised to maintain the laws and customs of the Tamil kingdom. This offer was accepted and the two parties took an oath and the Portuguese commander on the advice of the Council consisting of the chiefs of Jaffna agreed to place on the thorone Edirmannasingham, the youngest son of Periya Pulle. He took the name of Pararajasekeran (1591-1615). The new king had a very difficult task to accomplish, because he pledged to favor the spread of Christianity in his kingdom. He was to bear the full blast of the arrogant breed of officials, whose torturously insulting and patronizing behavior, it appeard, almost to the point of servility. The young king developed a dual personality, one pro-Portuguese and another anti-Portuguese. The Viceroy in Goa was not happy with the attitude adopted by the king and was to go in person to wrest the kingdom. In the meantime the king died a natural death in about April 1615. --
His death resulted in a crisis about the succession. His eldest brother Arasa Kesari was nominated as regent for his 3 year old son. But this arangement was short lived, as Arasa Kesari's nephew
Cankili II or Cankili Kumaran hatched a conspiracy, assassinated
218

Page 119
his uncle and his supporters. The boy king's life was spared with the idea of using him, while usurping the reign of the kingdom. Portuguese captain of Mannar was unable to intervene, but was satisfied by exacting a promise from Cankili to favor Christanity and not to aid the rebels against the Portuguese rule.
However, Cankili's future became very bleak when Portuguese authorities began to view Jaffna as a great strategic importance to their hegemony in the Sinhala territory, because of their keen interest to capture the Kandyan kingdom. The appearance of the Hollanders in Batticaloa contributed to enhance the dimension.
Furthermore, when Cankili sought and obtained armed assistance from Ragunatha Nayakar of Tanjore (1604-1634) to suppress the uprising by the Mudaliyars and as he was suspected of having links with the Dutch, compelled the Captain General of Sri Lanka Constantino de Sa de Noronha to dispatch a sentry to Jaffna under Filipe de Oliverya to punish Cankili for his treachery. The first contingent left from Colombo in April 1619, in a fleet of eight sails under captains Jao Madeira, Jao da Silva and Vitorio de Abreu, with about 100 Portuguese and about a large number of lascarins. Oliveyra went on overall command of the overland forces and after reaching Poonery n made a delayed and difficult crossing of the Jaffna lagoon, before arriving in the Jaffna peninsula. Olivery a initially sent three demands to Cankili. * to surrender the Vadakar troops of the Tanjore Nayakar, to Surrender Varuna Kulattan, the Karava chief, and, * to pay moneys he owed to the Portuguese sovereign.
As diplomatic warngling failed, Olivery a proceeded to combat resistance put up by Cankili. At Wannarponnai, Cankili's forces were decisively defeated. Cankili, with his family set sailed to Tanjore to seek assistance from Ragunatha Nayakar. Unfortunately, adverse wind blew his boat towards Point Pedro, where he was accosted and arrested by the Portuguese along with his queens and children.
When the kingdom ultimately fell in the hands of the Portuguese in June 1619, Cankili Kumaran, the last king, was arrested in the midst of the sea waves near Point Pedro, while he was crossing the Palk Strait with his family to Rameswaram. Sankli and his family were first imprisoned in Nallur and later sent to Colombo with Oliveyras son-in-law Antonio da Mota Galvo. From there, he was taken to Goa and imprisoned. In Goa, was tried for
reason by the Portuguese High Court (Relaco) and found guilty and
219

was sentenced to death. The Portuguese converted Cankili and his wife as Christians. Cankili was baptized as Don Phillipe and his wife as Margrette. Ultimately the last Tamil King was hanged in the year 1621.
The wife and three daughters of Edirmannasingha (who had developed the dual personality of co-operating with the Portuguese and hating them, and who took the name Pararajasekeran upon becoming the King) were also converted to Christianity. Amongst the children, the eldest daughter, the heir to throne was baptized as Dona Constantina along with her two younger sisters and were first educated at Goa, later sent for higher education to Lisbon, the capital of Portugal. The fate of Tamils were sealed however, when Dona Constantina and her sisters, Dona Marie and Dona Issabella, signed the Royal Instrument of Transfer of their right to rule the kingdom, to the King of Portugal. This act effectively erಿ! the sovereignty of Tamils in toto.

ESSAY IV
COMING TO TERMS WITH TAMILS - By K. Rajasingham
Today, the name of the country has been changed into 'SriLanka' with a Sanskrit honorific Sri to denote, diffusing radiance, beauty and grace conjoined, prosperity, Sacred, holy etc., anyhow, Lanka, the name applied to the country, the very name does not have any remotest connection with its people, or the languages they speak. The name "Lanka", as called in the Sanskrit version of Iramayana, came into existence as the kingdom of the Asura (Sura means those Alcoholics and Asura means Teetotaler in Tamil and therefore honorific Asura denotes a teetotaler and vegetarian) king Iravana, a Tamil king. His kingdom was known as "Ilankai" (meansas it radiates, when you pronounce the name in Tamil, there is no need to adopt any honorific, because the name itself depicts the holiness of the land it indicates), but before 22 May 1972, it was Ceylon and during the prehistoric period was called Elam, (the eternal country), Ilam (Ilam is the Tamil word for gold and toddy) and presently Eelam. The pronunciation of the proper name depends on the proclivity of one's tongue.
Kautliyas Arthasastra, indicated the country Parasamudra (the land beyond the Ocean), but several other chronologists called the country with variety of names, such as Palacsimoundoun. (Palaiya + Silla + Mandalam - Palaiya-old; Silla-virtuous; Mandalam-region/ country; the old virtuous country), Simoundou (Silla + Mandalam - the virtuous country) etc., are few of those such names. Subsequently, the Greek. Geographer Eratosthenes, in his map of the world (200BC) called the country, "the southern limit of the known world" by the Greek word Taprobane. Our historians followed it up to call the country with the proper name Taprobane, whereas the word denoted an 'appropriated name' to the Greeks. "That this island was the celebrated Tapobrana seems manifest, for this word in Greek means 'unknown dwelling' or "hidden land" known only for its fertility and it is not a proper name, but appropriated as (in the case of) Sicily and Cyprus, to which also they give this name") The Temporal and Spiritual Conquest of Ceylon by Father Fernano De Queyroz., Translated by Father S.G.Perera, Vol. 1 Bk. 1, p.3.
This indicates the ignorance of our historians, to call the country
222

Page 121
with the proper name of Taprobane, that was earlier an appropriated name by which, the greeks indicated not only our country, but also Sicily, Cyprus and several other unknown countries.
In the "Ancient Jaffna", Mudaliyar C. Rasanayagam, pp. 293298, translated verses, 1 to 7, from the special preface of Segarajasekaram, the reputed Tamil astrological work, to explain the origin the Arya Chakaravarties (Arya Emperors) of the Tamil kingdom. Initially, Irama established a temple for the worship of Lord Shiva and involuntarily gave the God and the sacred place, his own name, Irama + Eeswaram = Irameswaram, and colonized the place with 512 Brahmins of Pasupata sect, (a sect of Brahmins from Banares), well versed in the Vedie studies and worldly knowledge. Irama directed those Brahmins to officiate at the temple and invested two of them with the authority of sovereignty.
Irama instructed Lakshman to crown Vibishnan, as the King of Southern Lanka, the Assura kingsom, and ordered him to return to Lanka. He ruled Southern Lanka from Lankapuri, the royal city planned and constructed by the divine architect Visvakarma, which was later identified as Kalyani, the ancient name for Kelaniya. Kubera, the estranged brother of Iravana, the first king, who made Lankapuri, the capital of his Southern Lankan kingdom.
Irama, in recognition of the independent nature of the Tamils and their kingdom, sovereignty, and the distinct indigenous national triat, invested a Brahmin to rule the Tamil kingdom, that stretched far to the north and east, along the Island's littoral regions. In sublimate to the Tamils' antiquity, Irama granted the Tamil King, garland made out of the sweet smelling Tulasi (Holy Basil), the title of the spotless Vedic Aryan-emperor, the beautiful white parasol, the victorious flag symbolizing a single conch, recumbent bull, crescent and the sun. The kings who reigned the Tamil kingdom up to it's fall to the first Western colonialists - Portuguese in 1621, claimed that they were the descendants of the Brahman kings of Rameswaram, initially enthroned by Irama - the Arya Chakkaravirthies and later Singhai Arya Chakkaravirthies- Arya emperors of the Tamil kingdom and Setu Kavalar (the Protectors of Setu-Rameswaram). Bertolacci, a historian of the early nineteenth century, says that, Matota was the capital of a kingdom founded by
the Brahmins, who had almost all the northern part of Ceylon
223

including Jaffna Patnam. This was the first introduction of the Aryan culture and customs in the midst of the Tamils who inhabited the entire country, during the pre-Vijaya period.
According to historians, Irama-Iravana war took place during the southward thrust of the Aryans towards the Southern Indian peninsula. They calculated that, this thrust happened somewhere between the years 1,100 BC to 800 BC. Ramayana, a chronicle deals with the Aryanisation of the South of India and Ceylon, also provides lucidly, the hoary past and the contemporary prehistory of Ceylon. The episode narrated in the Irama - Iravana legendary war, confirmed the pioneering effort to Aryanise Ceylon by the North Indians. Ramayana clearly indicates that Iravana, the Tamil king ruled the Southern Lanka and there existed another kingdom for the Tamils with Mantai as its capital city. One cannot simply dismiss the prehistory of Lanka, to suit the whims and fancies of the politicians. History has to begin from somewhere? Everybody poses the question "When did history began?" Easiest reply could be "in the beginning" and Moses who wrote "Genesis", means 'origin' or 'beginning' and it explains that, in the beginning, God created the universe and the man. The book describes the divine theory of the beginning of the human history.
Holy Bible relates about "Elam". According to Genesis 10; "The Descendants of Noah," line 1. 'These are the families of Shem, Ham and Japheth, who were the three sons of Noah, for sons were born to them after the flood." In the line 5, "Their descendants became the maritime nations in vaious lands, each with a separate language". It further states in line 20, "These then, were the descendants of Ham, spread abroad in many lands and nations, with many languages". In the line 21, the Bible speaks of Elam as follows: "Eber descended Shem, the oldest brother of Japeth." In the line 22, "Here is a list of Shem's other descendants: Elam, Asshur, Arpachsad, Lud, Aram." Line 32 concludes with, "All of the men listed above descended from Noah, through many generations, living in the various nations that developed after the flood."
The Holy Bible speaks of new nations that emerged after the Great Flood. According to the Bible, the Great Flood occured in
the year 2370 BC, as indicated by its detailed chronology. It was
224

Page 122
one of the greatest cataclysm in the human history, even down to the present time. Bible describes the horror of the flood, as "all the tall mountains that were under the whole heavens came to be covered." (Genesis 7:19). Bible, states the numerous new nations emerged after the Great Flood and one such new nation is Elam. The country was named after one of the descendant of Noah, namely Elam. From this account, it becomes clear that Elam emerged as one of the maritime nations after the Great Flood that occurred in the year 2370 BC.
At this juncture, it is appropriate to remind that, the Megalithic culture of South India has close similarities with the Megalithic culture of the Mediterranean region, which might have arrived in South India from the Western Asia, through migration from those regions and through subsequent contacts. The same Megalithic culture prevailed in Ceylon in the early period, before the IramaIravana War.
S.U. Deraniyagala, in his Prehistory of Sri Lanka,Vol. 11, p. 482, refers about the formation of the new geographical entity as follows: "According to Cooray, (1967:242), during the Miocene, at ca. 20 my (million years), an arm of the Tethys Sea extended down along India's west coast, while a long narrow tongue gradually encroached on the land surface bridging India and Lanka. The gulf apparently severed the extreme portion of the mainland and turned Lanka, probably for the first time, into an island." P.E.P. Deraniyagala, also describes about the emergence of the new geographical entity, Ceylon, "The presence of Jurassic deposits both in the Northwestern Ceylon and in the Ramnad district of India (Roy 1964) shows that the two were once connected, but since this Island lacks many of the consecutive deposits, it appears to have broken off from the mainland during this period. The countries became reattached by early Miocene times, but shorly afterwards they broke away again and several such unions and separations have occured" (in his lecture delivered at the Ceylon Branch of the Royal Asiatic Society on 28th May 1965, subsequently reproduced in the Society's journal of 1965, New Series, Vol. IX, part 2). Many other geological surveys go to proof that, earlier Ceylon was a constituent part of mainland India and it became an isolated landmass after "geological movements, such as faulting, tilting, and dislocations, that occurred during the last few geological periods, are among the more important factors that have influenced the evolution.

THE OUTLINE OF HISTORY
s- ERATOST HENES (Oose)
first *పీణీత భుభణీఖtiశళ
Dipavamsa, an ancient Buddhist historical record, (Hermann Oldenberg, who translated it "places the closing date of the Dipavamsa in its extant form between the beginning of the fourth and the first third of the fifth century AD. On the Chronicles of Ceylon (by B.C Law, pp 102) and Mahavamsa or The Great Chronicle of Ceylon, "compiled for the serene joy and emotion of the pious," (When fixing the time of the writing of Mahavamsa, Wilhelm Geiger concludes, "at the beginning of the sixth century after Christ, about this time the Mahavam sa was composed! 'Mahavamsa or the Great Chronicle of Ceylon. Translated by Wilhelm Geiger, in his introduction to his translation, p. xii) the two important Buddhist chronicles failed to record anything about the origin of the Island.
"The chronicles of Ceylon have nothing to say about the Uttarapatha background of the ancient history of Ceylon," On the chronicles of Ceylon, by B.C. Law, p. 49. In the Rajavaliya or a
historical narratives of the Sinhalese kings from Vijaya to Vimala
226

Page 123
Dharma Surya II (this is the latest known traditional history of the kings of ancient India and Ceylon which as a whole may be treated as the work of a single individual. The fact that its account closes with the reign for Vimala Dharma Surya (A.D. 1697-1701) has led Wilhelm Geiger to take it to be a compilation of the beginning of the eighteenth century. On the Chronicles, by B.C. Law, pp. 2728) deals with the subsequent floods that affected the country. But unfortunately in p.27, "In the Dvapara age of the world, on account of the wickedness of Ravana, his fortress, 25 palaces, and 400,000 streets situated between Mannar and Tuttukudiya were submerged by the sea,". Rajavaliya edited by B. Gunasekera earlier, in p 16, Rajavaliya states that, "After the war of Ravana, and before the attainment of Buddhahood by our Buddha, the teacher of the three worlds, Lanka had been the abode of the demons for the space of 1,884 years." (Siddhartha Gautama 563-483 BC, Lord Buddhaattained Buddha-hood, while meditating under a Bodhi or Pipal tree (Ficus Religiosa) at Gaya, in what is now the Indian state of Bihar in 528 BC," - New Age Encyclopedia).
According to the statement in Rajavaliya page 27, we could conclude that, Irama Ravana war occured in the Dvapara Yuga or Duvapara Yuga. This is anachronism. Irama-Ravana war must have occured in the Kali Yuga and the Kali Yugas are calculated as follows: In the Hindu scriptures, the age of the world is called Kalpa and now the world is in the eighth Kapla. It is subdivided into Yugas. The Yugas are four in numbers and their duration is first computed as the years of the God."
Subsequently calculated that a year of the God is 360 years of that of men. Therefore, the ages of the world, according to the years of the men, are as follows:
years 1. Krita Uyga = 4,800 x 360 = 1,728,000 2. Treta Yuga = 3,600 x 360 = 1.296,000 3. Dwapara Yuga = 2.400 x 360 = 864,000 4. Kali Yuga = 1,200 x 360 = 432,000
Total years of men in the 8th Kalpa = 4,320,000 years.
According to the Hinduttuva books, already five thousand and odd years had elapsed in the Kali Yuga - which is said to be the
period of degeneration of virtues, and by the end of the Kali Yuga,
227

according to Hinduttuva eschatologists, the world would be doomed for ever," i.e. all living beings would perish. Therefore, Rajavaliya's contention of Irama-Ravana war happening in the Dwapara Yuga is not in conformity with the Hinduttuva calendar and historical analysis.
When commenting about the Ceylon chronicles B.C.Law,'On the Chronicles of Ceylon" writes that "The chronology must begin from a certain definite date, which, in the case of Ceylon chronicles, is the year of Buddha's demise making the starting point of the Buddha Era (Buddhavassa)". -
"A happy coincidence is imagined and availed of to build a systematic chronology of the kings of Ceylon, the coincidence of the day of Buddha's demise with that of the landing of the exiled prince. Vijaya on the island of Lanka. A prediction is put into the mouth of the Buddha to raise the importance of his appearance on the Island as the founder of the first Aryan race," p.47.
It is unfortunate that, up to now, no efforts taken, regarding the Study of the prehistorical geography of the country, which would have discerned the geographical pattern at a particular past period. When the island became a distinct geographical entity, those Survivors of the cataclysm that forced the separation, must have been the original inhabitants of the new country. That is how, during the Ramayana period, there existed two kingdoms. Ramayana allegorically represented the first attempt by the Aryans to conquer the southern peninsula of India and Ceylon, but Irama was not described anywhere, as founding the Aryan race and regime, either in the South India, or in Ceylon. King Ravana and his clan strongly resisted the Aryanisation of the country. Ravana, a strong Saivaite, believed in monotheism according to the edict of the religion, therefore resisted the introduction of Hinduism, a new brand of polytheistic religion, by the Aryan invaders.
This goes to prove that the Aryanisation in the country started in the first millennium B.C. and not as described by Deranaiyagala, recorded in his Prehistory of Ceylon, Vol. 11 pp 739- 749.
Manimekhalai, a Tamil classical work, written by the Tamil
poet Sathanar in the second century AD, deals with the conflict
over the gem-set throne and how Lord Buddha visited Nagadipa to
228

Page 124
settle the growing strife between the two warring Naga princess. The name Nagadipa only found in the Pali chronicles, and not in any Tamil ones, but Nagadipa is identified as Manipallavam, in this particular classical work, a large island in the northern sea. It must be remembered that, earlier major section of the Tamils in Ceylon, also in the South India, embraced Buddhism. During that period, Kanchipuram in the Tamil Nadu, was the great center of Buddhism. Cilapathikaram, Manimekhalai, The Tamil poetical works, expounded the cause of the Theravada Buddhism, Dharma and Buddhist philosophy. During the existence of the Buddhist center at Kanchipuram, Tamil Buddhist clergies propagated the doctrine far as China, Korea and Japan. A few clergies to mention are : 1. Buddha-datta Maha Thero, lived in the fifth century, a Tamil
from the Chola country. w 2. Dinaga, a distinguish disciple of Vasubanda, a celeberated Buddhist logician, a student at Nalanda and later, lived at Kanchi Bodhirama, a Tamil brahmin, later he went to China to preach the Doctrine. ܓܝ 3. According to Hiuen Tsang, Acariya Dhammapala, authored Sasna Vamsa, son of a high official of the king of Kanchi, a Tamil. - 4. Acariya Buddhagosa, "the voice of Lord Buddha," from Kanchi,
a Tamil.
The purpose of short listing the above Tamil Buddhist clergies, who contributed towards the propagation of the Doctrine, is an attempt to show that earlier, the Tamils were also Buddhist. Therefore, it is not necessary that the 'Buddhist-finds' in the Sakanderodai are built or constructed by the Sinhalese kings. When Thera Mahinda came to the Island with the Sole intention to proselytize the Naga king Devanampiya Tissa and his people, a section of the Tamils who lived in the country came unto the three refuges and the precepts of duty. (Sarane su casilesu thitha). Sebsequently, the new converts to the religion felt of their 'foreigness' in the midst of the Tamils, majority of whom continued to practice Saivasim or Hinduism. This feeling of foreigness isolated them from the other Tamils and gradually assimilated themselves into the Buddhist sects. Historians with vested interests, even priestly authors, purposely withheld the conversion to
Buddhism by a section of the Tamils lived in the country. Normally
229

Tamils consider ethnic and religious identities as two different entities, but the collective ethno-religious identity is normally a self-ascription.
The Tamils, the indigenous people of the country, earlier lived in the entire country, but after several cataclysm (that occured after the Irama - Ravana war, during the time Kelani Tissa in 250 BC, and the flood of 1480, when the isthmus of Pamban was breached the great cyclone of 1627, where in many places the sea engulfed the land areas in the North, the flood of 1726, followed by two years of famine, the violent cyclone of 1802, and 1884, followed by the flood of 1918, and 1957) caused the Tamils to confine to live in the North and Eastern provinces, that includes all the - contiguous areas goes to constitute the Tamil homeland. The Tamils and the Tamil speaking people predominantly live in these areas for centuries. Therefore, the claim of a traditional homeland, a demand on a well-founded historical evidences.
Earlier, there was no universally accepted definition available to define the indigenous peoples of a country, later the United Nations Organization adopted an acceptable working definition. The definition, developed by one of the United Nations' Special Reporter in 1982, on the problem of discrimination against the Indigenous population, on behalf of the United Nations' SubCommission on the Prevention and Protection of the Minorities, turned out to be an acceptable definition.
"Indigenous communities, peoples and nations, are those which, having a historical continuity with pre-invasion and pre-colonial societies, that devleoped their territories, consider themselves distinct from other sectors of the societies, now prevailing in those territories, or parts of them. They form at present a non-dominant sectors of society and are determined to preserve, develop and transmit to future generations, their ancestral territories, and their ethnic identity, as their basis of their continued existence as peoples, in accordance with their own cultural patterns, social institutions and legal systems." - United Nations, Document No. E/CN4, Sub. 2/1986/7 Add. 4, Para 379.
I hereby refer to the Declaration of principles, adopted at the Fourth General Assembly of the World council of Indigenous Peoples, in Panama, September 1984, E/CN.4/Sub, 2/AC.4/1985/WP.5.
230

Principle 1. All indigenous peoples have the right of selfdetermination. Because of this right. they may freely determine their political status and freely pursue their economic, social and religious and cultural development.
Principle 2. All states within which an indigenous peoples live shall recognize the population, territory and institutions of the indigenous people.
Principle 3. The culture of the indigenous peoples are part of the
cultural heritage of mankind.
Principle 4. The tradition and customs of indigenous people must
be respected by the States, and recognized as fundamental Source of law.
I hope and trust that, the above internationally accepted definition regarding the indigenous nature of the Tamil ethnic group is enough to ascertain the Traditional Tamil Homeland demand. Trust that our Sinhala brethren accept our distinct position and take appropriate steps to keep the Tamils and Sinhalese united within a united country by providing the legitimate share of the Tamils within a mutually acceptable frame work and keep the country intact and
integrated for ever. /s" 2ك۲عا

ABOUT THE CoMPILER
The Author was born to Mut hura sa, and Sat kumann of Karampion. He haud his primary education at St. Peter's R.C. Boys' School. Naranthanai and his secondary education at St. Anthony;s College, Kayts and proudly claims to be a student of Rev. Fr. A. S. Joseph of rew.cred memory, the then Rector, Euphoria of success in the Senior Exam at the age of sixteen years made him to sidetrack the promptings of his father, an Engineer in the Railways to do Law and accept a Teaching appointment and later on entered Govt. Service on passing al Competitive examination. When I first met hiITN hic was Registrar of the Court of Request, Colombo and I perceived that he could make greater strides.
He enrolled for B.Sc. Economics at Aquinas and as he passed the Intermediate he was selected for an Overseas Appointment and he was postcl to Our Embassy in Rome. On returning al 1 hic end of the tour of service he entered the Ceylon Law College as the "Wispering" of his father was "nagging" him and thus he was admitted as an Attorney-at-Law and Nolary Public. He also completed the LL.B. Degree at the University of Ceylon.
He had a stint in London where he qualified as a Solicitor, In Colombo he was practicing in the Civil Courts. He devoted good time to his "hobby" compiling a geneology and the end result is this book.
A Genealogy organises those scattered picccs of family history into a compendium of Family Trees that evinces the History of a Community. A monumental work requiring time patience, case of contact determination and assiduousness to complete though the contents may he boring but valuable record useful for years to come to trace one's roots.
I must commend him for his idea in including essays on Religious and topical mallers as a diversion and more particularly for the addendum of a Chapter - Tracings of Tamil History,
I consider this work a worthwile effort and good to be kept in the homes of every Karampon and related families here and abroad and continue to Lupdate it with future family events.
Let us pray to Our Lord, Prince of Peace to usher in a period of Peace and Prosperity to all.
Dr. R.C. B. Joseph Attorney-at-Law
