Are We Ready to Inject AI to Our Economy? – By Nisal Ruksha A hustle-bustle lifestyle with various types of role-play makes humans busy and stressed.

Brain Draining Pearl – By Nisal Rukshan A state’s economy can significantly influence its population. The economic stability of a country relies on salient factors including, labour, taxation, human resources, income distribution, political status, policies & strategies of the government, education system, usage of technology, the contribution of the state sector and private sector, the trade balance (the difference in country’s imports and exports of goods and services), unemployment, infrastructure, wages, inflation etc. However, in times of economic upheaval or political instability, a country’s development growth can be hindered and such a situation can lead to unrest among citizens.

When such efforts have become futile, the road to struggle will automatically open up. That results in a high rate of brain drain aka substantial emigration among any population.

Fernando Since Sri Wickremara Ranasinghe became King of Senkadagala (Kandy), many conflicts existed between the elite and society. When it became so aggressive to take revenge in April 1802, there was an incident in British-occupied Puttalam, where a Muslim group was battered, and their belongings were seized with the help of Pilimathala Chief Adikam using Ceylonese lots.

Simultaneously, the Dutch were fighting for their independence against the British. On January 05, 1782, Under Admiral Sir Edmond Fuse of the Navy sent a contingent and a walking platoon, to the up-county, with the help of Commander Lord Hector Senadipathy (Admiral), who held the position of the Governor of ...
