In 1796, the Dutch East India Company handed over control of Sri Lanka's pearl banks along the Gulf of Mannar to a private speculator. What followed was a brutal crackdown on Tamil and Muslim pearl divers that left hundreds dead. This episode examines the Mannar Massacre of 1797, a largely forgotten atrocity driven by colonial greed, racial hierarchy, and the VOC's failing monopoly. Lucas and Luna trace the pearl trade from ancient Anuradhapura through Portuguese and Dutch rule, then focus on the disaster that unfolded when Commissioner Johan van Angelbeek allowed a ruthless entrepreneur named Jacob Burnand to run the fisheries. Through the voices of Dutch officials and Tamil survivors recorded in the Colombo archives, the episode asks: why do some colonial crimes vanish from memory while others endure? #MannarMassacre #PearlFisheries #VOC #DutchCeylon #JacobBurnand #JohanVanAngelbeek #GulfOfMannar #TamilDivers #PearlDiving #SriLankaHistory #ColonialAtrocity #18thCentury #SouthAsia #CeylonPearls #Mannar #History #FexingoHistory #ForgottenHistory Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
