Why India afraid of Sri Lankans ?

I was flabbergasted to read following when I accidentally came across following headlines in one of the local newspapers recently.
  1. .     With tourists in mind, India relaxes visa norms,
  2.        Protest after Manipur girl is raped in Delhi,
  3.       Court orders arrest of ex-health minister in sexual assault case,
  4. .     Kejriwal to “go to any extent” for Lokpal bill,
  5.       Devyani seeks dismissal of visa fraud case in US court.
Needless to say,as a Sri Lankan, I was aghast to learn that we are not so welcomed in India as we are not included from the list of 180 countries that have been granted relaxed visa facility.

I am equally amazed as to why are they (Indians) so afraid of Sri Lankans, 
  1. where women are being raped in broad day light in their capital city; 
  2. fraudsters are being given diplomatic immunity to carry on with their nefarious activities etc etc are daily occurrence in that land.  
Given their track records, I believe that Sri Lanka should be the one to be on the defensive, not the Indians.

Who Will Tame the Beasts on Our Roads?

Sri Lanka's public road transport has long been a menace on the roads. For decades, citizens have endured the daily trauma of riding in filthy, overcrowded, and dangerously maintained buses, often driven by men who appear to treat roads like racetracks. Public transport, instead of being a symbol of convenience and safety, has mutated into a moving hazard. What’s worse is the widespread sense of impunity that emboldens such behaviour. Passengers are neither treated with dignity nor transported with care. Many are forced to cling to handrails for dear life, endure ear-splitting music, and inhale noxious exhaust fumes. Add to that the daily reports of reckless overtaking, red-light jumping, and frequent collisions, and it becomes painfully clear: the system is broken. The Sri Lanka Police, tasked with upholding road safety, appears more interested in extracting bribes than enforcing the law. Traffic violations go unchecked, and in the rare event that a serious accident draws medi...

Unleashing Sri Lanka’s Stock Market: The Case for Lowering Barriers for Young Investors

Image
Sri Lanka stands at a critical economic crossroads. After weathering a historic financial crisis, the country is showing robust signs of recovery, with GDP growth outpacing expectations and a rebound driven by strong performances in industry and services. Yet, beneath this recovery lies a persistent challenge: a significant portion of the population-especially the youth-remains vulnerable, with poverty rates still alarmingly high and household incomes lagging behind pre-crisis levels. The Promise of the Stock Market in a Low-Interest, High-Inflation Environment With benchmark interest rates at 8% and inflation recently turning negative due to energy price cuts but expected to rise again, traditional savings offer limited protection against the eroding power of inflation. For young Sri Lankans seeking to build wealth and secure their financial futures, the stock market presents a compelling alternative. By investing in regular dividend-paying and growth-oriented shares, individual...
