== The Driving Side ==
One of introductory paragraph ends with:


Please note that the driving side must be "right". [[User:HMPK AMARAWARDANA|HMPK AMARAWARDANA]] ([[User talk:HMPK AMARAWARDANA|talk]]) 04:08, 5 April 2023 (UTC)
"It has also led to an eruption of [[2022 Sri Lankan protests|street protests]], with citizens successfully demanding that the president and the government step down."


== Sri Lanka shares a maritime border with Indonesia ==
Because "led" is past tense, shouldn't "demanding" be "demanded"? I would have made the correction, but apparently this article is written in Sinhalese English, so I didn't want to trouble anyone.


Sri Lanka also shares a maritime border with Indonesia. It can add it, so. [[Special:Contributions/2001:448A:11A1:1AE4:1119:6332:EBCB:A48B|2001:448A:11A1:1AE4:1119:6332:EBCB:A48B]] ([[User talk:2001:448A:11A1:1AE4:1119:6332:EBCB:A48B|talk]]) 06:48, 31 August 2023 (UTC)
I would recommend the following sentence, with the preposition changed to accommodate the change in tense:


== Socialism in Sri Lanka ==
"It has also led to an eruption of [[2022 Sri Lankan protests|street protests]], where citizens successfully demanded that the president and the government step down."

CHAPTER I. THE PEOPLE, THE STATE AND SOVEREIGNTY
:No&mdash;the sentence is correct as it is. ...''with citizens demanding'' could easily (but clumsily) be rewritten as ...''in which citizens '''were demanding'''''. The use of the present participle doesn't make the whole sentence or clause present tense. ''...with citizens demanding'' is stylistically the best of the three options.

2. The State is pledged to establish in Sri Lanka a '''Democratic Socialist''' Society, the objectives of which include –
the full realization of the fundamental rights and freedoms of all persons;
the promotion of the welfare of the People by securing and protecting as effectively as it may, a social order in which justice (social, economic and political) shall guide all the institutions of the national life;
the realization by all citizens of an adequate standard of living for themselves and their families, including adequate food, clothing and housing, the continuous improvement of living conditions and the full enjoyment of leisure and social and cultural opportunities;
the rapid development of the whole country by means of public and private economic activity and by laws prescribing such planning and controls as may be expedient for directing and co-ordinating such public and private economic activity towards social objectives and the public weal;
the equitable distribution among all citizens of the material resources of the community and the social product, so as best to subserve the common good;
the establishment of a just social order in which the means of production, distribution and exchange are not concentrated and centralised in the State, State agencies or in the hands of a privileged few, but are dispersed among and owned by, all the People of Sri Lanka;
raising the moral and cultural standards of the People and ensuring the full development of human personality; and
the complete eradication of illiteracy and the assurance to all persons of the right to universal and equal access to education at all levels. [[User:Gorgonopsi|Gorgonopsi]] ([[User talk:Gorgonopsi|talk]]) 12:24, 27 November 2023 (UTC)

''Hinduism has been present in Sri Lanka at least since the 2nd century BCE. Hinduism was the dominant religion in Sri Lanka before the arrival of Buddhism in the 3rd century BCE.''
If Hinduism was the dominant religion before the arrival of Buddhism in the 3rd century BCE, then Hinduism has been present in Sri Lanka since at least the '''3rd''' century BCE, and presumably significantly earlier, if it was already dominant.
