English to Sinhala (Sinhalese): Politics for a Righteous State Detailed field: Government / Politics
Source text - English "Until the dawn of the twentieth century, Buddhist monks were passive agents in the political history of Sri Lanka. In the middle of the twentieth century, however, monastic involvement in politics took a remarkable turn. With Walpola Rahula's (1907-1997) advocacy of politics for Buddhist monks in The Heritage of the Bhikkhu (1974), which was originally published in Sinhala in 1946 as Bhiksuvage Urumaya, a new political Buddhist tradition emerged in Sri Lanka encouraging and justifying political activism of Buddhist monastics. Since the publication of the The Heritage of the Bhikkhu, the degree of involvement of Buddhist monks in Sri Lankan politics has gradually increased marking clear phases of radical developments."

Translation - English "It is essential that academics, who live in a developing country like Sri Lanka, write their research findings in English language. Only then those academics and their research receive an international reputation. Otherwise, like beautiful flowers in the wild forest, their scholarly investigations will be useless."
