Population of Sri Lanka

Following was an interesting picture I found on population on Sri Lanka. I managed to get this picture from online edition of Daily Mirror


Following points should be noted from this picture

• Increase in female population. This could be attributed to the ethnic conflict we having for more than 25 year and death of young people specially men due 2 JVP led insurgencies in early 1970s and late 1980s.
  
• Sri lanka is economically depending on 2 of the most populous giants of world. Namely China and India. In future we will have to manage relationship with these competing giants very carefully because antagonizing either one will have serious consequences economically as militarily.
