Sri Lanka This page contains valuable information for anyone interested in Sri Lankan History I have included here work of renowned historians such as people like Dr. Paranavitana. 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. This is specially true in the current situation where there is a movement to hide the true history from our future generations and to present a warped history to the generations hereafter. (They consider depriving the future generations of their roots is going to bring peace to Sri Lanka) Note:- This section of the site is in no way intended to create racial disharmony. This is intended to be an educational and an informative tool for those who have a genuine interest in our country. As you will notice after reading in entirety the content of this section that all races have been living in this country in harmony until the insecurities of a few politicians changed our future. Hard truth of war Location Located 18 miles (29 kilometers) off the southeastern tip of the Indian subcontinent, Sri Lanka lies about 400 miles (645 kilometers) north of the equator. Colombo is the capital and largest city. A new capital, Sri Jayawardenapura-Kotte, was designated in 1977. The country has a total land area of 25,332 square miles (65,610 square kilometers).

  • Yakkas - The Ancient Sri Lankans ( These Expert Horsemen Developed Hydrolic Civilization in the Country ) (Sri Lanka is said to have been inhabited by Yakkas (demon-worshippers) , Rakshasas and Nagas (snake-worshippers) before the arrival of Vijaya and his men who colonized the island. They were totemic tribes not supernatural beings. There is in north-east India today a state called Nagaland the home of the Naga people.)
Veddhas - Sri Lankan Aborigines "I was born in the forest. My ancestors come from here. We are the forest beings, and I want to live and die here. And even if I were reborn only as a fly or an ant, I would still be happy so long as I knew I would come back to live here in the forest." - Uru Warige Tissahamy
  • Who are Veddhas? S ri Lanka's indigenous inhabitants, the Veddas or Wanniya-laeto ('forest-dwellers') as they call themselves preserve a direct line of descent from the island's original Neolithic community dating from at least 16,000 BC and probably far earlier according to current scientific opinion.)

  • Sri Lanka's Indigenous Wanniya-laeto: A Case History (Report to Sri Lanka’s National Committee for the International Year of the World’s Indigenous People submitted by Cultural Survival of Sri Lanka)
  • The ways of the Veddhas (The true vedda is extinct now. Yet Handuna still bore the picture of a true vedda. There were groves of jak and mango trees in their gardens together with a few coconut palms. Inside the hut there were two deer skins which served as quilts for Handuna and his wife Mah Thuthie.)

Sri Lanka's Mud Culture:
"Naturally at the Taj"
by Patrick Harrigan
Visit the Samudra Cottage photo album
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.

55. Sri Lanka's Changing Culture
sri lanka is a country caught in the middle of a changing culture. Sex is stillconsidered a very controversial topic. May 13, 2002 by Jason MacNeil.
http://www.teenwire.com/views/articles/wv_20020513p059.asp
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
