商品簡介
This book presents a new and provocative perspective on South Indian migration to Sri Lanka, in contrast to the traditional historical records.
The central theme of the book is about a group of South Indian Brāhmins who migrated to Sath Korale (Kurunegala District), Sri Lanka, in the 16th century, during the Mundukondapola regional kingdom. These South Indian Brahmi immigrants were Hindus and the speakers of Dravidian languages. They eventually integrated into the Sinhala Buddhist society in Sath Korale and Kandyan regions.
The analysis of evidence is based on historical ola-leaf manuscripts (Puskola Poth), sociological accounts, and recent genealogical records.
This book also gives a brief account of other South Indian migrants settled in other parts of the country from medieval times, and assimilated into the local Sri Lankan society.
It appears that none of the current descendants of all these groups are fully aware of their South Indian roots as they have been erased from their memory after several centuries. This new information gives ample insight into the contemporary Sri Lankan racial and religious consciousness.
