HISTORY: The Malays in Sri Lanka are the descendants of
the kings, queens, princes and princesses, noblemen,
dignitaries, artists, craftsmen, commanders and their retinue,
who were part and parcel of the sovereign, exiled by the
Dutch.
A
hereto unknown factor, perhaps buried in the sands of time,
has been unravelled by the author
on the above. T. Arfin Burah a senior professional in Land
Surveying and Land Economics has delved in unearthing from old
records at the Archives and from several locations on ground,
presenting them in a manner a glimpse of the functioning of
Colonial rule, particularly in Java and Sri Lanka.
The
book covers the occupation of the Dutch in Ceylon extending
from A.D. 1640 to 1796, a period of 156 years. This book has
been made possible with the correct interpretation after a
great level of painstaking research and passion due entirely,
as with divine providence by a Dutch Professor Vanden Belt of the Lieder University
of Holland who played a major role in having given his
valuable time and expertise to the translation to English from
the Romanised Dutch records, and
also the Assistant Archivist Mrs. Dias who had in many ways
has helped the author.
This
aspect of it has been the missing link that has prevented the
narration of this epic story by other historians. The saga
unfolds when for the first time one gets more than a glimpse
of the exiled Javanese Prince Amankoeratte
of Batavia and the royal retinue in Sri Lanka. The great role
and responsibilities of the exiled royal party are detailed.
Developing
and
expanding the base of spices and commodity trade between Sri
Lanka and Batavia has been his direct responsibility.
Entrustment of these duties to him by the Dutch rulers
highlights the capacity and the respect given to the royal
party.
The
book goes further to expand the role of the forefathers of the
author and their contribution to many aspects of commerce and
life in the wider community in Sri Lanka. Much emphasis has
been confined in his research of the Prince Amankoeratte the 3rd of whom he
asserts that his great grandfather has been a descendant.
In
trying to establish the genealogy of the Javanese (now termed
Malays) in Sri Lanka to their ancestors he has not only
obtained information from archival records but has also
visited many Malays in obtaining valuable data which had been
passed down to them by their great grandfathers.
With
the invasion of the British to Sri Lanka (Ceylon)
communication between the Dutch in Java and the exiles comes
to an abrupt end when the change of names took place to
conceal their royal identity when taking the “Oath of
Allegiance” to serve under the British when Ceylon ceded to
the British. Most of the Javanese names therefore were anglicized for easy pronunciation by
them.
With
great delight I recommend this book to all Sri Lankans who
should know the origin and the contribution made by the
Javanese a must for the discernable historians and the general
reader alike.
The
author avers that with globalization an individual will be
identified by a numeral and a name no longer relevant and
hopes that his research will be used in preserving one’s
identity.
