Memorable Quote (from the book)
"Declining turnout is not apathy it is a rational response to political change."
Translation (Sinhala):
"හෙළිදරව්වකින් පිරිහීම අලසභාවය නොවෙයි එය දේශපාලන වෙනස්වීම්වලට සිත්ගන්නා සුලු ප්රතිචාරයකි."
Translation (Tamil):
"வாக்களிப்பில் குறைவு சோம்பல் அல்ல அது அரசியல் மாற்றங்களுக்கு ஒருங்கிணைந்த பதிலாகும்."
