Socio-religious desegregation in an immediate postwar town Jaffna, Sri Lanka Delon MADAVAN PhD candidate and Junior Lecturer in Geography Université Paris-IV Sorbonne Laboratoire Espaces, Nature et Culture (UMR 8185) [email protected] Abstract The cease-fire agreement of 2002 between the Sri Lankan state and the separatist movement of Liberalisation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE), was an opportunity to analyze the role of war and then of the cessation of fighting as a potential process of transformation of the segregation at Jaffna in the context of immediate post-war period. Indeed, the armed conflict (1987-2001), with the abolition of the caste system by the LTTE and repeated displacements of people, has been a breakdown for Jaffnese society. The weight of the hierarchical castes system and the one of religious communities, which partially determine the town's prewar population distribution, the choice of spouse, social networks of individuals, values and taboos of society, have been questioned as a result of the conflict.

  • Sea Cucumber Pen Culture in the Northern Province of Sri Lanka U
    190 Sea Cucumber Pen Culture in the Northern Province of Sri Lanka U. Mallikarachchi†, M.A.J.C. Mallawa Arachchi and K. Arulanandan National Aquatic Resources Research and Development Agency, Sri Lanka †[email protected] Abstract: Worldwide increased demand for beche-de-mer encouraged overexploitation of wild stocks of tropical sea cucumbers and it has created motivation to sea cucumber aquaculture. Capture based sea cucumber aquaculture is completely a new experience to Sri Lanka. This research aimed to develop pen culture techniques for sea cucumbers and to familiarize fishing communities on sea cucumber aquaculture in Sri Lanka. Three pens were constructed in Gurunagar and Navanthurai lagoon area and one was constructed in the sea area at Mandaithivu in Jaffna district. Pens were constructed by using PVC net, blue shade net and with coconut planks. The size of each pen was 25m25m. Holthuria scabra juveniles were collected and the net pens were stocked at a density of two individual m-2. The water temperature and salinity were measured in weekly intervals. The average water temperature remained in 300C in all three sites. The bottom water salinity in Navanthurai site varied from 380C to 390C and other two sites shown similar salinity variation between 340C to 350C. The organic carbon content in Gurunagar, Navanthurai and in Mandathivu were 1.07%, 1.5% and 2.18% respectively. In the first four months the growth rates of Holothuria scabra at Gurunagar, Navanthurai and Mandaitheevu were 0.66gd-1, 0.96gd-1 and 1.23gd-1. The highest growth rate shown by juveniles stocked in Mandathivu and lowest growth rate shown in Gurunagar site.

  • Second Term at St. John's Was Packed with Many Events. There Was an Exhibition Spanning Two Days
    Second Term at St. John's was packed with many events. There was an exhibition spanning two days. The highlight of the exhibition was the Philately Exhibition which drew numerous positive comments from various segments of the community. On the 4th of May, our College celebrated its 190th anniversary. Though St. John's was 'born' 190 years ago in 1823, she was 'conceived' five years earlier in 1818 as the following historical account clearly records: ''In 1817 the Anglican Church Mission Society (CMS) approved the establishment of missions in Ceylon. On 20th December 1817 four clergymen - Joseph Knight, Samuel Lambrick, Robert Major and Benjamin Ward - and their wives left England and sailed to Ceylon on board the Vittoria. They arrived in late June 1818. Knight went to Jaffna, Lambrick went to Colombo, Major and his wife went to Galle and Ward and his wife to Trincomalee. Knight started his missionary work in 1818 in Nallur. He held service in his bungalow and opened up 8 schools in different parts of the Jaffna District. Unfortunately there was an outbreak of cholera. Many people including the students of the eight schools were greatly affected. Following this, Rev. Joseph Knight selected seven students from the eight different schools and established the Nallur English Seminary in March 1823. The school was initially located in Knight's bungalow.'' ''In 1845 The English Seminary was transferred to Chundikuli and was renamed ''The Chundikuli English Seminary.'' The Old Portuguese Church of St. John the Baptist at Chundikuli was handed over to the C.M.S and services were held in the Church by Rev.Johnstone and the students of the Seminary attended these services.
