Sri Lankaโ€™s Government

The President is elected separately by the people in the election, the Prime Minister the leader of the party with the most seats in Parliament. The Prime Minister is also head of the Parliament. I didnโ€™t explain this well enough in the other bill, and as such I am technically both President and PM of Sri Lanka, not just PM.

Private medical college and free education. People are spending over 1 crore and even 2.5 crore per student for private unis in foreign countries, which can be saved if private unis were implemented by government in Sri Lanka

(Ps for clarification of the topic :- 1 crore =10million. ) First of all , I need to state that I'am totally against institutes like SAITM, problem is these people don't even let any sort of private uni with the required standards to be implemented , saying "upadi kada")People can't understand what free education was meant to be. It was the freedom for education, not that only education which is free must exist. According to many government uni students, private education will always mean they will be not as quality as the education they receive from Gov Uni, yet they are pretty much in 1001-1200 world rankings in medicine. They claim that there won't be a possibility of a good quality medical Colleges and will ruin free education. (Which won't even make sense) These people will cry out their lungs even if the unis were implemented by Government itself without a proper logic. With the current state of education in Sri Lanka, al bio students won't be able to get good marks enough to get into local unis if they won't be a human parrot and do the same set of past papers again and again. Not to mention , students from private schools won't be able to enter local unis if they haven't written the local ap exams. Many students would like to learn in Sri Lanka while being around with their loved ones including parents. But these jealous buggers have really abolished our right to learn in our own country.People with critical thinking and analytical skills won't be able to write their own answer as the answers they expect are meant to be written as they are in the resource books. How can someone with analytical skills be able to learn by heart? And as a result, many people who are just seeing this job aste schools won't be able to enter local unis an opportunity to overcome their poverty are the ones who come to the field, not the ones who are genuinely interested in studying medicine and serving patients. And as a result money minded doctors will be the only ones left in this country. Majority of the medical students' sole purpose of being a doctor is seeing this as a great money maker and the occupant being an honourable occupation in Sri Lanka.

Not to mention there are very low quality medical colleges which are being accepted by slmc. What about those students if the quality of education was the problem? Even they are costing more than a crore because of the increased usd rate. Whatever , what I can see is them feeling threatened by the influx of doc

JVP Revolt (1971)

The Janatha Vimukthi Peramuna (JVP) Revolt began on this day in 1971 and was the first armed revolt by the communist JVP against the Government of Ceylon (now Sri Lanka), under Prime Minister Sirimavo Bandaranaike.

The JVP was initiated by Rohana Wijeweera (shown above), a former medical student ex-functionary of the Maoist Ceylon Communist Party. The group was explicitly revolutionary, eschewing electoralism, and drew recruits from economically alienated youth. In 1970, Wijeweera was arrested following unruly anti-Vietnam War protests in front of the U.S embassy, and JVP launched the 1971 armed rebellion shortly afterward, while its founder was still imprisoned.

The revolt began on April 5th, 1971 and lasted until June of that year. The insurgents were able to capture and hold several towns and rural areas for several weeks until they were recaptured by the armed forces. The official death toll was listed as 1,200, however other accounts estimate the deaths to be around 4,000 - 5,000 people. The rebellion led to Ceylon severing ties with North Korea, which it accused of supporting the JVP.

In 1987, the JVP launched another armed rebellion, this one sustained for three years and involving guerrilla warfare and political assassinations. According to Dr. Rohan Gunaratna's research, in this second rebellion, the JVP killed approximately 200 people, including politicians, academics, and military officers, between 1987 and 1990. In contrast, the total death toll of 35,000 - 60,000 is mostly due to violence perpetrated by state-sponsored death squads.
