This project will survey existing archival records, commemorative publications, and historical photographs created by Sri Lanka’s Upcountry Tamils since 1948. The Upcountry (HillCountry) Tamils, are the descendants of nineteenth-century Indian laborers brought to work on the country’s British-owned tea, coffee, and rubber plantations who continue to face political disenfranchisement and state-sponsored discrimination in Sri Lanka.
