Placed geographically in a strategic spot in the Indian Ocean, Sri Lanka played a central role in the cultural interaction in the region. The author traces the cultural ethos of one of the main communities that shaped Sri Lankan society, Tamil speaking muslims of Arab descent who settled in Eastern Sri Lanka. Aspects of their vibrant culture, history and ethnology are traced here comprehensively. Invaluable guide to students, teachers and general reader.
