"2.3 million children in Sri Lanka need urgent aid—not because we don't grow enough, but because we don't manage enough."

In this episode, Dhanuka Dickwella breaks down the alarming reality of Sri Lanka's food security. While the government manages immediate crises, the long-term survival of the nation depends on addressing a "colossal" problem: Waste.

Did you know that nearly 40% of our vegetables and fruits are lost before they even reach your plate? From crop destruction by wild animals to primitive transport methods that turn fresh produce into "solid waste," we are literally throwing away our future.

In this video, we explore the roadmap out of this crisis:

• The Logistics Revolution: Using the Railway as a "Cold Chain" backbone to bypass traffic and waste.

• The Monkey & Peacock Conflict: How to manage Rs. 20 Billion in annual crop damage without destroying the ecosystem.

• Hub-and-Spoke Distribution: Transforming cities like Kurunegala and Aluthgama into smart gathering points.

The "Steel" of our economy is our agriculture; the "Silk" is the intelligence with which we move it. It’s time to stop the leak.

"Until the lions have their historians, tales of the hunt shall always glorify the hunter."For centuries, the story of the Ramayana has been told through the eyes of the great poet Valmiki. But what if we’ve been looking at the legend through the wrong lens? In this video, Dhanuka Dickwella dives into a provocative exploration of the Ramayana, moving beyond religious mythology to examine it as a potential history of advanced technology and lost civilizations.We explore the shift in the Sri Lankan narrative—from viewing Ravana as an "evil king" to reclaiming him as a brilliant ancestor and a badge of national pride.Topics covered in this episode:The Technology of the Gods: Were the Brahmastra and Gandharvastra ancient nukes and psychotronic weapons?The Geopolitical Puzzle: How did Shurpanakha reach Nashik if Ravana only ruled a small island?The Butterfly Effect of Narrative: How the internet generation is shaking up a thousand-year-old story.The Nuclear Island: Did a prehistoric WMD encounter sever Sri Lanka from the mainland?It’s time to ask the hard questions: Was the Ramayana a simple tale of good vs. evil, or the distorted memory of a global catastrophe?Read the full article here: https://dhanukadickwella.com/ravana-vs-valmiki-reclaiming-lions-history#KingRavana #Ramayana #AncientTechnology #SriLankaHistory #Valmiki #AlternativeHistory #DhanukaDickwella #SilkAndSteel

Is a local tea shop more powerful than a Presidential Palace?The Kremlin, the White House, or the Vatican are known centers of power. But there is a smaller, more pervasive nerve center that changes the course of history every single day: the village tea shop.In this episode, we explore the Tea Shop Butterfly Effect. While a tea shop owner may not have a "red button" for nuclear missiles, they hold the ecosystem where revolutions are born. From the "postman’s break point" to the "policeman’s information center," the tea shop is the grassroots hub where opinions are forged, wars are endorsed, and taxes are ultimately accepted or rejected.Whether it’s a sugary plain tea in a dusty village or a Matcha latte in a sleek city boutique, the conversations held here create the ripples that become hurricanes in the corridors of power.In this video, Dhanuka Dickwella discusses:The "Tea Shop Ecosystem" as a civil power center.How ordinary dialogue fuels nationalism, patriotism, and rebellion.Why any leader who ignores the "tea shop crowd" is destined to become a footnote in history.#Geopolitics #ChaosTheory #TeaShopPower #SocialChange #DhanukaDickwella #ButterflyEffect #Grassroots
