Politics in Sri Lanka, the Republic of Ceylon
Sri Lankan Tamil Nationalism
Ceylon's (Sri Lanka's) passage to independence
The path to Ceylon's independence was strewn with difficulties, not least the status of the Tamil minorities. D. S. Senanayake, the conservative Sinhalese statesman, led the negotiations which created an independent Ceylon in 1948, and became the new nation's first Prime Minister. His negotiations with British politicians and civil servants are set out in a new two-volume study of the relevant papers by K. M. de Silva. His difficulty before indep…
S. J. V. Chelvanayakam and the Crisis of Sri Lankan Tamil Nationalism, 1947-1977
S.J. Chelvanayakam was one of the most prominent leaders of the Ceylon Tamils before and after the end of colonial rule, and in the early days of their struggle for political and economic equality. The author, who knew Chelvanayakam intimately, analyzes in this work his career and his symbiotic relationship with the Ceylon Tamils, which led eventually to the emergence and reinforcing of a defensive Ceylon Tamil nationalism. The work is based on p…

Modern British Drama
Our Country's Good
In 1988, Max Stafford–Clark, the artistic director of the Royal Court Theatre, approached Timberlake Wertenbaker and asked her to write a play based on Thomas Keneally's novel The Playmaker. Wertenbaker accepted the commission, writing Our Coumry's Good' which, like its source, deals with historically based material: the penal colony in Sydney Cove (Australia) where, in 1789, a group of convicts managed by Second–Lieutenant Ralph Clark produced G…

The Foreign Policies of India's Immediate Neighbours A Reflective Interpretation
The foreign policies of Nepal, Bhutan, Bangladesh and Sri Lanka have focussed mainly on Indian security concerns. These states have avoided a clash with India. Where clashes occurred, as in India-Nepal relations, 1950 and India-Sri Lanka relations, 1987, India intervened to stress her claims. India's relationship with Pakistan has been unsatisfactory. Both states feed on each other's military insecurity. In 1948 Sri Lanka had similar fears. Howev…

Long Distance Trade and the Luba Lomami Empire
The kingdom of Luba Lomami was enlarged and strengthened by the conquest of Kalala Ilunga at an unknown date before the end of the sixteenth century. It became a large but not dominant state. The expansion of Luba Lomami is generally considered to have occurred in the early eighteenth century, as a delayed consequence of the Kalala Ilunga conquest. In this it is said to have been paralleled by the expansion of Lunda. Unlike Lunda, however, it is …

Oppositional Politics in Ceylon (1947–1968)
INTER-PARTY RIVALRY BASED LARGELY ON SOCIO-ECONOMIC LINES took institutional shape in Ceylon, for the first time, with the approach of general elections in August–September 1947, under the newly inaugurated Soulbury Constitution. The issues at the general election of 1947 were simple and straightforward. It was accepted that the United National Party (UNP) would form the government with its leader, D. S. Senanayake, as the man who would lead the …

The Public Service Commission and Ministerial Responsibility
The Role of the Governor-General in Ceylon
Ceylon is one of the few non-European members of the Commonwealth which has been reasonably successful in adapting the Westminster-style government to suit its own requirements. There are difficulties in operating the system-a heterogeneous population comprising religious, cultural, linguistic and caste groups whose differences are not seldom accentuated by the island's slow rate of economic growth-but despite these, it could be said from the exp…
