The Ceylonese Afghans trace their ancestry to the regions of modern day Afghanistan and Central Asia. The community is part of the larger Pashtun ethnic group making up a significant population in<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">modern day Pakistan and Afghanistan. Also known as Pathans, the Ceylonese Afghans were recorded in Ceylon\u2019s first census in British Ceylon. Known as Kabul Manushiyan and Afghan Manushiyan in Ceylonese and Moor Tamil, Afghan Karayo in Sinhalese, Orang Bengali in Sri Lankan Malay indicates that their presence was known to all communities.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">Ceylon Afghans arrived as horse breeders and keepers, labourers, elephant keepers, and mercenaries from as early at the 1st century. However, they continued to immigrate to Ceylon throughout its history.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">As Sunni Muslims, Ceylonese Afghans have contributed to the erection of mosques including the iconic Red<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">Mosque on Castle Hill Street in Colombo. A little known fact is that many of Sri Lanka\u2019s railroads were also constructed using Ceylonese Afghan labour. Transport across old Ceylon was a domain within which they featured prominently as coachmen connecting various communities.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">Afghans also played an important role in Australia with many significant communities being established through the skilful camel caravans of Afghan Cameleers. One such Cameleer and national Australian icon is Gool Mahomet, a fascinating character who worked in Central Australia and established the Adelaide Mosque. Gool Mahomet began his career as a cameleer in Ceylon before migrating to Australia in the late 18th century. Gool Mahomet\u2019s story is reflective of the modern story of many migrants. Our ancestors converged from around the world onto the paradisiacal islands of Ceylon, before lamentably leaving once more to seek security in another country.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">Severely affected by post-independence nationalism, many Ceylonese Afghans were deported from Ceylon as they were deemed noncitizens despite living on the islands for centuries. The Citizenship and Repatriation Act deemed individuals unable to prove their father\u2019s birth in Ceylon or their status as third generation descendants to be ineligible for citizenship. At a time during which birth registration was uncommon, this led to the mass deportation of Afghans along with many other communities from Sri Lanka. Ceylonese Afghans continue to contribute in the present. A prominent Ceylonese Afghan is Kareem Zameer, a medical and political historian and presenter of \u201cLost and Forgotten\u201d. Kareem has been significantly involved in documenting the history and diversity of ethnic groups in Sri Lanka and has authored several books on the subject including \u201cAfghans of Sri Lanka, an Untold Story\u201d.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">Let\u2019s end with a beautiful quote from Kareem Zameer himself:<em> \u201cNevertheless, we haven\u2019t forgotten our roots; we still love our Kabuli Palao, kebabs, mantus, yoghurt, almonds, dried fruits, nuts, Bonjan, Masteh, etc. and our Pashto mores have survived to this day. Just like our Afghan brethren, we too believe in sainthood and Sufism. Despite the checkered history, I am very proud of my Afghan, Indian and Malay roots, but I am through and through Sri Lankan\u201d.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px;\"><strong><img loading=\"lazy\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-72921 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/websitedesigns.com.au\/elankanew\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Randika-Jayakody-and-Jerome-Perera-1.jpg\" alt=\"Randika Jayakody and Jerome Perera\" width=\"116\" height=\"71\" \/>Randika Jayakody &amp; Jerome Perera<\/strong><\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 16px;\"><em>Among Randika and Jerome\u2019s many interests is<\/em><\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 16px;\"><em>a deep passion to understand Sri Lankan history and culture.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Afghans of Sri Lanka &#8211; By Randika Jayakody &amp; Jerome Perera Source :\u00a0Brisbane Sri Lankan Newsletter \u2013 D\u00e6h\u00e6na \u2013 September 2022 Sri Lanka and Afghanistan share a deep history and connection through a little known ethnic group called the Ceylonese Afghans.
