Physical destruction of development constructions and internationally orchestrated misinformation to derail and destroy international investment and economic assistance especially from the west were the ploys the terrorists resorted to acheive this While the former threat has now been largely eliminated the latter is once again re-emerging under the guise of the World Tamil Forum WTF. It is gratifying that this propaganda is not washing in China and India , who as neighbors and as countries sharing a similar heritage and culture , are more aware of the ground realities. Sri Lanka in the 1950's formed the model on which Singapore was built. Sri Lanka has maintained literacy rates well over 90 % since then as well asmaintained health indices like infant mortality rates comparable to the west. Life expectancy too is in the 70s and 80s for males and females.The per capita income is over $2000 and highest among the major economies of south asia. IT literacy is over 25% increasing rapidly. Aid and investment in Sri Lanka there fore can only be win- win for all parties It is gratifying to see wisdom that created and sustained civilizations for thousands of years , asserting itself once again, while the west continues to "cry foul" at Sri Lanka, influenced by the likes of WTF, Sri Lanka whom they subjected to colonial rule deprivation of human and all rights then, this time as it aims to raise it's head from terrorist deprivation.

Sri Lanka in the 1950′s formed the model on which Singapore was built. Sri Lanka has maintained literacy rates well over 90 % since then as well asmaintained health indices like infant mortality rates comparable to the west. Life expectancy too is in the 70s and 80s for males and females.The per capita income is over $2000 and highest among the major economies of south asia. IT literacy is over 25% increasing rapidly.

It is gratifying to see wisdom that created and sustained civilizations for thousands of years , asserting itself once again, while the west continues to “cry foul” at Sri Lanka, influenced by the likes of WTF, Sri Lanka whom they subjected to colonial rule deprivation of human and all rights then, this time as it aims to raise it’s head from terrorist deprivation.

China-Sri Lanka-India forms the New Silk Maritime Route in the Indian Ocean. Sri Lanka which is endowed with a JANUS like Geography and the only place in the World where the East and West come closest to meeting at least in passing-bye of Ships plying in both directions.
