Question

I was born in Sri Lanka and thn moved over to The USA

Answer 1

Sri Lanka is one of the relatively larger Islands of the world. It is slightly smaller than Madagascar but nowhere near as large as Greenland (the world's largest island). Sri Lanka is located off of the Southeast coast of India and is the source of much internal conflicts and civil wars. What most people don't know is that Sri Lanka is one of the top five most deadly warzones in the Southeast Asia. Even today conflict rages on in Sri Lanka. The conflict is a result of numerous causes. The religious differences in the region account for much of the internal strife. The island is divided by two main religions: Hinduism and Islam. These two religions have never coinsided peacefully except for a very breif period in India/Pakistan under the Mugal Empire some 700 years ago. Every other place the two religions have met, blood has resulted. Sri Lanka is no exception. Also, today, Sri Lanka is under the control of a dictatorship as are most of the warzones in the world. While much of the people seek freedom from oppression, the Sri Lankan government abuses the people and causes the conflict to escalate ever more. Sri Lanka is simply another Cuba, Haiti, Dominican Republic, Columbia, Congo, and countless other third world nations that are abused by dictatorships.
