トリンコマリー地区
トリンコマリー地区はスリランカの 25 地区の 1 つで、国の第 2 レベルの行政区画です。この地区は、スリランカ中央政府によって任命された地区書記官(以前は政府代理人として知られていた)が長を務める地区事務局によって管理されています。この地区の首都はトリンコマリー市です。
この地区の人口は、東部および北部の他の地域と同様、内戦の影響を大きく受けている。この戦争では推定10万人が死亡した。戦争中に数十万人、おそらくは100万人に上るスリランカのタミル人が西側に移住した。多くのスリランカのタミル人も比較的安全な首都コロンボに移住しました。また、この戦争により、この地区に住んでいたあらゆる民族や宗教グループの多くの人々がスリランカの他の地域に避難しましたが、そのほとんどは内戦終結以来この地区に戻ってきました。
トリンコマリーの記録に残る歴史は 2500 年以上にわたり、前近代のコネスワラム寺院に関連した民間人の入植に始まります。アジアで最も古い都市の 1 つであるこの島は、東南アジアとの国際貿易の歴史において主要な海港としての役割を果たしてきました。アガスティアによって設立されたシッダール・タミル医科大学「アガティヤル・タパナム」では、郊外のカンクヴェリ村からアジアで最も初期の医学研究が行われ、タミル・タムラパルニヤ文化を大陸中に広めるのに貢献した。古代世界では、ヴァンニ国の東の諸王国の首都であり、アヌラーダプラ王国、パッラヴァ王朝、チョーラ王朝、パンディアン王朝、ヴァンニマイ族の族長、そしてコネスワラム神社の収入を通じてジャフナ王国のもとで発展しました。
トリンコマリーの都市化は、ポルトガルによるジャフナ王国の征服後、要塞化された港町として整備され、1620 年にデンマーク、オランダ、アメリカ独立戦争の戦い後のフランス、そして 1795 年にイギリスとの間で手を変え、イギリスに吸収されました。 1815 年のイギリス領セイロン州。この都市の建築は、ネイティブ スタイルとヨーロッパのスタイルの相互作用の最良の例のいくつかを示しています。 1942年の第二次世界大戦中のインド洋奇襲の一環として日本軍の攻撃を受けたこの都市と地区は、1948年にスリランカが独立を獲得した後、タミル人とシンハラ人の政治的関係が悪化して内戦が勃発し、被害を受けた。トリンコマリー駐屯地には主要な海軍および空軍基地があります。この都市には島内最大のオランダ要塞もあります。
