How Sri Lanka Destroyed Its Own Economy

July 9, 2022. Ordinary citizens are swimming in the President's private pool. Cooking in his kitchen. Working out in his gym. The President himself? He has fled the country. This is the story of how Sri Lanka — a nation of 22 million, once richer per person than India — ran out of everything: petrol, cooking gas, medicines, electricity, even paper for school exams. Inflation touched nearly 70%. The country defaulted on its debt for the first time in its history. And it all happened in front of the world's cameras. But this video is not just a disaster story. It's an autopsy. Because a country doesn't go bankrupt by accident — it goes bankrupt by decisions. Inside: the "dollar wallet" concept that explains national bankruptcy in 2 minutes, the 4 fatal mistakes (a one-engine economy, history's most reckless tax cuts, an overnight organic farming decree that destroyed the rice crop, and the money-printing spiral), the people's uprising that ended a family's rule — and the honest answer to the question every Indian should ask: can this happen to us? ⚠️ DISCLAIMER: Based on publicly available reports and academic sources (links below). Figures are estimates from cited sources. This video analyses economic policies and their outcomes — it does not target any community or country's people. Lessons for India are drawn in a non-partisan spirit; populist economics is criticized across party lines.
