@@Thamilnilavan_Muthulingam why 😡

Hindu

Absolutely! Instead of showing their gratitude, few imbeciles are whining and whinging about racist commentary of the narrator. Stupid idiots have no clue about the value of these rare documentaries.

@@ddandrews825 alive dude ?

@காந்தள் - Kaanthal lol okay , what about Vedas ?? , Don't say shit if you don't know bro

Very racist. Love and peace from Trinidad

Well the irrigation civilizations were not destroyed by westerners but by northerners from the Pandyan dynasty, way before the westerners came

No counting is not correct i guess

No no

Dude, alive ?

Alive ?

@@reid9584 yes both black white, asian and arabic people all practiced slavery, Are we allowed to judge that or does your moral relativism still apply?. Or are you one of those self hating white people that think slavery is bad only if white people do it? genuinely curious here coming from a Sri Lankan.

Reid Nixon every nation or race is guilty of slavery pal! In fact it was the British that were the first people to ever outlaw and abolish slavery, throughout the world, and they are the reason it was banned everywhere, this was in 1807, no other nation had ever done that before!

CaseClosedTV it's great to here that coming from a Sri Lankan. I've have been to that beautiful country and I loved every minute of it! My great great uncle was based there after the war in Trincomalee in the RN. I am frankly tired of the fact the world has simply become a black and white! More so than in the past, where whites aren't allowed to acknowledge their successes or achievements and we are constantly put down for some things our ancestors may have done. Because slavery is the guilt of every race and contrary to popular belief the whites weren't the only people to do it, nor were they the worst but it's only bad if whites do it I suppose! And we are also always told that the Empire was only a bad thing and that we should be ashamed of everything we did(we should be ashamed of some things of course) and that everyone in the ex colonies hates us. What's your opinion on the British and the Empire? Do you recognise the good it did, as well as the bad? Do you think it was beneficial? It would just interesting to hear your opinions!

​@@keithwatson1384 Your great uncle was part of the greatest generation and his (along with everyone else who served) services are greatly appreciated. In regards to my opinion on the British Empire, I really do find it difficult to quantify its "effects" into black and white categories like good and bad. Keep in mind England weren't the sole colonisers of Sri Lanka with both Portugal and Dutch preceding. My opinion admittedly is not very unique in that I believe it was both bad and good. Because of colonisation Sri lanka lost a large portion of its ancient cultural identity with modern Sinhalese (the defacto Sri lankan language) itself turning into a part Sinhalese, English and Spanish hybrid Creole. But in saying that I must also admit because of colonisation we gained a whole host of infrastructure upgrades and advances (for the time period of course) in technology. I like to look at history while firmly keeping human nature in mind. It is in our nature to conquer and colonisation is only a byproduct of that basal human desire. I mean if we are being honest this very desire made us put a man on the moon. To forever blame and damn today's white people while ignoring every other race and their dimilar doings is frankly dumb and i honestly believe it does more harm than good to us Sri Lankans (and whoever else would be in a similar situation). Unless you havent noticed already im not a fan of the "perpetual victim mentality" being peddled by todays media snake oil salesmen lol. You should visit again soon! the war is over and Sri Lanka has never looked better for tourism!

CaseClosedTV God bless you, friend. It’s reassuring to see fair-mindedness presiding even in a place as far from the drama of America and Europe as Sri Lanka. I hope to visit your beautiful country in the near future.

Yeah

@harry perera 😂

Not really

Alive bro ?

May be

What racist and demeaning tone? Please point it out? Post the time stamp here where he displays that alleged racist and demeaning tone, please.

The whole damn video is one racist rant id you ask me. Wish it was a silent movie.

MrPrimus101 Well, I didn't ask you particularly, but somebody else. Anyhow, empty half witted claims don't make it to anywhere unless you can point out which statement in where it shows racist comments about sri lankan people, in particular sinhalese people. But, if you're or the other fella who made half witted claim are by any chance black skinned white men, or ones who try hard to be ones, then your comment makes perfect sense to me, 'cos non of you half witted black butted people would want anything to do with your roots or who you really are. FYI, sri lankans should pay their gratitude to these american early documentary makers to going to all the trouble to document the history of country nearly hundred years ago, using film. These are rare gems of historical value. I guess for ignoramus' like you, it won't matter.

Sounds like a whole lot of butt hurt. Upset that some 'brown butts' hatin' on your 'white mastah's? :) Gratitude? Really? YOu must be out of your mind or smokes some real good stuff. Shoooo... go away. Go crawl back inside your white mastah's rear end, please.

MrPrimus101 Why don't point out what racist rants in there you stupid dimwit? While you whining & whinging about non existing racist rants in the documentary, I bet you worship white asses to make your living. Am I right?

Are you alive bro ?

hewwel fishing in sri lanka

Not always. Please read the history. Even British had control over the Jaffna. Most of the time it's under one country. And always will be.
