Hope For Sri Lanka

It is 18 April 2022 today and the whole Sri Lanka is in unrest. I don’t wish to talk about who are responsible for this pathetic situation in the country today, as it’s been well-analysed and explained by the experts over and over again.

We all know that this distress has been heating up in the society for decades though this latest explosion of the socio-political unrest emerged just less than two months ago when the consequences of country reaching the brink of bankruptcy were felt by the majority of the population for the first time in the history.

New series of inspirational discussions

As a Sri Lankan living in the UK, I have been observing many differences between here and in Sri Lankan value system (the general acceptance of right and wrong) which I have so often recognised as the explanation for the huge gap between our respective state of living.

I have been hoping to share my observations on this not-very-obvious but very-crucial factor that divides us from the western world, because I believe that a complete system makeover will be realistic only if we change the existing value system of the Sri Lankan society.

Here I am starting a series of discussions on how the society functions here in the UK in contrast to Sri Lanka under different scenarios and I hope this will inspire you all to be more perceptive in the journey to rebuild Sri Lanka the right way…
