by Nandana Weeraratna from London

(December, 11, London, Sri Lanka Guardian) Booker destroyed 85,000 acres that form part of the famous Yala sanctuary, a preserve in which elephants fight for land in Sri Lanka. In 1985, the corporation bought the land, only to desert it in 1990 once the land proved not to be fertile for the purposes of cane surger. Unfortunately, greed begets greed: now Booker is demanding another 65,000 acres from the same poverty-stricken Uva province in order to grow cane sugar, in the same site in which a rare herbal forest garden was planted by Buddadhasa, the first Sri Lankan Ayurveda doctor-king.

World leading cane sugar producer, emerging coming from British colonial trade is not An English Patient of declining British tempera but A God of Big Things in foreign investment hungry former colonies was told by a Sri Lankan left wing parliamentarian Samantha Vidyarathne on 02nd December at Feltham Assembly hall at London-Hounslow.

Ex- deputy minister of agriculture and irrigation further said literary award champion Booker Tate International has getting more and more aggressive after globalization started. He linked Booker with VOC [Dutch East India Company] and EIC [British India Company] that colonized Sri Lanka between 16th 19th centuries behalf of Dutch and British imperialism. “European colonizers destroyed half of the rain forest of Sri Lanka with in 350 years for cinnamon, tea, rubber and oil farm plantations. But human history could not stop these kind of criminal activities against nature still even we facing global worming. He him self a native son of Sri Lanka- Vadda community said his community will fight to protect their land until their last man a lived like his ancestors-Uva rebels who fought against British in 1818 to protect their independency and suppressed to last tribal man.
