A Quote by Chamath Palihapitiya

I was born in Sri Lanka. — © Chamath Palihapitiya
I was born in Sri Lanka.
India deliberately aggravated Sri Lanka's ethnic crisis. It destabilized Sri Lanka [by training and arming Tamil militants, including the Tigers] so that it could play a dominant role in bringing Sri Lanka within its sphere of influence.
An economically peaceful and prosperous Sri Lanka is the dream of youth of the nation. My message for the youth is to collectively work for an inclusively developed Sri Lanka.
I have a restaurant in Sri Lanka, and I feel keen to open up something here in Mumbai and bring Sri Lankan food here in India. I feel we have so much in common, but we have a different cuisine, and I am sure people will enjoy here.
On a personal level, I think the political situation in Sri Lanka is very much on the mind of Sri Lankans in Canada. They have family here and family back home, and it's possible they've lost members in any one of those tremendous, unbearable events there.
Sri Lanka's interpretation of western cuisine is pretty diabolical. Sri Lankan food itself is ace, however, and they bloody love a buffet. Even if you go to a basic-looking cafe, they can knock up four or five different curries for you very quickly.
A lot of the Indian supporters would have been born in Birmingham, have Birmingham accents. It is my home city as well. Second, third generations from the sub-continent still support India, Pakistan and Sri Lanka.
Every Sri Lankan, and almost every visitor to Sri Lanka, carries a longing for the place in some small form - hiraeth, the Welsh call it - wherever they go and whatever their background. It binds them however much the war and politics might try to divide them.
In Sri Lanka a well-told lie is worth a thousand facts.
No player can represent Sri Lanka in future without good fitness levels
Please pray with me for everyone in Sri Lanka and the Philippines as I begin my trip.
My writing has been shaped by the three countries - Sri Lanka, the Philippines and England - I have lived in.
'Madras Cafe' is set against the backdrop of the civil war in Sri Lanka in the 1990s.
I realised in Sri Lanka that my dream of playing in a World Cup was a bridge too far.
I'm a Canadian citizen. But I always want to feel at home in Sri Lanka. I'm a member of both countries.
A few countries like Sri Lanka and Honduras have led the way in slashing maternal mortality.
When I was growing up, I don't think I knew any other child who had been out of Sri Lanka.
