Sri Lanka now lies in a depth of a deep abyss not so easy to recover from. The health crisis caused by COVID-19 pandemic is one of the major crises faced by Sri Lanka. The collapse of the socio-political system is another. The bankruptcy of the country caused by the inability to repay foreign loans is yet another crisis. All these crises are interconnected, and mutually affecting each other.
Under the circumstances Sri Lanka can be considered as a country that has failed completely. A country could reach such a situation only when there is a complete breakdown of the critical intellect of the society of the country. My observation in this regard can be confirmed in terms of the indicators used internationally, to measure the level of intelligence of a country.
However, discussing the international indicators would result in lengthening this article, and as such I will opt to talk about an important factor that has hugely contributed to the failure of Sri Lanka, which has not received the attention it deserves.
