Educational Background Toward Crimes in Sri Lanka (1948 – 1970)

Educational policies of Prime Minister S. W. R. D. Bandaranaike were not liked by Christian community. Education and employment opportunities for many Tamil youth were limited after the enactment of Sinhala Only Act. Sirimavo Bandaranaike tried to reduce the invasion of Christian missions over Sri Lankan education system. She nationalized most of the private schools and stopped state subsidies to remaining private schools.

College of Advanced Technology in Katubedda in 1956, University of Vidyodaya in 1958, University of Vidyalankara in 1959, and the Colombo campus of the University of Ceylon in 1967 were established to expand the education system. By the mid 0f 1960s, examinations were conducted in Sinhala and Tamil languages to expand the admissions for universities, but with the problem of lack of funds, by the late 1960s, admissions were decreased. Sinhalese were majorly defeated from this problem. This defeat led to 1971 JVP riots, as a result of frustration.

Until two decades after independence, Hindu and Christians held the majority of secondary education and university programs, but with the handling of government goes to Sinhalese continuously, Tamils lost their government service opportunities. They began to strength their educational capacity over science and medicine and gradually Tamils held the majority in those fields. When Sinhala Bachelor of Arts students were being disrupted by changes in the labor market, Tamil science students were embarking on lucrative professional careers. As a result, it became a major political problem as Sinhalese started riots to reduce the numbers of Tamil students in science and medical faculties.

Strangulation: A Comprehensive Guide

Strangulation is a form of asphyxiation that occurs when the neck is compressed or twisted tightly enough to prevent air and blood from flowing properly to the brain and lungs. Even a brief period of oxygen deprivation can lead to serious brain damage or death. In this article, we'll explore the different types of strangulation and their associated signs and symptoms. Hanging Hanging is a type of strangulation that occurs when a person's body is suspended by a ligature that encircles the neck, with the weight of the body acting as the restricting force. The most definitive indication of death by hanging is the ligature mark on the neck. This is an impression of a loop on the skin of the neck that creates a groove in the underlying tissues. The mark is typically oblique and is found between the chin and larynx. In partial hanging cases, a horizontal ligature mark may be observed when the body leans forward. One high-profile case of hanging that made headlines in Sri Lanka was th

The Positivist Theory of Crime: Analyzing Crime from a Biological Point of View

Crime has been a prevalent issue in society for centuries, and people have been trying to understand its causes and how to prevent it. One of the most controversial and disputed theories regarding the origins of crime is the Positivist Theory. As we enter the modern age, we come across more positivists who have analyzed crime from an anthropological point of view following in the footsteps of Lombroso in 1876 such as Kretschmer in 1925, and Hooten in 1939 and William H. Sheldon (1898–1977). Ernst Kretschmer, a German psychiatrist, attempted to link body types with personality characteristics and mental illness. He proposed four body types: Pyknik, Asthenic, Athletic, and Dysplastic. Pyknik types are short and heavily built with a social and cheerful temperament but are prone to manic-depressive psychopathology. Asthenic types are tall and thin with underdeveloped muscles, irritable, and lost in fantasy, with a schizoid temperament. Athletic types are muscular, with a well-built body bu
