This Sri Lankan source, an article from Vikalpa by Sampath Samarakoon, details the 1981 burning of the Jaffna Public Library, an event referred to as an "intellectual sanctuary" and a profound attack on the Tamil people's intellectual and cultural heritage. It highlights the historical and cultural significance of the library, tracing its origins and growth into a repository of rare books and a center for intellectual development. The article argues that the destruction was not merely arson but a deliberate act fueled by racial politics and state policies aimed at marginalizing the Tamil community. While the library has been rebuilt, the source underscores that the intellectual and cultural loss is irreparable, and the perpetrators remain unpunished, leaving a deep wound and unresolved questions about justice and reconciliation for the Tamil people.
