Assimilation and aggression, depending on the society given as an example, do not necessarily have to be in conflict. If the example is the Sri Lanka society in Anil’s Ghost, the answer would be yes and no. If assimilation meant abiding by the governmental rules, then Anil’s aggressive search for Sailor’s identity would be in conflict with the assimilation. All of the Sri Lankan citizens that fought for change would be in conflict of assimilation. On the other hand, all of the soldiers and government officials killing, stealing, and otherwise acting aggressively, would not be in conflict with assimilation. It depends on how aggression is displayed in what society whether or not assimilation is in conflict with aggression.

European office doors meant nothing when there was the crisis. If and when you were asked by the government to leave, you left. You took nothing with you. Not a slide tray, not a piece of film. (Ondaatje 29)

The methods of Anil, Sarath, and Palipana, even though tall were anthropologists, differed drastically. Anil’s technique was more modern and Western, whereas Sarath and Palipana’s methods were more old-fashioned and Eastern. An example would be when they were determining the age of Sailor. Sarath examined Sailor with the following findings:

I photographed the skeleton with and without the head for a record. Meanwhile, we’ll continue to examine this skeleton—its soil traces, palynology. The brinjals are very good….Sir, you and I work on ancient rocks, fossils, rebuild dried-up water gardens, concern ourselves with why an army moved into the dry zone. We can identify an architect by his habit of building in the winter and summer palaces. But Anil lives in contemporary times. She uses contemporary methods. She can cut a cross-section of a bone with a fine saw and determine the skeleton’s exact age at death that way.
