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)
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.
