From Slave to King: The Role of South Asians in Maritime Southeast Asia (from the late 13th to the late 17th century)
Introduction
Maritime travel and migration from South Asia, in which I include here present India, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka and the Maldives, toward maritime Southeast Asia in which I include present Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore, Brunei and Timor-Leste, occurred for at least the last two millennia. 1 Two topics, namely indianization and trade, have dominated its historiography regarding the period before the 19th century. The aim of this study is to look at this phenomenon from a different angle, which is the place of South Asian people not at all or at least not mainly involved in trade in the various societies of the region. My time-scale starts at the end of the 13th century, a choice made not only because of the occurrence of important events for our subject, such as the emergence of the Sultanate of Pasai and the kingdom of Majapahit, as well as the breaking-up of the Chola kingdom, but also because more data become available. The end of the 17th century I stop at, saw notably the expansion of the authority of the VOC and the fall of the kingdoms of Bijapur and Golconda. Moreover, tendencies converged at that time to confirm the ov

Muslims and ethnic identity in Sri Lanka
1Sri Lankan Muslims are the second largest Tamil-speaking ethnic minority in Sri Lanka, comprising approximately 8 % of the population. They are also the second largest resident ethnic group in the Tamil speaking and formerly disputed regions of the North and East, the warzone for the 25-year-old civil war which ended abruptly and bloodily in 2009. Sri Lankan Muslim lives have been inextricably caught up in the civil war, even as their perspectives and location within the larger issues surrounding ethnic conflict, war, and reconciliation, have been politically and academically neglected. This work of this essay is to elaborate and make clear these three statements and their compelling nature for contemporary Sri Lankan Muslim identities.

For Sri Lankan Muslims, emphasizing difference is precisely seen as a progressive argument that allows the rights of all minorities in Sri Lank
