Real Souls Deep Inside Tea Plantations In Sri Lanka 🇱🇰

[@amandabelanus5147]

You deserve to be made an honorary Sri Lankan citizen for all you do for our little island. Thanks a bunch. 🤗🤗

[@ransikadealwis8379]

Totally agree with you

[@Mrreal1990]

I'm a Sri Lankan living in England. I watch your videos at night and I feel so great. Gives me tears when you pass by some places. Cheers.!

[@YohanMEL]

I hope Sri Lanka makes you an honorary citizen brother. You are doing so much to promote the country and help the people. Bless you 🙏🏽

They speak South Indian Tamil. Their ancestry goes back to south India and were bought in as Tea plantation laborers by the British colonists and were granted SL citizenship in the 80's

[@Davud_Akh]

Thank you for sharing! I have dedicated video coming about Tamil community in the mountain village ❤️🙏🏼

[@SithyFareena-cx7cc]

These people's living conditions are very difficult

[@kajan290]

​@@Davud_Akh they never say namestey , only vanakam they're tamil people say vankam to them and thanks mean nantri

[@chandanasilva7115]

Hi david

[@sherrimurphy5332]

The British confiscated land in Central Sri Lanka from the Sinhalese and made their cultivated and undeveloped land into tea plantations. They needed laborers to develop and work in these plantations at a very low wage or as slaves but the former Sinhalese land owners who lost their land to the British abandoned their homes and moved away to live on their own facing many hardships. The British had no choice but to import laborers from South India that spoke Tamil who were poor, homeless and belonged to low castes to fill the need. They were derogatorily called “coolies” by the British as well as locals mainly by the Tamils who believe in the caste system until recently when they were granted Sri Lankan citizenship. So when you greet them you have to say “Vanakkam” in Tamil instead of “ayubowan”.

[@lindyashford7744]

You missed noticing around 2:50 the topiary birds on the bank up to the tea estate. The estates are really very beautiful, the way that they are laid out, it make the landscape exceptionally lovely and tranquil. The tea workers work hard and have history of course with the land, this is where the wealth is made, and not all of it for the end use of teacups in Europe. As much goes to Central Asia, where there are strong tea drinking cultures as anywhere else. I love the peaceful views of tea estates and also the upcountry rice terraces too. Nice climate upcountry too for those exhausted by the heat of the coast. All within fairly easy reach for independent travellers. You can pack a lot into a week or ten days in SL, that’s for sure. The tea workers are paid very little and often have very poor living conditions. They do not own the land they work on. Try and find out more from people with food language skills. Sri Lanka is very different to India and has not in modern times been a part of it. So the names and greetings are different. Does not take long to learn, if you use Indian expressions most people won’t know what you are saying!

Hi David , You are very humble man. That picture mem saying "I came to Sri Lanka for the third time. Sri Lanka is truly the most beautiful country I have come across in my travel life. I came to help Sri Lanka a lot. My heart stopped in Sri Lanka, where civilized people live that I have not seen in countries like India, Pakistan, and Bangladesh. I want to build a school in a rural area. And I love to help the needy people in Sri Lanka" thank for your support to my country ❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@shameemmakeen5527]

Recall your very 1st video in Sri lanka last year from a small roti/tea cafe also in Ella. Since then you've come a very long way thanks to your humility and friendliness and not forgetting your philanthropy and generosity. Keep up the good work Davud and may you go from strength to strength.

Different circumstances, different prices, but 5 mangos for like 55 (euro)cent is mind blowing. They are extremely hard workers, and one of the kindest (and most grateful) people I've met, but I can imagine they're struggling to get by. Would be interesting to see you (or anyone else) spend a couple of days with one of the locals. Anyway, love your vlogs!

David, I think the people at the Thashvin Fancy gift store are Tamils. Tamils are generally an honest, scholarly people with a sense of honour that is second only to the Japanese. They typically won’t accept gratuities like tips or to keep your change. I love Tamil people. ❤

Since Davud is from Azerbhaijan, there is a small subtropical town in Azerbhaijan called Lankaren. It is called the small Sri Lanka. They have tea estate in that area.

If it was another travel vlogger he would make a fuss about planters asking for money….I personally don’t like them asking but their living conditions aren’t upto the standards and they find it hard to earn for their day today activities..❤️👍

[@Davud_Akh]

It is really fine, I am sure anyone would take the same opportunity when seeing foreigner once a year. Important is that she wasn't pushy about it. They make $60 a month in a season.

[@kosan2875]

name 1 vlogger who made a fuss.... i bet u cant

[@sweeta17]

Aaqib lets put this into perspective . vloggers need contend to make videos to get subs etc then get paid by ytube . while people in which ever country ( in this case sl ) are being filmed and dont mind hence why should they NOT get some payment as well while the vloggers get paid it is only fair . thats my opinion .

[@rishazahamed3535]

@@kosan2875 Tim Tense.! He’s the worst vlogger Ive ever seen.

[@lindyashford7744]

They are not planters, they are tea pickers. Planters in SL are usually people who manage tea estates. They are decently paid people. Tea pickers are nearly always women and extremely low paid even though their work is skilled. Mostly they live and work on the tea estate, often in very poor housing. When people stop to chat to workers they need to be aware that they are talking to working people, and even though it looks very picturesque their productivity, and maybe their pay can be reduced. So asking for money is not that extraordinary if you have just used up their working time. They are not begging, btw, they have families to keep and children to ge5 to school, and there is an economic crisis, even though in general SRi Lankan people will not make that obvious as they are very welcoming and generous. Something to think about is that the beautiful tea country landscape is all maintained in its beauty by the tea pickers. That is some landscaping job they are doing there!
