වඩා භයානක මදුරුවා ද ? ත්රස්තවාදියා ද?
Ivan contrasts the billions spent on fighting terrorism with the neglect of mosquito control. About 60,000 died in the 1989–90 insurrection and fewer than 100,000 in 16 years of war, while the 1934–35 malaria epidemic alone killed about 100,000. He recounts how malaria relief carried the Sama Samaja movement to Sabaragamuwa, where N.M. Perera defeated Adeline Molamure in 1936 and became ‘Parippu Mahatthaya’, cites B.H. Farmer on malaria and the dry zone, and warns that since state control was abandoned in the 1980s the disease is returning.
