Sri Lanka Muslim Genealogy
Kariapper Family Genealogy Database files
The Kariapper family of the Eastern Province of Sri Lanka consists
of three main factions/groups as follows:
1.
Karaivahu 1 Thambi Neintha Kariapper (Family #211)
2.
Karaivahu 2 Ibralebbe Kariapper (Family #203)
3.
Kotabowa AhamaduLebbe
Kariapper (Family #219)
It is not known how the name Kariapper came to be and whether
Thambi Neintha Kariapper or Ibralebbe Kariapper had any blood relationship. It
seems that it is a title describing a post. The name was not supposed to be
carried on as a surname or a family name.
It was only AhamaduLebbe Kariapper (#219) of Kotabowa,
Wellassa (now Monoragala), who married the daughter of Ibralebbe Kariapper of
Kalmunaikudy, who first started the tradition of using the name
"Kariapper" as his family name (to be inherited from father) and
started the Kariapper Dynasty. However, certain male individuals in Thambi
Neintha Kariapper family (#211) have also chosen to adopt Kariapper (shown with
an "*" here to draw attention) as their family name. In addition
there have been many inter marriages between these three families, thus
enabling the free use of the “Kariapper” family name across many of the
descendants.

The Late Gate Mudliyar M.S. Kariapper:
Visionary who lived ahead of his time
A.L. Abdul Azeez
- DN Fri Mar 13 2009
In 1989, writing in a daily newspaper, I recalled my last
conversation with the late Gate Mudliyar M.S. Kariapper. Looking in my eyes,
the ailing Gate Mudliyar studiously asked me “Are you studying well?” He knew
then that I was reading for law. It was on the day he was rushed to a private
hospital in Colombo where he breathed his last.
|
|
In the twenty years that ensued, I have gone from being a student
of law to a student of international relations. Yet, as the late Gate Mudliyar
would often remark, “I am still a student”.
The late Kariapper was an internationalist, who lived ahead of his
time and who encouraged the youth to look beyond what seemed immediate into the
world at large. He told me once that he was living close to the beach because
he ‘liked to look beyond the horizon’.
An epitome
In my many encounters with the late Kariapper, I found to my
youthful amazement, that he was a man of many parts; an epitome of a mix of
ingenuity and elegance. As I digested over the years some of what he shared
with me in my youth days, my appreciation of him grew ever deeper, inculcating
in me an unshakable belief that he had a thorough understanding of the world’s
history, a comprehensive grasp of contemporary thoughts from philosophy to
politics, and a deeper knowledge of linguistics and literature and of
civilisations and cultures.
This is aside from his expertise in the subject of tropical
farming and agro-economics which he was familiar with as a civil administrator,
especially during the war times. And add to it the gift of the gab and the fun
of the pun he commanded. From all this flowed his innate, immaculate ability to
narrate anecdotes and accounts of history, often interspersed them. In his
conception, such empowerment at local level would have its reflection on the
strength of national unity and cohesion aside from engendering wealth and
prosperity in the long run.
Concern
He had a manifest concern for the protection of the environment.
His training in the discipline of tropical agriculture had transformed his
thinking and perspective towards the environment. A document published in 1936 has
acknowledged in particular that the late Kariapper was elected in the year 1923
“in recognition of the keen interest he took in the game protection”, an honourary member of the Ceylon Game and Fauna Protection
Society.
“He is today one of the four honourary members which the Society
has, including D.S. Senanayake, Minister of Agriculture and Land”.
It was no surprise therefore that the late Kariapper had an
intrinsic belief that no development would be sustainable unless it was
underpinned by an inclusive process integrating all relevant factors and
concerns. As Sri Lanka broke free from colonial bondage, bolstered by his new
found influence and authority in the post-independent establishment, Gate
Mudliyar gave expression to this belief by helping in launching of an
integrated system of development, which had at its heart, the development of
the Gal Oya reservoir.
Many appear to view the Gal Oya project as an irrigation scheme,
intended primarily to benefit the peasantry. There was no denial for that.
For the late Kariapper however, the entire enterprise represented
an innovative, inclusive, coordinated effort going beyond unlocking the
region’s irrigation potential alone.
Grand scheme
He emphasised as much on launching adequate ecologically synchronised
activities as on undertaking such as grand scheme. Such an approach, in his
view, would bring a sense of balance to the whole enterprise thus making it
overall environment-friendly. His whole approach to agricultural productivity,
sustainable livelihood, town planning and development, and human settlement was
deeply grounded on this holistic vision.
In one of my encounters in the 1980s, the late Kariapper brought
home to me an important point which struck me most. That was about the impact
of accelerated urbanisation in Kalmunai, a town and a commercial hub, which the
late Kariapper himself helped to develop at an early stage. Gate Mudliyar
lamented then that the people of that region had failed to tap the potential of
human settlement that proceeded with the development of Gal Oya. By refusing to
move out of that overcrowded town and its surrounding areas, the people, as he
put it to me, had only denied their next generation a space for decent living,
with serious health consequences in time to come.
Compact unit
He deeply felt that the increasing tendency among the people to
seek to live as a compact unit in a tight place would in the course of time put
a tremendous pressure on the limited infrastructure and services to cater to
the needs of a vertically growing community. His main worry was that if the
development of this region were to continue at this pace, the day would not be
far off when it would be bursting at its seams.
In a country that had emerged from the yoke of colonialism - in
what is known in International Law as the realisation of the right to
self-determination development was rather seen as a process of both
consolidating that right as well as giving meaning and content to it. Having
served as Vanniyar Mudliyar under the colonial administration in the region,
Gate Mudliyar had acquired a fund of knowledge and experience in addition to a
vast network of high level contacts. As much as he wanted to put this to use
for the people and the region, so was there a greater call to public service
awaiting him from ‘Ceylon’s’ independence leaders.
Great admirer
The late D.S. Senanayake, the Father of Independent Ceylon, was
understandably his great admirer. Further as far back as 1948, ‘politics’ was
recognised perhaps as a higher means of public service, something the late
Kariapper would not have relented. His advent to politics in 1948 therefore was
logical, and was intended to help harness that fund to expanding the choice of
the people as development is currently understood in socio-economic discourses.
As his political trajectory bears out, the late Kariapper
acquitted himself admirably in this task to his last day in the legislature,
through his dedication to causes ranging from the development of the Gal-Oya
Multi-purpose Reservoir Scheme, to building of schools with a particular
emphasis on the education of Muslim girls, and to the development of Kalmunai
region.
‘Development’
The late Kariapper’s vision of ‘development’ was both exemplary
and inspiring. He was ahead of the curve when it came to the understanding of
the concept of development. With his experience in, and exposure to, the
development of agriculture and land as well as development of irrigation and
human settlement, and thanks especially to his grasp of contemporary trends and
thoughts, his vision of development had emphasis on sustainability and
participatory approaches. It put premium on the involvement of the local
communities in activities that were intended to empower.
My recent visit to my birthplace made me realise Gate Mudliyar’s
prediction was already coming true. With our belief in the symbolism of
physical wealth, that manifests itself in the construction of huge buildings
and complexes without taking into account environmental concerns, and with
virtually no leadership in sustainable town planning and management, the space
for natural living has shrunk to a point where not just the health of the
people but their thinking and values as well are being affected. The tsunami
tidal waves which took a heavy toll of life in the region on December 26, 2004 is only a case in point in this regard.
An internationalist
He was a multifaceted personage, who was a leader, an
environmentalist, a development practitioner, and above all, an
internationalist. He gave of his best in the service of the nation, the region
and its people. He had articulated concepts and thoughts on wide-ranging themes
from sustainable development, to human settlement, to environment protection
long before they became part of the international discourses. Releasing of a
commemorative stamp by the Government of Sri Lanka in honour of Gate Mudliyar
is a fitting tribute to this great visionary and legend. However, we need to do
more.
When, in future, some academic research is undertaken by a
discerning intellectual, it will bring out such aspects of his life that lie
beyond our ordinary grasp; aspects that, in my view, made up the sum total of
Gate Mudliyar.
President Emeritus of the Sri Lanka
Muslim Women's Conference and an educator par - excellence Deshabandu Jezima
Ismail
Grace, humility and strength are the hallmark qualities of our
HI!! Legend this month, Deshabandu Jezima Ismail. The President
Emeritus of the Sri Lanka Muslim Women's Conference and an educator
par-excellence, she embodies women's empowerment while being firmly rooted in
her religion and culture. One could write volumes about her achievements, the
boundaries she has crossed or the obstacles she has overcome yet it is Jezima;
the mother, the friend and the amazing human being that is worth knowing.
The youngest daughter in a family of three Jezima grew up in
Saindaramathu, a remote village 20 miles off Ampara. Her father, Mohamed Thamby
Sahid Ahmed was a civil engineer by profession, and her mother Farlina nee
Kariapper, a homemaker, molded their three girls to be traditional Muslim women
who did not allow their culture and gender limit their possibilities and
prospects in life.
Sahid was the first in the Muslim Community to obtain both a BSc
and MSc degree and chose early on to nurture the four women in his life by
teaching them the deep truths in the Quran while allowing them to shape their
lives through traditional education. "My father said he wanted us to be
brought up as Muslims. He only allowed for the recitation of the Quran to be
done by the Maulavi. Because he felt that Islam was taught in just parrot
fashion. However he said that there was far more spirituality in Islam and that
he could teach us that spirituality," Jezima says. Meanwhile he encouraged
his girls to study hard and realize their potential in whichever area they
chose.
Farlina,
in certain ways, was a foretelling of the empowered strong women her daughters
would become; a traditional Muslim who didn't allow her ethnic identity to
limit her. "My mother was a very adventurous woman; she was the polling
agent for her brother, conducting the polling exercises, the voting and
organizing but a very traditional, conventional Muslim woman she went along
with what my father said," Jezima recalls.
Jezima draws on her upbringing to shape her view for an integrated
society. "My father would come home from work and take up one proverb; his
favourite one was 'unity is strength'. Therefore when all three of us girls got
married he built a house for all of us to live in and it was his belief that
living together would strengthen our relationship,” Jezima says.
She draws on this unity and communal living for the integration
and peace of Sri Lanka ; "Personally for our
country I feel we have this temporary peace, we have won our military war but
how do we get permanent peace? It is more than constitutional reforms or legal
structures, it is much much more; it's a question of relationships and
attitude. It is important that we building up relationships and not distance
ourselves. Physical proximity and communication proximity are the keys to
peace." In opening up his daughters' avenues of education, Jezima's father
enrolled them at St. Bridgets Convent. She recalls the accepting hen people
started calling me for these fashion shows, dramas and things I saw myself as
this fairytale character."
Jezima says her various talents led her to strive for higher
goals, which at that time were unattainable for conservative women. "I
wanted to go into Foreign Service but then they didn't have women. "I used to dance, sing and be in dramas. I wanted to
be a broadcaster and a journalist."
However her father thought she would be better suited for a career
in teaching, thus laying the foundation for the emergence of one of Sri Lanka 's foremost female educators. "My father knew the
then Principal Devi Balika Wimala De Silva, she
literally thrust me into teaching. But my first week I was miserable; I was a
person who wanted to do other things."
Eventually Jezima fell in love with the profession she had earlier
given little consideration to; "after my first week I loved it. The
children were like little lotus buds opening out for the warmth of the sun.
Suddenly you are talking about Wordsworth or Julius Caesar, they don't
understand at the beginning and then they understand and that face
shines."
Jezima began her trailblazing academic career teaching her
students in various unconventional ways; taking them out side or bringing them
home, "The Principal gave me a free hand but she new I would do my work
whether it was history, government or English was my forte."
During her time at Devi Balika Jezima was responsible for building
up the extra-curricular activities of the school and establishing Devi Balika
as one of the forces to be reckoned with in every area. "I was involved in
all the extra-curricular activities drama, debating, girl guides, singing and
oratory and the children excelled in these areas. It was not just me but six of
us and after my 19 years they became the best in these areas," Jezima
said.
The
Principal at the time, legendary educator Dr. (Mrs) Wimala De Silva wrote of
her association with Jezima in her autobiography describing her as "the
one who took after me."
Jezima then ventured back into her community to make changes that
would inspire women from her community for decades, by taking up a position as
the Principal of Muslim Ladies. Nevertheless her enterprising ways weren't
accepted with open arms. "I had many challenges because I began having TV
programmes, sports days, even fashion parades and dramas. The challenges were
from the conservative side of the community, not the parents. Criticism went as
far as the mosque and there was an entire newspaper published to criticize
me," she explained.
She was steadfast in her devotion to the Children and opening up
new paths for them. "I said no I would go on as I am to meet the
challenges; I want my children to be as blessed as I am. I am a Muslim woman
born in a village but because of my parents and how they brought me up I was
able to be am empowered woman. And I want my girls to be empowered not just in
the academic field but in other areas as well.
I was interested in the academic field but I was also interested
in that 80 percent that would not enter into university. Quite a number of my
children were from Slave Island fairly poor and I wanted to look into their
well being. I was there for 13 years and when I left I
had a programme called growing years a beautiful programme of music and dance
about how Muslim ladies grew to empowerment.”
Her
dedication to the arts was such that even during her pregnancies she would
ensure the show went on. "I remember once I was onstage one Saturday
directing Cinderella and then the baby was born that Sunday". Her
dedication to her family and school children was always on the same platform;
"I loved the children just as much as I loved my own children and I would
never deprive one of my school children an educational opportunity that my
children had."
Jezima had three children with, very literally, the love of her
life, Prof. Mahroof Ismail. The two met at the ages of 5 and 9, "of course
at this time he thought I was a nuisance. But by the time we were about 14 and
19 we knew. Then when at 18 I went to University and he went to Medical College
we played sports together, by this time my parents and his parents were behind
the move. Also my sister married his brother so that was another
connection."
The connection that Jezima and Mahroof share is one that we all
hope to have after years of marriage, the fairly tale with a happily ever
after. "He is my best friend and I know when I go home the car is there
and that we can have a lovely conversation. We are both busy, he was Dean of
the Medical Faculty of Colombo and Professor emeritus," Jezima says. She
says of him "my husband is one of my greatest supports because to him
women are the first rung of a ladder and men are the second". Jezima has
great respect for her three children Jehaan, Naushaad and Naadia and enjoys
spending time with her six grandchildren.
Despite her long list of awards, positions of recognition and
elite educational background Jezima are the embodiment of humility. She
received her BA from the University of Ceylon , an MA
in Education from McGill University and a Diploma from the University of Sydney
. At present she is a member of the UN national Advisory Group, advisory
committee of the Ministry of Human Rights and Disaster Management, member of
the Commission for the New Education Act from 5th July 2007 and a member of the
Committee of Eminent Persons top provide Recommendations on School systems
Restructuring and Admission of Children to grade one.
She was
formerly on the Presidential Commission of inquiry to investigate and inquire
into alleged serious violation of human rights, the former Chancellor of the
South Eastern University, former member of the National Committee on Women and
the Former President and Founder Sri Lanka Association for the Advancement of
Education, founder and President of the SAARC Federation of University Women,
Founder and Chair, Academy of Adult Education for Women and the Founder and
Member of the Panel of coordinators of the Muslim Women's Research and Action
Forum. She is also a member of a number of other national bodies.
Jezima received the Presidential Award for National Service,
Deshabandu in 1989; in 2008 she won the Award for "Eminent Personality of
the year" for contribution towards Empowerment of Women from the
International Association of Lions Clubs, and award for Education- Kamban Vila
in 2005, a Presidential Award for Education in 1999, the Zonta Women of
Achievement award in education and been named an Ambassador for Peace from the
Inter-religion and International Federation of World Peace. Most recently she
received the Award for Community Development by the Ministry of Child
Development and Women's empowerment.
Of her
many awards Jezima says "There were awards but I wonder why I got these
awards because it wasn't hard work. God has given me 24 hours and I have so
much to do; it really wasn't work it was a beautiful fulfillment that I was
getting." She says her hobby is "collecting people" and that she
"lives on love'. "I love people they are the
ones that matter most in my life". Jezima's work revolves around people.
Her work with the Muslim Women's Research and Action Forum (MWRAF) empowers
women in Ampara and Batticlo with programmes which focus on livelihood
development, capacity building, political participation of women and gender
based violence and interfaith and intra faith coming together. "Our vision
is co-existence in a pluralist society."
Jezima believes that people are essentially good and that one
needs to just milk that goodness out of them, this is the essential basis for
her work. "There is so much goodness in life. The help we need is just a
stones throw away but we don't take it". She spoke of a poem, "Out of
Order" that illustrated her point; "there is this boy who wants some
popcorn and he cries and asks his mother for some. And then he finally sees
this popcorn machine full of popcorn and runs up to it; but it's broken.
So the mother begins to cry as well saying human beings are just like
that we have the goodness that other people require yet something has gone
wrong and we are incapable of dispensing that goodness."
Jezima Ismail is a legendary educator who has undoubtedly
empowered the lives of many women in Sri Lanka through her work, her speeches
and lifestyle. Yet to anyone who meets her it isn't the titles, the honors or
the extraordinary work that she has done that will stand out; it is the
individual. A human being of unimaginable humility, strength
character, wisdom and love.
