Orang Rejimen The Malays of the Ceylon Rifle Regiment by B.A. Hussainmiya

Who are the Sri Lankan Malays? Where did they come from? How and why did they persist in maintaining their communal identity? These book sets out for the first time to throw light on their history and provide a pleasantly readable account of their origins and evolution on the island of Sri lanka. More specifically, the book highlights the induction of the Malays into the first regimental military service and the consequent developments which shaped their own outlook on life, attitudes and cultural ethos.
