T Malli – He heard his last whistle – By Capt Elmo Jayawardena “Theresius (T Malli) Silva” I first met T Malli in the basketball court of St Sebastian’s College. I was the coach yet did not know how to tell him politely that he had no business playing basketball, being height challenged as he was. But then, he was T Malli, a determined man who bucked the odds all his life, won some, lost some but had the courage to get on with his life, undaunted. He was mostly a bencher in the team, hardly getting on to the tarmac. But he was always there, the perfect teammate, to cheer, to give water and occasionally play too as a worrisome guard. The team won the All-Island Schools Basketball Championship and T Malli stood on the victory platform. They were then chosen to play in a tournament in India and ...

The forgotten history of slavery in Sri Lanka – by Tamara Fernando Jesus – College Cambridge 5 September, 2021 Source: sundayobserver The names Vijayabhahu, Dutugamunu and S.W.R.D. Bandaranaike are likely more familiar to the student of Sri Lankan history than Kedoe, Selestina and Cander Wayreven. Who were these three, and why are their life histories not better known? For one thing, all of them were slaves. The 23-year-old Kedoe was brutally executed for the murder of a Dutch official named Barent van der Swann and his wife in 1723 (as punishment, Kedoe was quartered and drawn up outside the walls of the Pettah), Selestina was tried in court for killing her new-born baby (the child may have resulted from rape by her master) in Colombo in 1820 and Wayreven was flogged eighteen lashes for travelling in the palanquin of his owner in Jaffna in 1819. In the early 19th century, ...
