People for Equality and Relief in Lanka (PEARL) · PEARL, January 2026

Editorial gloss

Most current (Jan 2026) Tier C documentation of continuing state-facilitated land appropriation and coercive demographic engineering in the N-E under the NPP. Verbatim: 'This new analysis examines how the Sri Lankan state continues to use its power to facilitate Sinhala-Buddhist control over the North-East — efforts that have long sought to erase the Tamil-speaking character of the region through land appropriation and coercive demographic engineering… State-driven settlement and irrigation schemes have repeatedly failed to yield economic returns and drained public resources.' Includes Mayilaththamadu–Mathavanai (Batticaloa) dairy-farmer case study. Traces the pattern from the 1930s into the 2026 NPP era.
