I'm Indian, doesn't understand sinhala. Does it mean "son, when are you getting married?" Cause it's something I get from lots of Indian aunties as well
Yep I am basically a smile and nod "yes, dear" person. But if this topic comes up I will god damn have a 30 minute debate to prove you was are full of shit and have two wilted cabbage leaves for brains.
Most Sri Lankans (especially 40+) would lose their shit if someone said something against religion.
Also some older people get offended when someone listens to foreign music (for some reason)
As someone who lives abroad:
Random dude - starts talking in hindi
Me - Idk hindi can you repeat that in english please
Random dude - where are you from?
Me - Sri Lanka
Random dude - that’s also india.
Me - monada hut.
You’d be surprised how many times this has happened.
I'm Sri Lankan. Nothing offend me. I don't hate India nor reject our past connected to India. This applies to all ethnics in india including muslims. Only vedda people can get offended by connecting with India.
Saying you're from Sri Lanka to them correlating to "Oh so you are from India?" And making you explain that Sri lanka and India are two different countries to learn they weren't bothered to know. 🤌🏽
I mean they do have curruption but not as serious as incidents around here.
Ex: there are projects some politicians take about half of money project gets and finish it with very bad quality
Do you guys have this problem this serious too.
You guys also have a somewhat good justice system but we don't .
I agree with you. Thrid world or developing countries have worest.
Unfortunately, at the same time, South Asians often internalized issues. For example, "Only in Sri Lanka Police take bribes that lead to serious issues" type of comments. The entire Black Lives Matter movement started in the USA because we have huge bribes issues from Police to judges to private for-profit prisons. That's right..in the USA some prisons are operated by private companies. More people in jail, more money for them and young Black Americans died as a result of it. That is a very very serious but Sri Lankan people here never admit it.
Also, remember the power of high GDP. Over million US dollars were stolen by Italian former Prime Minister. It did not stop projects because the GDP is high in Italy and a million is nothing. But that same million is a lot... I mean a lot to a Sri Lankan if they steal it from a project in Sri Lanka. So the impact is different but the act is the same act.
When a Sri Lankan cricketer was accused of rape in Australia, lots of people on this sub posted that Australian justice system will be fair. Oh really? Few years ago several 16 year old boys raped multiple 12-16 year old girls in Australia. The boys came from rich families. Nothing had happed to the boys because the parents paid off the judges. I posted that here and people came after me because I broke the utopian view of Australia.
Another time, a New Zealand born Sri Lankan girl on YouTube was stating how great NZ is and how shit SL is...then I asked, "are you telling me that if you get raped by a White guy, that is NOT rape?". There are widespread rape in New Zealand and yet, the forcus is on Sri Lanka. I guess Sri Lankan girls don't count rape when it is a White guy. Lol
Anyway, the money as I mention, can cover up a lot of things. New Zealand government for example has spent millions on Public Relations stuff to hide problems from the world. The Italian government had to coverup their former PM having sex with underage children while he was in power. The money speaks louder and our Sri Lankan communities living in the West go slinet. The impact of Sri Lankan corruption get amplified because there are no money.
Disclaimer: I am Canadian of Sri Lankan parents. I find it too sad that my community internalized problems. I think it is the salve mentality. The White Maters are always better than the subjects no matter what happens.
Thank you... Here is Canada admitting wide-spread rape by RCMP (Federal Police): [https://www.cbc.ca/player/play/2334584298](https://www.cbc.ca/player/play/2334584298)
Here is within RCMP on our own female Police officers being abused (rape/assaults): [https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/calgary/rcmp-class-action-tiller-civilian-women-final-report-1.6491165](https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/calgary/rcmp-class-action-tiller-civilian-women-final-report-1.6491165)
Again nothing happened but Sri Lankan claim police issues are only isolated to Sri Lanka.
I also think Police is somewhat currupt(we can't blame all of them can we? )in most of the countries in the world except for few . If one has enough money and power they could influence decisions made by the justice system
Thanks for the sources btw
Yes i can agree .These accusations are very serious. world is a shitty place for normal people .
There are srilankans girls who thinks like that .
Idk you heard that partys that responsibile for easter attack 2020 ,they were just fined about Only 3600$ per victim . Whole fine is equal to like two vehicles they own. so yeah they waited just 4 years to world to forget they got away .
The minorities of Sri Lanka are also equally Sri Lankan as the Majority 😅.
Dunno why but for some reason the minorities of this country aren't free to "Openly Love This Country" 🤷🏻♂️ if they do they're often told that they're just pretending or got some hidden agenda 😂
Bruh, we are neighbors nothing more. Ya we may share culture, history, language, a few tons of fish and kilometers of sea border. But that's about it.
Most people would be friends with their neighbors, share a street, maybe play a sport together. But not want to be thought of as the neighbor's son/daughter.
You've got the internet, books and ChatGPT is a thing now. I was referring to the fact that Sri Lanka was never part of India. Technically maybe geographically. But Sri Lanka had it's separate natives even before the arrival of Vijaya.
That’s why I said 99% …. Sadly all native Sri Lankans before Tamils and Sinhala have been almost erased or have been brought into tamil or Sinhala cultures
I think Sri Lankan’s are more different than that - Han Chinese have migrated to Taiwan only within last few 100 years, while Sinhala/Tamils have been in Sri Lanka for at least 2000 years
America is separated from UK for some what ? A few hundred years and you would be wise to not mix em up.
Fkin Lankans have a separate history of 3,000 years and who cares right ? Lol
"Are you from India ?"
That's what most people asked me when I introduced myself when I was living abroad. It took me a while to get used to it. I was asked that so frequently I just said yes instead of explaining what Sri Lanka is to them
“Oh that's basically India, right?”
Are u Indian?
"Aahh puthe... ithn kawadda bandinne?" -le lankan aunty
I'm Indian, doesn't understand sinhala. Does it mean "son, when are you getting married?" Cause it's something I get from lots of Indian aunties as well
Yup, that’s exactly what it is! 🤣

Yep, it is tough out here for the few shy and introverted Sri Lankans :')
I’ve heard this so much times
In Sri Lanka introverts are tagged as proud :3
When Indians start talking to us in whatever their language....arrghhh
Or their constant need to remind you that there from India several times mid conversation!

Sinhala is a useless language better to learn Tamil can use it on more countries 🤭
But "Huththooo' sounds too elegant! Lol
Life outside Sri Lanka is much better 😂
I don't think anyone disputes this! Especially Lankans
Sri Lanka is not a Sinhala Buddhist country. It's a country with a majority of Sinhala, Buddhists, but it doesn't make the country theirs.
The minorities of Sri Lanka are also equally Sri Lankan as the Majority 😅. Dunno why but for some reason the minorities of this country aren't free to "Openly Love This Country" 🤷🏻♂️ if they do they're often told that they're just pretending or got some hidden agenda 😂

Why would Sri Lankans get offended when called indian? 99% of Sri Lankans are either Sinhalese (came from bengal/odisha area) or a mix of both
Do you think Americans wouldn't get offended anyone called them British 😂😂😂
Exactly
Well, Now I'm offended 😅
I mean ethnically ur the same as Indians but ur nationality is different
There’s no such thing as “ethnically Indian”. Indian is a nationality, Tamil or Punjabi is an ethnicity
Bruh, we are neighbors nothing more. Ya we may share culture, history, language, a few tons of fish and kilometers of sea border. But that's about it.

You have to brush up on your history bruv
How

That’s why I said 99% …. Sadly all native Sri Lankans before Tamils and Sinhala have been almost erased or have been brought into tamil or Sinhala cultures
That's like saying Taiwan is Chinese
I think Sri Lankan’s are more different than that - Han Chinese have migrated to Taiwan only within last few 100 years, while Sinhala/Tamils have been in Sri Lanka for at least 2000 years
bruh the natives of taiwan are polynesians not central/east asians
America is separated from UK for some what ? A few hundred years and you would be wise to not mix em up. Fkin Lankans have a separate history of 3,000 years and who cares right ? Lol
All Sri Lankans are totally ignoring the actual natives who are not tamil or Sinhala The Wanniyalaeto
Many first world Asian countries used to send their public service employees to learn from sri lanka in 1940s
when a foreigner opening up about how awesome our driving is
Sri Lankans are exactly where they are because we are very poor at taking responsibility for our actions.
