[edit] Burnng of Library

The statement added by someone that the Library was burnt down by The Army is completely false. I'm removing that statement.

However, according to the cited article, the Army helped rebuild it. So I'm adding that bit. --snowolfD4( talk / @ ) 20:07, 29 August 2006 (UTC)

Jaffna Library was burnt several times.

First time it was burnt by Cyril Mathew and Gamini Dissanayake, the ministers in the JR government and thousands of hooligans who accompanied them in two trains with free passage from Kurunegala to Jaffna during an District Council elections. The library and its hundred thousand of books were burnt on this instance and several valuable historical documents were burnt to ashes. this is the worst incident of library burning next to the mongol barbarians burning the Mesopotamian library.

The second time it was burnt by Army hooligans who were systematically destroying all the libraries in Jaffna including the Hartley College library somewhere in 1984/85 period.

[edit] History Section

The entire history section lacks citations and looks highly dubious to me. If no one provides inline citations for the text within the next few days I will have to remove the entire section and replace it with an older version like this. --snowolfD4( talk / @ ) 02:21, 26 March 2007 (UTC)
