Sri Lanka had foreign relations with various countries since ancient times. The Buddhist culture took root in its relations with India. The introduction of Buddhism in the BC third century was a turning point in Sri Lanka-Kalinga relations. The majority of people in Sri Lanka consider Kalinga’s Odisha as their homeland. Kalinga Magha has been portrayed in Sinhalese literature as cruel and non-Kalinga, in Sri Lankan history up to the present. However, the recent discovery of the Gomarankadawala Inscription (Trincomalee District) mentions Kalinga Magha as a native of the Kalinga country. In this

A major food contamination scandal occurred in Sri Lanka in 2013 after it was alleged that Fonterra dairy products contained chemicals known to have a negative effect on human health. This crisis was influenced by unique factors that, I argue, are particular to the social and cultural context of Sri Lanka. In this article, I will be focusing on several such factors: (a) specific considerations about the Sri Lankan dairy industry; (b) the growing influence of the worship of the deity Kiri Amma, a god that is associated uniquely with dairy and dairy production; (c) the common belief that milk po

More specifically, in order to enhance job results in the modelling industry, academics are starting to look into how companies manage emotions.
