01 national bankruptcy
Big thunder originated from Sri Lanka.
What is big thunder? The whole country went bankrupt.
Bankruptcy means insolvency.
Sri Lanka owes us $51billion in foreign debt and needs to pay 7billion this year, but its foreign exchange reserves are less than 2billion. So, it became warped. Next, there is only one way to go bankrupt and restructure.
Now Sri Lanka has taught the melon eating industry a lesson in the way of “self sacrifice”: what is the appearance of national bankruptcy?
Whenever any country suffers, it is the common people who are injured. So the angry crowd rushed into the presidential palace and had a hearty “0 yuan presidential palace Tour”.
President Gotabaya
·
Rajapaksa couldn’t bear it and signed his resignation on July 11; However, the date filled in the signature is July 13. Why? Because he needs two days to escape Sri Lanka.
According to the rules of the game, as president, Rajapaksa enjoys immunity from arrest. He wants to leave the country in advance and go to the United Arab Emirates before the effective time of his resignation document arrives.
But interestingly, the staff of the airport immigration bureau refused to go to the VIP area where Rajapaksa was located to stamp his passport. The president is speechless enough to get to this point.
Of course, Rajapaksa does not need to go to the VIP area to seal, but can also take the public passage with ordinary passengers. However, he was more guilty, worried about being attacked by other passengers at the airport, and refused to take the public passage.
At present, Rajapaksa and his wife are at a military base near the airport. Because he is the commander in chief of the Sri Lankan armed forces and is protected by the armed forces.
According to the military, Rajapaksa can still choose to take a naval ship to India or Maldives and transfer to the United Arab Emirates from there, even if he does not take a plane. But in that case, it looks more like fleeing, and there is no chance to make a comeback in the future.
You may wonder why Sri Lanka is so bankrupt?
First, Sri Lanka is heavily dependent on Tourism in the service industry. In the past few years, Sri Lanka suffered heavy losses and its financial situation deteriorated sharply due to the devastation of the epidemic.
The second reason is that the elite class is not smart enough. In order to promote organic agriculture, they ordered the country to ban chemical fertilizers and pesticides, resulting in insufficient soil fertility and serious insect disasters. As a result, agricultural production has been reduced significantly, causing a large number of Sri Lankans to face the threat of hunger.
The third reason is that the US dollar interest rate hike has made Sri Lanka’s fiscal deterioration worse.
Fourth, India is covetous.
Then riots appeared.
02 rich families
Rome wasn’t built in a day.
Riots in Sri Lanka have been going on since at least May.
On May 9, bloody clashes occurred in Colombo, the capital of Sri Lanka, and other places, resulting in the death of five people, including a member of Parliament, and the injury of about 200 people.
Prime Minister Mahinda Rajapaksa
Announced his resignation on May 9. But the people were not satisfied and demanded that President Gotabaya·
Rajapaksa also resigned.
Some people attacked the prime minister’s residence and the prime minister’s office in kurunegrad County, northwest province, and protestors set fire to Rajapaksa’s ancestral home in hambantot port.

Gotabaya·
Rajapaksa was angry and asked the Ministry of defense of Sri Lanka to issue an iron and blood suppression order that can be called the strongest in the 21st century: “order to be shot on the spot”.
——The rioters were shot on the spot, hoping to quell the riot.
However, two months later, the so-called “on-site shooting order” not only failed to quell the riots, but also intensified the contradictions. More people joined the chaos just to let the president
Gotabaya·
Rajapaksa stepped down and went away.
You may wonder why the President issued that order to intensify contradictions?
Because the president

Rajapaksa and
Prime Minister Mahinda Rajapaksa
Two brothers; The prime minister’s ancestral home, which was burned by protesters, is also the president’s ancestral home.
In fact, Rajapaksa family is the first family in Sri Lanka. The finance minister who resigned before was called basil
·
Rajapaksa, the speaker’s name is chamar
·
Rajapaksa, together with the president and the prime minister, are also close brothers.
During the rule of Gotabaya and Mahinda in Sri Lanka, the Rajapaksa family produced a total of 11 ministerial leaders.
From 2010 to 2015, when Mahinda was president (the prime minister and the president took turns), it is said that in addition to the cabinet, more than 40 members of the Rajapaksa family held government positions. Mahinda’s eldest son namar once served as Sri Lanka’s minister of sports, and his second son Yoshita served as director of the prime minister’s office.
The use of family members on such a large scale is nothing more than this in the era of family and the world.
The Rajapaksa family is luxuriant, and even the Indian media “India Express”, which is used to the scenes of corruption, can’t read it anymore. The article said that among the major political families in South Asia, no one can be as “self-confident and cronyist” as the Rajapaksa family.
After this riot, the Rajapaksa family
Basically destroyed.
The chaos in Sri Lanka has given India the opportunity to fish in troubled waters. Indian radicals began to build momentum in the media and claimed that now was the best time for India to merge Sri Lanka.
This is not just some Indian netizens. Hey, Indian officials have always wanted to annex Sri Lanka.
As early as 1945, before India became independent, Nehru publicly regarded Ceylon (Sri Lanka) as a part of India, because India had the right to inherit the British colony in South Asia.
In 1974, the chief of staff of the Indian Navy declared that Sri Lanka was as important to India as Northern Ireland was to Britain and Taiwan was to China. India would never tolerate the domination of Sri Lanka by hostile powers, thereby threatening India’s territorial integrity.
This is one of the most shameless words spoken by senior Indian officials. Because Taiwan is part of China and Northern Ireland is part of Britain; Sri Lanka is an independent sovereign state.
03 racial contradictions
Sri Lanka, located at the southernmost tip of the South Asian continent, is an island in the Indian Ocean, mainly Sinhalese (accounting for about 70%) and Tamils. They are all from mainland India.
In ancient times, Aryans went south from Central Asia and gradually conquered the South Asian continent.
In the process of Aryan conquest, the darapitam people, an indigenous people in northwest India, were expelled to the southern tip of India. Tamils are one of the darovita people.
As for the ancient history of Sri Lanka, there are several key points to remember:
1. About 2500 years ago, some Aryans who conquered the South Asian continent migrated to Ceylon Island, where they established the Sinhalese Dynasty, and then formed the Sinhalese.
2. In 247 BC, after Ashoka unified India, he sent his son to Ceylon to preach, which was warmly welcomed. Since then, Sinhalese people have given up salomonism and believed in Buddhism, taking crows as divine birds until now.
3. Around the 2nd century BC, Tamils also began to migrate to Ceylon. Because Tamils believed in Hinduism, they fought with Sinhalese who believed in Buddhism on Ceylon island for more than 1000 years until the arrival of colonists.
First, the Portuguese, then the Dutch, and finally the British took control of Ceylon.
4. In order to avoid the unity and resistance of all ethnic groups in Sri Lanka, the British colonists adopted the policy of “divide and rule”: the Tamil minority was reused to restrict the Sinhalese, who accounted for the majority of the population,
The specific measure is to recruit in the colonial government
Tamils
?
This caused the dissatisfaction of Sinhalese people.
Sri Lanka did not take measures to ease the contradiction after independence, but carried out several strategies to intensify the contradiction.
First, in 1956, the government passed the bill that Sinhala is the official language of Sri Lanka, which triggered riots among Tamils—— Cultural contradictions have been intensified.
Second, in 1972, Sri Lanka recognized Buddhism as the national religion (Tamils believe in Hinduism)—— Religious contradictions have been intensified.
Third, the Sri Lankan government restricts Tamils in higher education and government employment opportunities. The university enrollment rate of Tamils fell from 31% in the early days of independence to 20% in the 1970s; From 1977 to 1981, Tamils accounted for only 4.9% of Sri Lanka’s five-year civil service enrollment—— The contradiction of interests has been intensified.
Sri Lanka’s practices have caused serious dissatisfaction among Tamils. The militants began to seek independence. They established the “Tamil Tigers” and tried to force the government to agree to their demands for independence through terrorist activities such as assassinations. This practice directly triggered Sri Lanka’s civil war of more than 20 years.
04 India is too close
There is a hidden rule in the global village that small countries around big countries are easy to be unlucky. Mexico and Cuba next to the United States, Georgia and Ukraine next to Russia are all notable cases.
The bad luck of Sri Lanka is that heaven is far away and India is very close.
Previous articles have said that although India often looks funny, it is essentially militaristic (such as dismembering Pakistan and annexing Sikkim) and is as belligerent as the United States. After independence, India wanted to be the old hen of South Asia and turn other countries into chicks under its own wings.
In the 1980s, Indian Prime Minister Indira Gandhi proposed a so-called “Indira doctrine”: India will not interfere in the internal affairs of any country in the region, but it will not tolerate such interference by foreign powers.
In fact, it is to follow the Monroe Doctrine of the United States and regard South Asia as its own backyard. However, Sri Lanka and the West have a hot fight, which makes India very unhappy, and is determined to support the Tamil Tigers.
It’s funding again
It also provides training venues
They sent people to train the soldiers of the LTTE
The operation was as fierce as a tiger. Although India made the LTTE stronger, it failed to achieve the expected effect.
In 1987, India wanted the LTTE to establish a state in northern Sri Lanka. As a result, the LTTE was not only ungrateful, but also extended its hand to India to make trouble with Indian Tamils, which seriously threatened the stability of southern India.
After finding that it lifted a stone and hit itself in the foot, India became angry and began to support the Sri Lankan government to fight the LTTE.
Rajiv Gandhi was furious and sent troops to invade Sri Lanka on the grounds of peacekeeping! This single handed operation has forcibly turned the Sri Lankan civil war into a war between the Indian army and the “LTTE” supported by the Indian army.
As a result, the war lasted for three years, and the Indian army fell into the mire of Sri Lanka, making itself a laughing stock of the global village. Rajiv Gandhi also lost the election.
On May 21, 1991, Rajiv Gandhi, the former Prime Minister of India after stepping down, went to Madras, the capital of Tamil Nadu, in order to support the election of the United Party, and was killed by a flower laying woman with a bomb.
The Nehru family declined in Indian Politics (the collapse of the Soviet Union was another important factor).
Although India has made itself a joke in Sri Lanka, this time the chaos in Sri Lanka, India once again has green eyes and drooling lips.
05 Indian greed
Why is India not dead to Sri Lanka? Because India itself has militaristic thinking and is extremely greedy for territory.
Let’s take a look at India’s records:
1. India is one of the few countries that have had wars with all its neighbors since World War II. China, Pakistan, Myanmar, Sri Lanka and so on have all worked with India.
2. India is one of the few countries that successfully annexed its neighbors after World War II. Sikkim was originally a sovereign state, but now it has become the Sikkim state of India. India also wants Sri Lanka and Bhutan to become its own territory.
3. India is one of the few countries that broke up its neighbors after World War II. Pakistan originally had two parts: East and West. India transformed East Pakistan into Bangladesh through the India Pakistan war.
With India’s greed, don’t be surprised if one day follow Russia’s example in carrying out special military operations against Sri Lanka. And India really wants to do that.
