Vignettes
of the Public Service JAFFNA |
The ‘caste factor’ is present throughout the country, as was manifested at the election of an ‘Educated Ceylonese’, by presumably educated Ceylonese, in 1912 when a govigama/vellala Tamil was preferred to a karava Sinhalese, and as a scrutiny of the caste composition of our Cabinets would show. Over the past three decades it has been more than present in the public services as well. It is found in its most acute form, if such distinctions are tenable, in Jaffna. |
