📚 Jaffna Library – A Cultural Inferno | DARK HISTORY
On the night of 31 May 1981, the Jaffna Public Library—once one of Asia’s finest, holding over 97,000 rare books and manuscripts—was set ablaze in an orchestrated attack during ethnic unrest in Sri Lanka. Among the ashes were irreplaceable treasures: centuries-old palm-leaf manuscripts, the only existing copy of the Yalpanam Vaipavama (a history of Jaffna), and countless works of Tamil literature.
This was not random vandalism—it was a calculated strike at the heart of a people’s history, memory, and cultural pride. For the Tamil community, the flames of that night became a symbol of loss, injustice, and the beginning of a darker chapter in the island’s conflict.
