21St October 1966 Uprising Merging the North and East Water and Big Business
December 2006 21st October 1966 Uprising SK Senthivel Merging the North and East E Thambiah Water and Big Business Krishna Iyer; India Resource Centre Poetry: Mahakavi, So Pa, Sivasegaram ¨ From the Editor’s Desk ¨ NDP Diary ¨ Readers’ Views ¨ Sri Lankan Events ¨ International Events ¨ Book Reviews The Moon and the Chariot by Mahaakavi "The village has gathered to draw the chariot, let us go and hold the rope" -one came forward. A son, borne by mother earth in her womb to live a full hundred years. Might in his arms and shoulders light in his eyes, and in his heart desire for upliftment amid sorrow. He came. He was young. Yes, a man. The brother of the one who only the day before with agility of mind as wings on his shoulder climbed the sky, to touch the moon and return -a hard worker. He came to draw the rope with a wish in his heart: "Today we shall all be of one mind". "Halt" said one. "Stop" said another. "A weed" said one. "Of low birth" said another. "Say" said one. "Set alight" said another. The fall of a stone, the slitting of a throat, the flight of a lip and teeth that scattered, the splattering of blood, and an earth that turned red. A fight there was, and people were killed. A chariot for the village to draw stood still like it struck root. On it, the mother goddess, the creator of all worlds, sat still, dumbfounded by the zealotry of her children. Out there, the kin of the man who only the day before had touched the moon is rolling in dirt. -

BASIC POPULATION INFORMATION ON JAFFNA DISTRICT – 2007 Preliminary Report Based on Special Enumeration – 2007 Department of Census and Statistics June 2008 Foreword The Department of Census and Statistics (DCS), carried out a special enumeration in Eastern province and in Jaffna district in Northern province. The objective of this enumeration is to provide the necessary basic information needed to formulate development programmes and relief activities for the people. This preliminary publication for Jaffna district has been compiled from the reports obtained from the District based on summaries prepared by enumerators and supervisors. A final detailed publication will be disseminated after the computer processing of questionnaires. This preliminary release gives some basic information for Jaffna district, such as population by divisional secretary’s division, urban/rural population, sex, age (under 18 years and 18 years and over) and ethnicity. Data on displaced persons due to conflict or tsunami are also included. Some important information which is useful for regional level planning purposes are given by Grama Niladhari Divisions. This enumeration is based on the usual residents of households in the district. These figures should be regarded as provisional. I wish to express my sincere thanks to the staff of the department and all other government officials and others who worked with dedication and diligence for the successful completion of the enumeration.
