In Sri Lanka, there are three caste systems among the Sinhalese, Sri Lankan Tamils and Malaiyaha Tamils. This project titled as “Ilankaiyil Saathiyam” (Caste in Sri Lanka) attempts to document, preserve and disseminate documents related to caste among the Tamil-speaking communities in Sri Lanka. Caste-based practices observed among Sri Lankan Tamils, the way caste operates in this society, and the struggles against caste oppression have a long history in Sri Lanka. Resistance to caste-based oppression which in earlier times manifested via open agitations and non-violent and militant struggles that preceded the civil war, now continues in rather latent forms via activities such as construction of temples. Against such background, Noolaham Foundation has undertaken this project with the objective of collecting, documenting and disseminating documents related to caste among Tamil-speaking communities in Sri Lanka. It is expected that this project will be beneficial to initiatives that seek to create awareness in society against casteism, to educational and research projects that revolve around the question of caste and to anti-caste struggles.
