Ceylon s Twisted Social Evolution


Ceylon's Twisted Social Evolution THE insurrection against the Government of Ceylon organised by educated unemployed youth groups has been jokingly called a revolution against a revolution and a Left-wing threat to a Left-wing government. Such quips have a deeper clement of truth than the quipsters realise. This element is related to the peculiarly aristocratic background of the Leftist leaders in power, the welfare policies inaugurated in Ceylon long before a socialistic government came to power and the inhibited nature of Ceylon's social evolution.
