Lol you are surely mistaken, Sri Lanka was a lawless POS back then, remember 1983 Black July? 71' and the 89 JVP insurrections? The whole civil war? IPKF fighting in the north? R. Premadasa's and JR's state sponsored assassinations? And the entire economic crisis from around the mid 60's to early 80's where food was rationed? Not to say that Sri Lanka is a heaven nowadays but at least now death, destruction and famine isn't commonplace. Ceylon's real glory days were quite likely before the 11th Century, better wish for those time haha.

TBH nothing much has changed, just high rise buildings, newer cars, marginally sanitation improvements. Politicians was and still be stealing from the middle and poor giving it to their higher class friends who keep them in power. The tight grip religious leaders got on people is also gotten worst. That's why Sri Lanka was and is still a breeding ground for religious corruption with space for new radical religions like Jehovah and Jerome's begin. People are way too blind and has so much faith in religion. Forget culture, religion and history. Work towards improving oneself. Think over everything. But that's too much to ask from a Sri Lankan.
