Four Waves of Muslim-Phobia in Sri Lanka
The end of the civil war in Sri Lanka (1983–2009) has disappointingly failed to deliver any peace dividend. Instead, an era of triumphalism with a mood of schadenfreude entered the ruling quarters bringing in even more humiliation and uncertainties to ethnic minorities. The Muslim community has become the latest victim of this triumphalism. The ultra-nationalist Bodhu Bala Sena (Buddhist Power Force), a Buddhist organization led by an obstreperou…

Muslims in Harmony and Conflict in Plural Sri Lanka
Islam and Muslims in Sri Lanka have a history of more than a millennium. During this long period their economic and religious experience had been one of fluctuating fortunes beginning with harmony and prosperity under Buddhist monarchs to repression and misery under Western colonialists. Economic freedom under native rulers, mercantilist restrictions under the Portuguese and Dutch and open economy under the British brought alternative episodes of…
Political Buddhism, Islamic Orthodoxy and Open Economy
After nearly a millennium of uninterrupted harmony between the Sinhalese and Muslims in Sri Lanka, economic and ethno-religious developments after the 1970s have created an atmosphere of communal tension between the two groups. While a new wave of political Buddhism with its militant offshoot amongst the Sinhalese and the growth of a rigid Islamic orthodoxy amongst the Muslims have provided the ethno-religious dimension to this tension, the post-…

Kattankudy in Eastern Sri Lanka
In the changing economy of Sri Lanka and in its environment of political conflict, the situation of Muslims in the country, who are not a party to the ethno-nationalistic war, is worsening by the day. The politics of Muslims in the Eastern Province is a story of conflict within a conflict. In this province, Kattankudy, which has the largest Muslim settlement in the region, is one hundred percent Muslim and religiously conservative. These Muslims …
Islamism
Just as there are `Islams’ in practice there are also Islamic revivalisms in operation. The various revivalist models differ from each other in terms of their organizational structures, political and economic objectives and strategical directions. Islam and Islamism are therefore multifarious and to treat them as monolithic is to sacrifice reality at the altar of simplicity. Basically, all the Islamist movements that are current today can be grou…
The Muslim factor in Sri Lankan ethnic crisis
Popular journalists and prejudiced pundits have portrayed the Sri Lankan ethnic problem solely as an issue between two communities—the majority Sinhalese and minority Tamils. To the outside world the Tamil problem appears to affect directly only those persons of the Dravidian ethnic stock who are either Hindus or Christians, speak Tamil as their mother tongue and live in the Northern and Eastern districts of the country. Because of this over simp…
