Negotiating epistemic rupture: evolution of integration of knowledge discourse in Sri Lanka.
IIIT Students Magazine, 3 (1).
pp. 22-25.
Abstract
The integration of knowledge project has largely been imagined through the lens of Muslim-majority societies, where institutional support and political space are often assumed. What remains strikingly underexplored is how this intellectual movement resonates beyond those settings, particularly among Muslim communities living as minorities. In such contexts, questions of identity, citizenship, and educational access fundamentally alter what “integration” can realistically mean.
This article turns to Sri Lanka to address that blind spot. By examining how Muslim intellectuals and institutions in a minority setting have engaged with the integration of knowledge discourse, it highlights the tensions, adaptations, and possibilities that emerge when global Islamic ideas meet local political and social realities. In doing so, the Sri Lankan
case invites a broader rethinking of whether the integration of knowledge can be a universal project, or whether it must be reimagined from the margins.
