"Lanka, Ceylon, Sarandib: merely three disparate names for a single island? Perhaps.
Yet the three diverge in the historical echoes, literary cultures, maps and memories
they evoke. Names that have intersected and overlapped - in a treatise, a poem, a
document - only to go their own ways. But despite different trajectories, all three
are tied to narratives of banishment and exile. Ronit Ricci suggests that the island
served as a concrete exilic site as well as a metaphor for imagining exile across
religions, languages, space and time: Sarandib, where Adam was banished from Paradise;
Lanka, where Sita languished in captivity; and Ceylon, faraway island of exile for
Indonesian royalty under colonialism. Utilising Malay manuscripts and documents from
Sri Lanka, Javanese chronicles, and Dutch and British sources, Ricci explores histories
and imaginings of displacement related to the island through a study of the Sri Lankan
Malays and their connections to an exilic past"
