A special report submitted to the Parliament of Sri Lanka by Prof. Channa
Jayasumana Member of Parliament 6th December 2023


FOREWORD


In the labyrinth of time, where echoes of the past reverberate through the
corridors of history, the quest for understanding and unraveling the cultural
tapestry of Northern Sri Lanka becomes an exhilarating intellectual journey.
There are many precise historical records in the Sinhalese chronicle on Buddhist
heritage in the northern part of Sri Lanka. Further, dozens of Sinhalese and
Tamil scholars have published a significant number of papers, books on the same
during the 20th century.

However, people with chauvinistic ideologies neglect those findings, especially
those made by Sinhalese scholars, simply due to their political and financial
gains. The mythical history of the Northern and Eastern provinces of Sri Lanka,
created by several racists, laid the foundation for 30 years of internal armed
conflict.

“Buddhist Heritage in northern Sri Lanka: As Per Evidence by European Writers”
embarks upon this expedition, weaving together the threads of European
observations and reflections on the profound Buddhist legacy that has graced the
northern realms of this enchanting island. The majority of those writers served
in the Ceylon civil service. They explored the heritage of Ceylon as part of
their job.

In this report, I confined the writing of authors of European origin not to
undermine the academic contribution of local scholars but to stress that even
Europeans who rule the island with their agenda couldn’t neglect the Buddhist
heritage in Northern Sri Lanka. This report serves as a testament to the rich
Buddhist heritage that once flourished in the northern regions, as chronicled by
European observers. It delves into the meticulous notes, travelogues, and
musings penned by these astute witnesses who, with a sense of wonder and
admiration, captured the essence of the Buddhist traditions embedded in the
cultural fabric of Northern Sri Lanka.

I hope this report will be a stimulant for the Government of Sri Lanka and
relevant authorities to take prompt actions to protect neglected national
heritage in the northern province of the country.
