This site highlights the true history of our country recorded factually for over Two Thousand Five Hundred years to be of invaluable service to anyone who is interested in Sri Lanka and its history.

    sri lanka's Mud culture Naturally at the Taj . For information about effortsto preserve the traditional culture of sri lanka, visit these pages  
    http://kataragama.org/centers/mudcul.htm
    
    Extractions: "Naturally at the Taj" In 1989, Cultural Survival of Sri Lanka was formed with the object of representing the views and interests of traditional villagers who still form the majority of the island's population. The idea was to show that traditional organic lifestyles should be not merely tolerated but studied and emulated if Sri Lanka is to break the cycle of social unrest and environmental degradation brought on largely by the introduction and resulting hegemony of modern Western values and patterns of comsumption. We decided to take the system head-on and challenge the fundamental assumptions of modern urban Sri Lankans. The usual assumption is that life is better in the the town than in the village and better in Colombo than in a town (and by extension, better in foreign countries than in Colombo). Typically, development agencies fan out from the capital to the towns and villages to enlighten ignorant villagers about how they can achieve a western-style standard of living if they would only give up their old ways. This pattern was epitimized by a government edict stipulating that bank loans for housing construction would be approved only for villagers who agreed to use the money only to purchase materials like cement and asbestos roofing. No villager who wanted to build a traditional wattle-and-daub mud hut using locally-available materials could obtain a housing loan. Villagers had learned that to get a bank loan, they had to agree to build and reside in a glorified cement box. The cement barons were getting richer and the villagers were steadily losing their old way of life in the name of national development as defined by urban bureaucrats.

    Extractions: May 13, 2002 by Jason MacNeil ocated just off the southern tip of India, Sri Lanka is an island nation of about two million people covering approximately 25,000 square miles. A country influenced by its British, Dutch, and Portuguese colonial history, Sri Lanka still maintains a deeply conservative lifestyle. But recent Western influences in the form of news media, the Internet, and entertainment have left many teens caught in the middle of a changing culture. This tension is particularly visible when it comes to matters of sex and relationships. Pre-arranged marriages are not unusual, and three generations often live under the same roof. Sex is still considered a very controversial topic. As a result, discussions of pregnancy and sexually transmitted infections often get swept under the rug. "Forget
