He attended the University of Peradeniya, reading Philosophy and subsequently moved to the UK. A remarkable man, infused with sharp mind and great intelligence, he had an undiminished passion to preserve the antiquities of Sri Lanka. Heco-founded the Ceylon Bloomsbury Group and organised discussions devoted to Sri Lankan literary and political issues, including at the \u201cGreat Court\u201d caf\u00e9 within the British Museum in recent decades. As \u2018an old-school Trotskyite and a Sri Lankan to the core\u2019 despite moving to England in the 1950s, he sustained his interest in island politics, as well as the Sri Lankan literary world. Living his life on his terms, there was none so unique as Nathan Narendrarajah Sivasambu and it is doubtful there will ever be again.
