Sometime in mid seventies, as a junior school student in  RJS I was assigned to collect data for a debate. I got annual tea production (export) details from tea control department for previous 10 years.  I cant remember the exact details, but production was going up gradually until the land reform commission send all British planters packing. The very next year, production was less than half compare to the previous year, and  gone down further during next couple of years . Not only that, all these Tamil tea estate workers never demand anything from British planters. They may get treated like slaves, but look at the problems they are creating now ??</blockquote>
