He is very interested in what do they talk. I'm trying to tell him summary of it. I finished it 103 seconds. (transcript) If Sri Lanka did not exist, maybe our country was not like contemporary Japan. Sri lanka is consisted islands and population is 20 millions. Major industries are teas and rubbers. We feel this country is far from us. However, probably We were treated with different way unless it was bravery behaviour of Sri Lanka. Sri Lanka was a colony of Holand, Portugal etc around 500 years. and it started to rule of Britain in 18's century. (An British guy): "You will make rubbers for Britain." Their rich nature was burned for profit of Britain. And it was build huge factories for rubbers and large farm for tea. They were deprived their own ground by Britain and they were worked with low wages. More over, (an British guy): "You don't have to come to schools. Use your body only." (The other British guy): "Yeah."(over bearingly) They disrobbed right of education also and their culture was getting lost. Then, world war II was started. (An British guy): "Fight for Britain." People were involved in the war as British soldiers. On the other hand, Japan was marching to Southeast Asia. And fighting very hard with the allied Forces.
