A book titled ‘The Community’ and penned by Mevan Pieris will be launched on March 21, 2023 at the Sri Lanka Foundation Institute at 6 pm.
Prof. G.L Peiris is expected to grace the occasion as the Chief Guest while S. Skandakumar and S.Thomas’ College Mount Lavinia Warden Marc Billimoria will be the Guests of Honour.
The book is a historical account of the Mudaliyar class Goyigama Family Combine, which several previous writers have written to say were a powerful Community that wielded much power and influence during Dutch and British times. The book traces its evolution from Portuguese times and covers a period of 500 years. ‘The Community’ comprises 580 pages and carries 159 photographs in colour and black and white. The thrust of the book is to bring to light who the Master Spirits of the Community were and the enormous contribution to the good of society done by the Community.
