So eloquent and just off the cuff! A brilliant historian on some of Sri Lanka's minority lineage, culture and heritage. You are gem to us minorities Dr. Careem and I am sure you will get the international recognition you richly deserve.
This is an outstanding interview by our lovely historian Dr Zameer Careem. I dont understand why do people dislike the interview, accept the fact that many communities have rendered their services to Sri Lanka. UNITY IN DIVERSITY. Irish history is Unknown in this country, so thanks Dr Careem for educating us all.
Thank you Dr Zameer Careem for explaining the history of our roots so eloquently. My grandmother was a half Irish half Lankan woman who talked about her father an Irishman quite fondly. He continued to live and later passed away in the Island. Please continue to do more programs like this. I would be interested to learn more about the British descendants. My grandfather is an Alexander and it would be interesting to learn more about his ancestors.
Excellent, no words. As always Dr Careem is brilliant, great memory, lovely delivery, and on point. Such an exceptional talent.
Marvellous. This is an exceptionally wonderful Interview by Dr Zameer Careem, who is fantastic as always. A fount of wisdom, an eloquent speaker, he has all the points on his finger tips, and the best historian in Sri Lanka, in my opinion. This is how historians should speak, without a single piece of paper, not even a chit, this is what you identify as superb memory.
Dr Zameer Careem is super talented for an 28 year old, his upbringing has made him learn a great deal about history and communities, his grandmother seems to have trained him well. All his interviews are very informative, but in this he seems to be very glad to share the details concerning the Irish. Lovely and quick delivery, no pauses, and managed to share a lot within half an hour. Walking talking encyclopaedia.
Thank you Dr Careem. You are Great. Amazing. Brilliant. God bless you.
My Grand father also from Irish Britishman who came to SL and settled . But I am proud as a sri lankan and practice the Buddism.
I enjoy this program & I think next generation should get to know our history. Please continue this ... Lost & The Forgotten.
This gentleman has a brilliant knowledge of Sri Lanka s history and the origins of its settlement He has opened my mind to so much history of my motherland of Sri Lanka that was never taught in even the most prestigious of schools in Sri Lanka a truly brilliant mind and we should be in awe of him and his contribution to revealing the glorious history of Sri Lanka’s past
Careem's knowledge is extraordinary. Highly intellectual. His knowledge of history is amazing. Very informative. Loving the interview and very much appreciated. Thank you.
Wow. Excellent episode. I never knew that Irish played a major role in Ceylon from Trade to Government High positions to establishing education. Thanks a lot for this information.
Wonderful interview. Dr Careem is so outstanding and knowledgeable on our History.
Hats off to you, Dr Careem; Your knowledge is amesing. It is rare to see a historian of your calibre from a minority community
This is very good and we learn a lot from your talks Thanks
Wow , never knew of the Irish contribution . Thanks for revealing this. Always thought their behavior was some what similar to us. I noticed that when I visited Irelsnd.
Keep up the good work Dr Careem. If not for people like you the Lankans will not even their history.
Vanakkam/Salaam Aleykum Mwalim, Dr. Careem, I doff my hat to you. I am a professor of electrcal engineering with 38 years of experience, after my Doctorate, and I live and work in California. I am amazed at your memory and the ease with which you speak so elquently about history.
I am a history buff myself, and I applaud your contribution on the history of Sri Lanka. keep up the good work , Sir. God bless you .
Professor John Balachandra, an Old Thomian.

Unbelievable knowledge and he presents it so nicely. I prefer if you showed more pictures of those flamboyant personalities
All I know is my mum's mum was of Irish decent.. & a McCarthy...
Super programme.

I remember many Irish nuns in hospitals and catholic schools. Fantastic info. You are a wealth of info. Thank you
A great discussion.
Fascinating and brilliant.

My great-grandfather is Irish and brought the first coffee plant to then Ceylon.
Hassan s Great Profile gram e Prof Careem a Walknng talking Super Computer 👍🇱🇰👍Thanks All lesrent. A Lot 👍
Great. Keep up
In 1960s a friend of mine from Delft island , off Jaffna, has told me that during the British rule there was an Irishman named Nolan who acted as Governor of Delft. While stationed there the workload was very minimal and he had enough time to spend his time with local women that produced fair skinned children. I have seen a few of them while travelling to Delft and they were gorgeous. No one could say that they are Tamils from Delft. Unfortunately they were discriminated by the rest of the islanders owing to their mothers’ fault.
I just had my dna done by a company that tracks back 10 centuries and there was a gene dna match of person in Sri Lanka at about year 1900, and also another one hit around year 1600 in Colombia Soth America… otherwise all the rest is attributed to Ireland/Brittish Isles…..
Reading a book called “How The Irish Saved Civilisation”
by Thomas Cahill seafaring Irish evangelical monks surely left a mark on history…
Thank you for this video, most Irish do not know there own history
Dr. Careem for president of SL, I’d say!
❤
Did you or will you also cover the French? A Frenchman who came to the Court of the King of Kandy was the first de Lanerolle. The descendants are still in Sri Lanka and overseas.
The Irish actually have MIDDLE EASTERN genetic roots.
isn't good shepherd order was found by Sister Mary Euphrasia Pelletier and i've heard the origins to be from France .
Holy Family Convent Bambalapitiya had many Irish nuns.
Congratulations and thank you Dr. Zameer for another absorbing episode and charting the history of these long forgotten encounters. Your account is so perceptive and incisive, looking forward to many more episodes in future.
Sinhala land is Ceylon.
most of the Colombo roads were named after Scottish names
Is the Sir name "Helsham" an Irish sirname?
Jewish origin
If you google it … it is British of Anglo Saxon Norman invasion and has a beautiful coat of arms
Nobody uses Sri Lanka there same with Mumbai and Miramar.

Great. Keep up
I bet they came here looking for potaytees xD
What is the meaning of Ceylon,is is Sinhala land.
Sri Lanka land, not Sinhala land. Most Sri Lankans are migrants from various part of the planet. The sinhala buddhist nonsense as espoused by the racists like Ranawaka, modawansa et al
With the Portuguese colonization in the 16th century, the original local names Silam, Sihala and Sailan were adopted as Ceilão in Portuguese (from 1505), and later as Zeilan or Zeylan in Dutch, and Ceylon in English
