Sri Lanka's development as a country proceeds to discouragement and hopeless aspect due to an early history western attacks and very weak attitudes in the people's mind


As I heard in my childhood and later from so many references; our ancestors were truly brilliant with their skills in many fields: Architecture, Engineering, Construction, Medical Treatments, Fitness Sports, Metal Industry, Clay Industry, War Strategies, Literature, Music, Dancing, Arts, Environmental Science, Chemistry, Food Science, Cooking, Preserving Foods, Vehicles and many more; They built huge Sthupa like "Ruwanwali Maha Seya", They built huge reservoirs like “Kala Weva”, They built outstanding forts like “Sigiriya and Yapahuwa”, They made huge statues like “Aukana and Polonnaruwa Budu pilima”, They built high-rise buildings like “Lowa Maha Paya” etc. Unfortunately we lost that entire valuable context after British, Dutch and portuguese arrived here; and the western people made us slaves of them and grabbed our humanity, talents, skills and technology without knowing us. We are using English language to grab international knowledge for our education, this is because Sudda made us unable and totally removed our attitude to work on our own great technology, skills and methodologies by ruling the country for several years. They totally destroyed our attitudes and made us unable to make a single “Reservoir” or a “Big Sthupa” or a “Statue”, or an “Art” or any other kind, The worst thing was Sudda made several “Kalu Suddos” everywhere who couldn’t even utter a Sinhala word and precisely they used to live in English style, and trying to make Sri Lanka as an another England on the planet. No matter they only spell or speak one Sinhala word “Budu Ammo” when only they see the Ghosts in the night

Human - Elephant Conflict in SL & SL Government's Careless Approaches to Solve the Problem

Very recently I met with a fantastic elephant scientist and a research specialist in human-elephant conflict mitigation. As he said average death rate of human is 50 and elephant is 200 due to this human-elephant conflict in SL; he has been managing the research for 30 years, and he realized relocation of herd of elephants would never solve the problem; the Wildlife Conservation has relocated more than 200 elephants from human areas to national parks, but the statistics explains it only increases the conflict; how this happened? normally moving elephant babies and females would never solve the problem, matured males are the aggressive ones; as he said he and his team have practiced relocating aggressive ones for last 10 years, they put GPS collars to those elephants and mapped their behavior and moving patterns, unbelievable , ultimately those aggressive ones returned back to their native places even after 1-2 years. While they are coming back they destroyed many other villages, crops and civilians. So the conflict has been almost increased..!! after 50 years of practiced he has mentioned this to the government and wild life, but they have never taken an action plan or proper solution for this. Only thing government should do is to find some investments and funds, he is always ready with all the solutions for this problem, even to give his advice, manage the project voluntarily, but question is why the hell government don't take Human-Elephant conflict as a serious issue? loss of 50 people, 200 elephants and millions of property per year; isn't it a critical economic and social issue?? Last time world bank has given money to fund the project, but Namal Baby has renamed the project and asked money for some other development. So World Bank has rejected the whole project.What a shame..!!! I would say building "World's Biggest Salt Water Pool" , and "World's Biggest Cricket Ground" , "World's Tallest Tower" in SL is not the priority Mr President, there are lot of other important things, you must think and do.
