The answer is a loud no. There is absolutely no earthly reason why Uva and North Central Provinces (for instance) should remain poor; two of the poorest provinces. But it highlights a stubborn economic reality of Sri Lanka and why it can never succeed in the economic front. Just imagine for a second that these two provinces were two independent nations. Both provinces earn huge amounts of foreign currency through tourism thanks to ancient Sinhala kings and Mother Nature.

For over a decade, setting up a digital storefront in Sri Lanka followed a predictable playbook. If you were a small business or an independent entrepreneur, you turned to WordPress and WooCommerce.

Nearly four and a half centuries of continuous subjugation under three separate West European imperial powers, namely, Portugal, Holland or Netherlands, and England from 1505 to 1948 served to increasingly conceal the indigeneity of the Sinhalese to their historic island home known as Sihela/Sinhale. The original inhabitants of Sihela who came to be called Sinhalas (Sinhalese in English) in historical times are almost certainly a racial amalgam of at least four different indigenous tribes, namely, Yaksha, Deva, Naga, and Raksha mentioned in traditional chronicles such as the Dipavansa and the Mahavansa.
