Exclusion, Prasad Hettiarachchi
View works

In a post war era, "exclusion" is inflected and it has received certain ominance. Even though the majority is partial to development, it. has arving connotations to different social groups.

The contemporary large scale development projects have failed to equally disseminate the expected outcomes to every social group, and + has become an experience of losing values, income, mutual relationships, and shelters to lower and lower-middle social classes.

"Exclusion" causes the loss of social relationships and their connection with the environment. Consequently, the emptiness risen in an individual or in a group leads them to rely on imaginary worlds, which give them a sense of belonging, and to succumb into a rootless existence filled with struggles.

What I feel is that this is a time of deep emotions about dislocation, and the possibility of facing risks if one becomes rootless. - Prasad Hettiarachchi
