History of The History

Uniquely the country has documented history beginning in the 6th century BC. Apart from that there are prehistoric folk stories still alive within the society. Some villages have unique names that named after the incidents in prehistoric times. Yaka ( Devil/Demon) is just a noun that even today we use for many occasions. Sometimes we call our friends ''MEHE WAREN YAKO'' (Meaning ''Come over here mate'') of course this is sometimes used by parents to their children in a fit of forcing anger. Sometimes it can be a foolish way of asking your friend to come closer. Also, it is a command from a master to his co-person. Like wise there are many ways that you can use this same noun 'monster' by changing the voice, tone and changing features of your face.

So who is this Yaka? It is one of the oldest noun that we know from history. Ancient story books tell us the stories of Demons, Devils, and Naga (another tribe who are guardians of water and representing them selves as Cobras) who ruled the country in prehistoric times.

Interestingly, day to day life we are still using the words of very early stages. The culture is always interconnected with its core. However, things have been changed with introduction of Buddhist philosophic ideas. Abstract the best of the best all over and left to the world everything it has absorbed. The country is for every one to come and learn. It is your part that, how generous you are to keep this nation greener and greener for another couple of thousand years.
