Dr. Prasannajit de Silva is a distinguished art historian and lecturer specializing in British visual culture of the 18th and 19th centuries, particularly within the context of the British Empire in India. The London Art History Society Professional Profile Expertise:
His early life is shaped by the dual forces of Sri Lanka’s ancient Buddhist heritage and the encroaching colonial shadow. Educated in the royal library of Kandy, he mastered Pali scriptures, Tamil poetry, and Portuguese trade histories. His dual identity—as a guardian of tradition and a seeker of innovation—mirrors Sri Lanka’s own crossroads during the colonial era.
Legal scholars note that de Silva’s judgments (in his capacity as an arbitrator) and his legal opinions tend to favor ex post regulation—the idea that regulators must act swiftly after a breach to restore market confidence, rather than just drafting prospective rules.
