Karava

The Karava Flag

This page collates and presents an extensive list of material gathered about the Karava caste, as we pursued the elusive past of our ancestors. The De Fonseka families were part of the Karava caste, and the information garnered from these sources gives us a holistic understanding of the past, and to the possible paths, the ancestors may have taken.

The material reproduced here reflect the views of the original authors and is reproduced as-is.  They have been extracted from old books, caste pamphlets and newspaper articles published many decades ago, and the relevant publications and authors, have been mentioned where known.
