Karave : ウィキペディア英語版
Karava

Karava (pronounced ''Karaava'') also Karave, Kara, Karavaa, Kaurava is a significant Sinhalese community from the Island of Sri Lanka. The Tamil equivalent is Karaiyar.
== General ==
The origins of the term Karave also Kaurava or Kurukula are still debated. The first recorded instance is the Abhayagiri vihara terrace inscription dating from the 1st century BC denoting a 'Karava navika'.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Plate No.94 | Inscriptions of Sri Lanka )〕() One school of thought maintains that the Karava are the traditional coastal folk〔(Kotte Kingdom's principal imports: A history of Sri Lanka by K. M. De Silva, p.90 )〕 citing the similarity between the terms for sea-water (Kara Diya in Sinhalese) and Tamil Karaiyar denoting 'coast men'.〔(''Vaduga:'' Sri Lanka and the Maldive Islands, By Chandra Richard De Silva, p.111 & 137 )〕 Another contends that it was the traditional military or warrior caste of Sri Lanka. Although no specific mention of such a caste is extant in pre-colonial literature, there is mention of Kshatriya, foreign warriors and mercenaries throughout history.〔(Pre-Christian era coins depict the ruling dynastic fish symbol of the Kataragama Ksatriya kings )〕〔(Other royal emblems/coins from 250BC (depicting Bo tree, fish, conch) & king MUTU-SIVA )〕〔(THE ROYAL EMBLEM OF ANCIENT SINHALA KINGS (king Sadhathissa & queen Viharamahadevi) )〕〔(King Bhatiyatissa: The Chieftains of Ceylon, J. C. Van Sanden, p.32 )〕〔(The descendants of king Bhatiyatissa )〕〔Kurukulattaraiya, ''the prince with the golden anklet'': Epigraphica Indica – Vol. 21, part 5, No.38, p.220-50〕〔(Prince Kurukulattaraiya, Vijayabahu the Great's commander: The Karava of Ceylon, M.D.Raghavan, p.9-10 )〕〔(SINHALESE NAVAL POWER, C. W. Nicholas (1958) )〕〔(Some warriors of the past )〕 A third opinion is that it stems from the Kauravas of Indian Folklore, which is also the commomon origin theory of the coastal Kavara and Gavara folk of Andhra Pradesh. The 'Vesmuhunu' (mask),〔(A collection of traditional masks )〕 Devil Dance/Sanni Yakuma (exorcism)〔(Exorcism rituals of the South coast )〕 and Kolam tradition (masked drama/comedy) of the southern coast, while indicating a strong indigenous and a unique tradition, also indicate some affinity with the Karavali of Kerala and Karnataka and Topeng of South-East Asia〔(Lankan influences on 'Bhuta kola' tradition, under heading: 'Not native to Tulu..' )〕(). Also, an ancient north Indian ship owning and navigating caste was known as Kharva〔(Essays In Goan History edited by Teotónio R. de Souza, p.4&5 )〕 The Mahabarta epic recognized the coastal districts as a distinct community with their chiefs who took part in the epic war (Mahabharata, Book 3, Chapter 51. Karava communities are scattered throughout Sri Lanka including the interior but are predominantly resident on the southern, western and northern coastal districts of Sri Lanka.
Karava myth as well as historical manuscripts such as the Mukkara Hatana,〔(Descendants of the Mukara-Hatana (& the Nadagam tradition of the north-west coast) )〕 and royal grants indicate that there was also several migrations from ''Kuru Mandalam'' Coromandal coast of South India.〔 The Aluth (new) and Parana (old) Kuru korales (provinces) denote such cultural acknowledgement and royal patronage. Related communities in India are found north of Tanjore in Tamil Nadu well into the Andhra Pradesh coastal areas. Many Karava communities throughout Sri Lanka claim an ultimate origin from the Kuru (kingdom) and the epic Kauravas of the Mahabharata. In modern Sri Lanka, occupationally its members include the foremost professionals, capitalists and politicians of Sri Lanka as well as large numbers of wage earners, carpenters, fishermen and farmers. The Karavas came into contact with the (Portuguese, Dutch and English) colonial powers before the rural interiors and assimilated (through choice or force) with regards to education, dress, religion and customs and exploited the new opportunities in commercial enterprise earlier than other communities. The Karavas were the most successful at this as all communities strove to modernize and still do.〔Sri Lankan Mudaliyars〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Sri Lankan Sinhalese Family Gene )〕 An often overlooked fact is that it was primarily the coastal population that lost part of their ancient culture and heritage whilst gaining what is new.〔(Bolawalana church, Historical Background ); ''Bolawalana is mentioned in verse 175 of Kokila Sandeshaya written in 1440 – 1446 CE., originally a Pattini Devalaya''〕〔(''The destruction of the most luxurious and popular Temple complex at Devinuwara in 1587'' ) - The Buddhist Visnu: Religious Transformation, Politics, and Culture By John C.
