Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Badugé and Vadugé are two ancestral family names used todate by Karava families of Sri Lanka. Their ancestors were humble Vaduvás. However the modern Sri Lankan Karava community is also of interesting note for the energetic attempts it makes to reinterpret its status in the caste ranking system of the country. Traditionally set below the Govigama caste, the Karava of colonial times rapidly allied themselves to the Colonial powers ( Portugese, Dutch and English) who ruled Sri Lanka. In the following centuries the Karava have created a semi-modern folklore of heraldry, etymology and traditions that attempt to establish them at the apex of the Sri Lankan caste structure. They have on occasion also succeeded , using this allegiance, in convincing the Colonial rulers of the veracity of such claims, leading to many erroneous Western writings on the Sri Lankan caste hierarchy during the 18th and 19th Centuries.
