A lovely interview. Learnt a great deal. Dr Careem is simply outstanding, very articulate, brilliant historian, and a lovely human being. I have met him at the Malay Club. Unlike other youngsters of his age, he is committed to serving his country, and promoting diversity through his researches, and writings. The Malay community is immensely proud of him.

I keep saying this, you shouldn't care about these negative comments and dislikes. You are doing a great service to Sri Lanka, by promoting religious and ethnic harmony, by raising awareness on various communities in our nation.

All what he expounded on is true!. Some uneducated idiots have made derogatory comments about his background and knowledge.."Errare humanum est ignoscere divina" is what I tell them and advise Dr. Careem to ignore these negative comments. Continue to do what your doing Dr. Careem. I applaud your efforts and enjoy your discourse on our fascinating history. God bless you . Prof John Balachandra California, USA

I saw Dr Careem's programme on the Malays of Sri Lanka about three weeks ago, and now I've seen this. Quite fascinating, and I think these programmes have been brilliantly produced. I'm now wondering what other programmes will follow from here. Last year I read his article on the Afghans of Sri Lanka, but there are the books that Dr Careem has written, and there is another comment in which it transpires that Ms Agnes Thambynayagam has also written a book ten years ago. All of this has come as a pleasant surprise to me, and it is good that we are stimulated into re-thinking about our past.

I am sorry to say this but the interviewer seems inept. He keeps asking questions for which the answers had already been given. He seems to be following a script without listening to the answers. This is a pattern in all his interviews with the professor in this series. The series itself is extremely informative thanks to the professor’s obviously profound knowledge of the subject matter. Unfortunately the interviewer keeps muddying the water at every turn making the professor repeat himself unnecessarily to clarify the interviewer’s lack of attention.

Kudos to News First for hosting this brilliant series. Dr Careem is awesome but should speak a bit slower so we can get all the wealth of information into our heads 😊 the host must listen to Dr Careem instead of asking random unrelated questions in the middle of a very interesting comment and completely disrupting the trend of thought which I find most irritating . He obviously has a set of prepared questions and butts in with them in a very annoying manner . It is indeed heartening to know we still have people of the caliber of Dr Careem who continue to remain here!

Dr Careem you are very knowledgeable, but I do wish you could speak slower - I think you wanted to get your views across as soon as possible and this made you speak fast - as most of us Sri Lankans do :)

Great interview, very informative and Dr Careem is a fount of knowledge. I love his accent, he has a typical Pashtu-fluent-English speaker accent with a British undertone, and he is very eloquent, and I don't understand why do people want him to speak slow. He is someone of Afghan, North Indian and Indonesian ancestry, and the languages in the region are spoken fast, hence i guess, is the reason why some people find it difficult to comprehend.

When talking about famous Burghers of Sri Lanka "Mr.Carl Muller, a son of a CGR engine driver is the author of "The Jam Fruit Tree", "Yakada Yaka" and "Once Upon a Tender Time". These books, published by Penguin are a trilogy of a railway family of the Burgher community (Ceylonese of European descent, of which the CGR employed hundreds in years gone by) that are hilarious and a mixture of fiction and fact which the author aptly calls "faction". An insight into our railway life from the 1930s to the 50s can be delightfully experienced by reading these classics which form a masterpiece. have to be mentioned". Taken from an article By Vinodh Wickremeratne and Kanishka D. Perera Titled The Railways of Sri Lanka (Ceylon).

Some managed to escape their captors it is said and that is how they came to be in then Ceylon. Wondering if Dr. Careem could shed some light on the veracity of this information.

Can I clarify the term Marranos. If you search websites in Portugal you find Marranos means Pigs in Portuguese. It was used to call the Shepardic Jews that had been brought to work in different jobs by the Romans. If they didn't convert to Catholicism they were called this insulting term. These Jewish Portuguese moved to Brazil, Eastern America, England and Goa. Eventually, travelling to Sri Lanka escaping the Inquisition in Goa. Their history must not be confused with the nuevos Christianos who were converted Hebrews to Catholicism.

Listening to your interview with Dr. Zameer Caree, I immediately noticed the crazy story that in Sri Lanka existing two communities of Africans (Kaffir) who still speak the Portuguese language one is located in Puttalam and the other is from China Bay (Tricomalee) and descended from the Portuguese era of Sri Lanka, an incredible story completely made up and not supported by any evidence. In fact, the two African communities in question are Portuguese-speaking because they come from the Portuguese Colony of Mozambique, hired as workers by the British Authorities and arrived in Ceylon with a regular contract and with their wives and children.around 1940 Instead of shooting historical follies, do some real research on the subject? It's just a true ridiculous narrative - Best Regard Piero Perondi

Not supported by any evidence ? There is plenty of information on these African origin people of Sri Lanka on google & on KZbin. Nothing to suggest what was said on this video was made up. Nowhere have I seen it mentioned that they only arrived in1940. Why would the British bring workers from a far away Portuguese colony to Ceylon, when they had already brought in up to a million Indian labourers to do the jobs that the locals were not prepared to do ?

Why do you call the language Portuguese creole. Dr.

Because it's not the grammatically correct standard Portuguese used in Portugal or Brazil now. It's a dialect mixed with old Portuguese used 400 years ago, local languages, and loanwords from Dutch and English. Portuguese presence in the coastal provinces of Sri Lanka lasted from 1505 to 1658, until they surrendered to the Dutch.

Portuguese "pao" is pronounced as "paan", not as "paa-o"

true, we write pão, the tilde gives a nasal sound so we would spell it like "paan"
