As a tourist as well as a human being I am very sad to read many of the comments about Kattankudy on this video. I know the unfortunate history of the Easter Sunday attacks, but even more than that is seeing how divided Sri Lanka still is. I hope and pray for peace for all of Sri Lanka and its people. This is not a political channel or video. My goal is to see and show all of Sri Lanka and it's diverse culture, people, food, and places.

These comments aren't ideal, i agree. However one needs to know the place these come from. It has so much more to do than with the Easter Attacks. The people here and politicians have illegally taken lands that belonged to Tamils, during the war. Today they exploit labour in disgusting ways. If you'd speak to the people of old, you would understand. In my time working amongst the war affected Tamil villagers, I've learnt many sad stories. I cannot speak in detail as to whats happened to the Sinhala villages in the region, but i wont be surprised if its no different. Like i said before, Its very important to identify where and why the hate comes from. Understanding both sides of the coin helps put things in perspective and understand emotions better. As mentioned above, they've changed road names, etc and made it more Arabian. Ironic, especially seeing as many of them are of Indian descent yet clain to be otherwise. Many more shady doings have been going on in this town. However i agree that its an unfair generalization What many dont know is that it was a Muslim school master who identified some terrorists and that some Muslim communities had been protesting the extremism since 2017, which would fall on deaf ears.. Its human nature to be biased towards one's community, or in this case against. This produces a sociological dilemma for tourists such as yourself. If u do want to get the total picture then its best that you speak to all relevant parties, in this case, the communities in the region. Seeing as you're in the East, it might e best to speak to Tamils who've lived there all their lives and get their perspective on the matter. You'd be surprised to find a similar trend in the north West regions of SL like Mannar Also ask yourself why the other community in SL are against these Eastern communities? There has to be a reason, especially when they get on better than expected in other regions. Enough politicization- do try the famous Kathankudy soup if u can. It comes in a HUGE bowl, almost basin like, has a mutton leg in it and is laced with "herbs" ;)

Just saying. before Europeans started ruling us, all the minorities in our nation were following their culture. kings were never a hindrance for that. They followed their culture and mingled with other cultures by protecting theirs. They were never divided. We had no of tamil kings.Muslims have always been part of administration in the ancient Sri lanka. It was after Europeans we divided. They started schools based on religions and chased the muslims who were living in the coastal part of Sri lanka . King Senarath was generous enough to give muslims a land in Kandy, which is called Akurana now and some of them were settled in the eastern part of sri lanka. Sri lanka geographically divided based on religions after british. It was never in our blood to hate, we are following the British by all these hatred and racist comments. If u seriously want to follow your kings, then they accepted diversity. And kattankudy people tried their maximum to avoid easter attacks. they even protested against zaharan and filed a complain against him, but the authorities never took any actions against him. If you are blaming us for easter attcks, then i'm reminding yall, if there werent any attacks against muslims, there would not have been any easter attacks. By your racist comments dont prove the foreigners we are same as rest of south asia, bcs they think we are some sort of a civilized kind than rest of them. The christians who were affected by this easter attack, they dont show much hatred the way the Buddhists do. I would say it was muslims and christians were affected by this the most. You have no idea as a muslim student how much i suffered. I was asked to remove my school bag when i got inside the bus, bcs the conductor said he was scared that i might carry bombs. The institution were way beyond that. We did what we can do regarding the easter attack it was authorities who never took heed of us. our first choice is love and not hate. we are taught hatred by the society.

In my opinion this place Kattankudy is an extremist place.... check their attire, Srilankan muslims in Gold olden days NEVER wore abbaya , our muslim friend's mothers wore a saree & covered their heads with the same saree and muslim sisters always wore a shalwar kameez and a shawl to cover there hair. So from WHERE did this Abbaya culture & Palm trees come from SUDDENLY and WHY??? why bring other country's culture when we have had our own Srilanka n Muslim culture for centuries.... Anyways, Keep going Johhny & keep walking in srilanka and discover the pearl islands beauty.

A small question the way I see sinhales sisters wearing dress these days same as 10 years ago or 20 years ago? Where the mini skirt came from? When the tight t shirts arrived? When bubs and casino became part of the Sri Lankan culture? The tradition and trend changes all the time. From my understanding they feel comfortable with Abaya. I remember my mum wore saree long time ago and now she is on Abaya I asked her many times why? She said it's comforting and easy to put on. And deep down in Islamic teaching the beauty of the woman only for her husband not for everyone in the street. We don't have typical architecture for our country brother we been colonized by almost everyone that's why we have Indian, English, Portugal, French and Arabic architecture patterns in our country. There is nothing wrong to introduce a good tree to our country. We cannot plant coconut or Mango trees in middle of the street it will for sure damage some vehicles and heads. And Dates are really good for the health.

You can see the hatred and racism in SriLanka. From the outside, it’s friendly to tourists but among each other there’s a lot of bickering and finger pointing. SriLanka has extremists from all religions, Zahran for Muslims, the BBS monks for Buddhists and the LTTE for Tamils. It’s unfortunate, but it is what it is.

Dear Sri Lankans, if you comment saying that Johnny shouldn't visit this particular place in your country and ask him to leave that place as you say it's not safe, why would you go to real Abu Dhabi or Middle East countries to earn money? Not being racisr but pease look at things open mindedly before commenting. And I see you're suspicious about this area after the Easter attack but one thing to understand is that the attack and its preparation were constantly informed and complained to the police time to time by the same muslim people you're calling terrorists today. The police and the government didn't take it seriously, nor did they take necessary actions to prevent the heinous attack. If you have a difficulty in understanding that every individual is different, then it's your problem. Categorising people or labelling all with the same due to one person's or group's actions, isn't something a wise chooses to do. I do condemn the attack in every way possible but treat a person for his actions not for that of a group. Those who kill (regardless the reason) should not be a cause to accuse everyone because they share something similar. Such a notion only shows the lack of understanding. Finally, don't shelter hatred or suspicion in your heart. A heart that desires peace wouldn't tolerate any form of hate speech or racism. Finally, Sri Lanka is a Buddhist nation, and Buddha has taught the way of life and lead your life that way or even better while also being vigilant to prevent any other heinous crimes from taking place and treating everybody fairly by judging everyone by their OWN actions ONLY. NOBODY IS RESPONSIBLE FOR THE OTHER PERSON'S ACTIONS UNLESS IT'S A CHILD WHO NEEDS A GUARDIAN! Peace!

Middle east countries are not yours. Arabic people owned that countries and yes they are muslims too. But I don't know why this muslim people in Sri Lanka proud of these Middle east countries. That's makes me so funny. Any middle east country never giving Citizenship to any other nations even those nations are also muslims. How many pakistan, bangladesh , indian muslim people working in UAE, Qatar, Oman, Bahrain , Kuwait but they don't have chance to get a Citizenship of those countries. That's the truth. Then don't make this stupid argument again. If you proud of middle east just leave this country.

I think, All Racists in Sri Lanka, came here in this comment section. Kattankudy is a friendly area, All ethno religious people of Sri Lanka visit Kattankudy every year and the town will be crowded by the people of other parts of Sri Lanka. Kattankudy beach will be full of tourists during holidays. All those Racists lie about this town, may have never been to Kattankudy. And they say about Zahran, Zahran was escaped from Kattanduy in 2016 and hiding somewhere else in Sri Lanka. He was an outlaw bcz of his extrmist views. Why didn't the police capture and arrest him during 2017? The people of Kattankudy didn't like Zahran and the leaders of Kattankudy filed a complaint about him at the Kattankudy Police station in 2017 (Easter attacks happend in 2019). During that period he was no longer lived in Kattankdy and never returned. But you Racists never talk the truth! All religions of Sri Lanka has some Extremists and Racists people. Don't forget the fact that the 30 years of war between Tamils and Sinhalese happend bcz of Racism and extremism; and Don't forget How many innocent people lost their lives and killed by both parties! Try to learn and accept the differences of opinion, other religious people and their behaviour and culture. Do not put others in your socks! Otherwise you won't find harmony in your life! BTW, I'm from Kattankudy! "Assalamu alaikkum meaning Peace be upon you all!"

And now they act like they didn't even harm the "Ants". How funny huh! Remember the minority Tamil and Muslim people didn't vote for the current president of Sri Lanka.

@@ibnuSalih You know what dude you're not fooling anyone here. The entire world knows about you guys 11th September 2020, police raided a Muslim area in Atalugama and found a large quantity of nitric acid which is used in the manufacture of explosives www.dailymirror.lk/breaking_news/77-kilos-of-nitric-acid-used-in-manufacture-of-explosives-found-in-Atulugama/108-195728. Why Did the so-called peace-lovers keep them? Are you guys planning to do some fireworks? Sinhalese never fought against Tamils. It was the Srilankan army who fought against LTTE. And learn history. then you will understand that LTTE was not born because of racism. it was born because of political reasons. Yah, Muslims didn't vote for the current president but Tamil votes and Christian votes are significantly improved. So you better get your facts checked. Everyone knows why Muslims didn't vote for the current Government.

It's not as much as bigger other places. But there are lots of things to see there. Even you could know more about the history of Batticaloa If you visit the "Ramakrishna Mission" and its Library in Kallady not only that but also You could enjoy the authentic food of Batticaloa there. The weekend is the best time to visit Kallady.

Pasting my reply here in the main comments as well... These comments aren't ideal, i agree. However one needs to know the place these come from. It has so much more to do than with the Easter Attacks. The people here and politicians have illegally taken lands that belonged to Tamils, during the war. Today they exploit labour in disgusting ways. If you'd speak to the people of old, you would understand. In my time working amongst the war affected Tamil villagers, I've learnt many sad stories. I cannot speak in detail as to whats happened to the Sinhala villages in the region, but i wont be surprised if its no different. Like i said before, Its very important to identify where and why the hate comes from. Understanding both sides of the coin helps put things in perspective and understand emotions better. As mentioned above, they've changed road names, etc and made it more Arabian. Ironic, especially seeing as many of them are of Indian descent yet clain to be otherwise. Many more shady doings have been going on in this town. However i agree that its an unfair generalization What many dont know is that it was a Muslim school master who identified some terrorists and that some Muslim communities had been protesting the extremism since 2017, which would fall on deaf ears.. this needs to be commended.. Its human nature to be biased towards one's community, or in this case against. This produces a sociological dilemma for tourists such as yourself. If u do want to get the total picture then its best that you speak to all relevant parties, in this case, the communities in the region. Seeing as you're in the East, it might e best to speak to Tamils who've lived there all their lives and get their perspective on the matter. You'd be surprised to find a similar trend in the north West regions of SL like Mannar Also ask yourself why the other community in SL are against these Eastern communities? There has to be a reason, especially when they get on better than expected in other regions. Enough politicization- do try the famous Kathankudy soup if u can. It comes in a HUGE bowl, almost basin like, has a mutton leg in it and is laced with "herbs" ;)

Like i said, with matters to do with this particular region, the problem is one that predates the Easter Attacks. Its always a continuous process
