This time we are joined with Tharitha, where we discuss a range of topics including our personal experiences as immigrants (expats?), an outline of Sri Lankan colonial history, and what our actual national identity is. Hopefully, this serves as an eyeopener to everyone who listens and is relatable to those who have been through the same things.

(00:26) Intro to Tharitha

(02:21) What are the common questions you get as a Sri Lankan in Australia?

(03:41) Why getting names right is important? + Code-switching

(14:30) The colonial history of Sri Lanka

(20:00) What are the different types of colonies?

(26:55) Clashing identity/views between people of the same country + Why national identity is important

(34:10) School story of swapping religions

(37:27) Is there a true national identity?

(43:45) Outro
