Plantage worker – Menschen zweiter Klasse

Plantage worker – Menschen zweiter Klasse

With a korb on your back, you can find a tee bus and watch the young Blätter, Tag by Tag, for years to come. If the leaders of the green world have the faith of tourists, but it was one of the most important photos, the reality is of others.

18 Kilo Blätter pro Tag

From 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. and the woman continues. You see a value of 18 kilograms of Blätter pro Tag, which is calculated in Nuwara Eliya with Beispiel 1000 Rupees, about 3 Francs. On a plantation account with a tagesertrag of 20 kilograms, you earn 1700 rupees, also 5 francs. «And more is paid for extra kilos», the Besuchern would be told by a Führung by the «Tea Factory».

Nun 1000 or 1700 Rupees pro Tag – it may be a man who is handsome, but this Tatsache is possible and is all taken in Kauf. “Money,” says the other man, the moneylenders are saving and caressing with their hands. «All tourists unterstützen us.» Herausfordernd blickt is mich an. “I have now lost my credit card”, and the culprit is an error in the teepflückerinnen zu. First, if there is no hint of the great war, was the money the workers received.

Direction is in hand

If the direction is white, then the plantation worker, quickly all women, are one of the most important beds that are all close to sin. So wrote Professor Sunanda Madduma Bandara, Berater von President Ranil Wickremesinghe, that July in the Zeitung «Sunday Observer»: «Befreit die Plantagenarbeiter aus der Sklaverei!». In this article, the “Planters’ Association of Ceylon”, the Vereinigung der Plantagenbetreiber, values ​​the old Lohnerhöhung from 1000 to 1700 rupees.

Seine Entrüstung is scheinHalloween. Ownership of the plantation and the ownership of the ushers is in control: 3 plantations were chosen by themselves, the remaining 21 years with long-term lease agreements for private companies. The direction is also in hand, the worker’s life clause has been changed. If Theme is no longer on the priority list.

Weniger Beschäftigte

If the tourists have a faith in agriculture, the climate in the interior can make a journey to the heat in the coastal area. In the capital of Colombo a man can drive the Eisenbahn in the enormous fahren, the construction of the large factories and the fuhrung through a factory trying out new T-pieces. As souvenirs, the packaging and prices of Schwarz-, Grün- and Weisstees are very popular, the gift with the Verkauf ab Fabrik läuft gut.

While the plantation does not go beyond time, it is worth ending production and the only rehung Abnahme of the production fläche. “There were half a million people on the Plantagen society, since there were around 140,000,” explains Anthony Jesudasan, Executive Director of “Voice of Plantations Peoples Organization” VOPP, der Vereinigung der Plantagenarbeiter. “There can be a way and something like that is a better bezahlte Arbeit”.

English-language Tee auf Insel

VOPP, an organization of volunteers organized in 2023, has ended its life clause, more political rights and higher interests. The answer to the problem is that the history of Sri Lanka anchors and improves rapidly 200 years ago: When the English started in Ceylon, large flächig Tee, Zimt, Kautschuk, Palm oil and coconut palms were produced, they continued to work hard. . These may end up in the Nachbars colony Indische in the southern state of Tamil Nadu.

The former Malaiyaha or Hill Tamils ​​generations can also appear as Tamil-speaking Australian countries in Sri Lanka and wurden bis for the kurzem so deutlich. If you want to do a Sri Lankan pass or more or more Sinhalese things, if you have a couple in a good service, so be it. A piece of land or a living space is often impossible. And if American nationality is one of the singular interests, it is longer and more broke. The Burgerkrieg is not credible.

Corruption is normal

The situation is regionally uninteresting. “In the southern plantations, the workers of social organizations are being dismantled, it is the Alltag that wins the prize,” VOPP explains. “This Unterstützung is ok, but wollen de Leuten en keine Almosen verteilen, sondern ihnen einen fairen Lohn erkämpfen”. VOPP is a challenge to involve more fronts: pressure on the management as owner of the plantations, pressure on the plantation workers as Arbeitgeber, aufklärung der Arbeiternehmer.

“Of course it worked in Sri Lanka,” said Anthony Jesudasan, “aber leader was führt by politics, corruption is normal. Darum Braucht is a von der VOPP. 1,000 Rupees pro Tag have made a number of years ago and more money, but the leader thinks that inflation is over, so it is effective to limit inflation.

Billige laborerhäuser

There is an idea where the Arbeitern Land is located, because it can be its properties for own business construction. Then the money for Essen must be absorbed and cleared of land in the Plantation. Most households and new homes are able to use the living situation for the most burdened people: traditional housing in such “line houses”, building housing with minimum hygienic standards and improving space. Most of the family in the plantation work, the living rights for a gilded “line house”, the heisst, sich von der Plantage is not lonely.

If the Sri Lankan Reign lasts much longer, the Malaiyaha-Anliegen government will suffer the Indian Reign on this migration, but it will be barren for 200 years. The majority of the houses will first be renovated, living houses for the plantation workers who build them, but the line houses could not be built – although this is not natural.

The Schicksal der Menschen would be in the Bürokratie of both Länderzerrieben. Young Malaiyaha could become a problem if he is in the Eltern and Grosseltern and starts. They protest and attack organizations that have the VOPP. So it is a vermutlich nur a fragment of time, which is no longer discussed as a citizen in Sri Lanka. Anyone who owes the Alltag der Plantagenarbeiter is vulnerable.

Sri Lanka hat gewählt

I spent four months living in Sri Lanka. If you are rich with an uninteresting tee, you are of the Lagoon Yoga power, reisbauern is a great wasserbüffeln gratulier and bin with fish in huts, which are fühlt by the Indian Ocean in the following minutes. And then come the President’s Day on September 21: Won with the National People’s Power NPP. They introduce the new Sri Lankan President Anura Kumara Disanayaka. The German results are an exceedance. My new friend, think of the things I do, free. Sri Lanka has achieved one of the most important things: Anura Kumara Disanayaka has expressed more social justice and will increase corruption. Die Hoffnungen, die mit die Wahl eens hergehen, are rude.

When my time in the backcountry begins, the passion may have waned. If I often sneak in and like it, this is the last time there is an evil colonial time to interpret. Apparently I was cheating. If the resident from Sri Lanka has now visited another country and used the schicksal in the countries with the highest wool, the autumn will be ausserordentlich and ich wünsche ihnen and his country for the whole life good.

If the new president is a political firm, he will never know what is going on. The country has higher Australian debts and many major problems. Corruption through the sale of products is a matter of time – schlimmer as a large company. If your business is a herkulesaufgabe, the positions of power will not be taken over voluntarily. Is your new president a newcomer?

Who says my Sri Lankan friend Renuka nach der Wahl? We were seen…
