Even though there is no dearth of talent, Sinhala poetry does not enjoy the popularity that it had a few decades ago.

"The island of Sri Lanka has been a favorite haunt of aliens, extra terrestrials, gods, devas, angels, sky dwellers, demons, deities whichever way you describe them. Our chronicles, traditions, folklore, prehistoric cave drawings, archaeological evidence and ancient traveler's' records testify that there have been strange beings living in this island from time immemorial."

More than a million Sri Lankans - roughly 1 in every 19 citizens - now work abroad, and nearly 600,000 are housemaids. The women often leave indebted, work virtually indentured and have almost no legal redress against the sexual harassment, confinement or physical abuse they often suffer in the countries they adopt.

Sri Lankan underworld gangs thrived in seventies supported by corrupt politicians creating a different crime and fear culture in the Lankan society. Underprivileged youths were given money and protection to get dirty jobs done. Different gangs were formed. If the politicians are to be exposed or in case of betrayal the ruthless masters will silent the obedient underworld servants without no hesitation. For the tricked and trapped gangs there is no way out than survive with the weapons until they die young...

Sri Lanka is locked in never-ending political turmoil. All parties adopt short sighted policies aimed only at the next election and not the next generation or the country's long term interest. Every time they spoke of national interest they only meant their own interests. Add your comments here!

The Soldiers serving in operational areas in the furthest and remote locations, unlike the members of any other organization, due to the nature of their duties, risk their own lives to safeguard the sovereignty and territorial integrity of the country. They have to be separated from their loved ones and continue to live under severe tension and stress for prolonged periods.

Five centuries before Christ, Sri Lanka was a land throbbing with vitality and a well-ordered civilization. Cities, palaces, reservoirs, parks, temples, monasteries, monuments and works of art bore testament to the character, imagination, culture, philosophy and faith of the people of Sri Lanka, the Resplendent Land.
