"This is Dr. Frasier Crane. I'm listening."
NOT NOW. NOT EVER! Ceylon has never been part of barbarian India, is not part of barbarian India and will NEVER be part of barbarian India. So say we all!
THE FACTS
India sponsored a terrorist group, violated International Law with an illegal Indo Lanka Accord and deludes itself into thinking it has a right to preside over other sovereign nations. It has to this day not paid the massive reparations it owes for the damage it caused nor even made a formal apology for its heinous crimes.
Indian criminals regularly cross a maritime boundary illegally entering another country's sovereign territory and then proceed to engage in other crimes such as but not limited to illegal fishing, smuggling, bottom trawling, destruction of coral reefs, resisting arrest etc.
Indian politicians and Indian slaves regularly contrary to plain common sense act as if they have a right to preside over any other sovereign country. The same buffoons true to their lack of intellect act as if cancelling global competitive tenders which India regularly loses equals engaging with the world, whilst engaging with the world is not engaging with the world.
Recently the Authorities have arrested a group of over a hundred Indians who arrived on a Tourist visa operating a cyber scam centre. Please note that the punishment for anyone - including Indians - who engages in or assists scammers in Singapore is a mandatory caning.
Unmitigated disaster if this ridiculous bridge to a third world country happens. Not now, not ever! Any movement of freight/goods is also considerably simpler, cost effective and faster by sea as things CURRENTLY stand from a pre-existing (and developing) shipping hub in Ceylon. What this country needs is a clean system and high speed rail and a thorough and complete DE-INDIANISATION. Ceylon was far better managed with far superior infrastructure on par with the best in the world decades ago. Look at East Asia, not the barbarian Indians. Declare void the totally illegal Indo Lanka Accord as well.
Only the truly visionless, foolish and beyond brainless pseudo intellectuals and full on Indian slaves along with the Indians are clamouring for this.
India owes this country MASSIVE reparations for the damage it caused this country. Pitiful loans provided by India do not make up for the massive amounts owed to us by the Indians! We should be engaging with the ENTIRE WORLD based on competitive tenders and markets, not pandering to India artificially - who NEVER win tenders here either!
Exploiting India does not mean pandering to it. There are other countries on the other side of the world exporting more to India than we do. Within Asia itself, Singapore - which does not tolerate a totally illegal Indo Lanka Accord - exports more to India than we do. AND noticeably Singapore's Trade agreement with India does NOT allow for unlimited migration from India given the population disparity AND the MASSIVE difference in human development in both countries.
On top of that, the sea area has coral reefs and this would cause environmental destruction (which the Indian criminals entering our waters are also doing).
The sea has been Ceylon's natural defence for so long. Our Independence movement were adamant to have a Defence Agreement to protect us from India. It is truly alarming why anyone would want to be build a bridge to the primary enemy. Of the major economies on Earth and within Asia, India is not equal to China and will never equal China. And is not at the same human development level as the US, EU, or our real friends in ASEAN. It isn't even equal on a human development level to a suppressed Ceylon held back by modern era Indian appeasing politicians.
The illegal Indo Lanka Accord is illegal.
There is simply zero comparison on a human development level, infrastructure or transportation time between India and the likes of the respective countries involved in the Channel Tunnel, Johor-Singapore Causeway, Hong Kong, Macau etc etc.

Image 1 - Exchange rates showing the strength of the Ceylon Rupee versus several other currencies. Note the rate versus the then Gold backed US dollar versus today. And note the Ceylon Rupee was stronger than the Hong Kong, Malaysian or Indian currencies.
Image 2 - Interesting fact about the Ceylon Rupee notes in the 1950s
Image 3 - Ceylon was more connected to global supply chains in 1955 than in 2025 exporting more as a share of GDP than today. In the event of a crisis (if all exports were to suddenly cease), there were enough Foreign reserves to last for almost a year's worth of imports.
Image 4 - Ceylon had a better financial position than almost all European countries except for Switzerland. Our original Monetary policy was ditched here in Ceylon leading to the Currency's collapse, but maintained by Singapore which maintains a strong stable currency today.
Image 5 - Old Ceylon passport. Quality document, quality name, quality, quality quality. Not like today's. The passport gave a Ceylonese citizen visa free access to the Commonwealth countries (Britain, Australia, etc etc), the USA, Western and Eastern Europe (France, West Germany, Czechoslovakia, etc), Far East (Japan, China, Korea, etc).
Image 6 - In the event there was no Ceylonese diplomatic mission in the country you were visiting, a Ceylon passport holder could seek assistance at any time if needed from any British consulate mission present.
Image 7 - A country of massive potential at the time (which is still the case today) which utilised it (which is not the case today). We've gone from this in the 1940 and 1950s to being led by absolute fools who want to be nothing more than an Indian vassal state "also ran" today. Thus far with no one genuinely patriotic or visionary like our Independence movement leadership who wanted to take the country somewhere fast.
Image 8 - Self explanatory regarding our buses being better in the past than today. We used to have British double decker and Mercedes Benz buses islandwide in this country (both the CTB and private operators).
Image 9 - An old train in Ceylon. Compare that to the worthless death traps imported at exorbitant cost from the subcontinent today.

Image 12 - Electric trolley bus. Not from Ceylon in 2025, but in 1955. Thanks to glorious socialism and Indianisation, not only is all that gone, nobody seems to even talk about putting such things back in place!
Image 13 - Retired buses which used to serve Ceylonese passengers. Before the dark times. Before Indianisation.
Image 14 - Quality passport which not only looks better than today, but actually had value. If not for foolhardy policies imposed by third class politicians without a national mandate, our Ceylonese passport would rank similarly to Japan, Singapore and Germany's today. Our political class today are still doubling down on the foolhardy nonsense that dragged us down and still holds us back.
Image 15 - The original Lion flag re-raised in Ceylon in 1948. One national symbol for all people. No artificial stripes, divisions or any other nonsense imposed by subsequent socialist politicians without a national mandate.
