Indigenous leader Uruwarige Vannila Attho has announced that he will take legal action against two social media content creators who produced a video misrepresenting the traditions of the Vedda community and shared it online.
The video in question, titled “Sudu Walige Attho”, was posted on the popular YouTube channel Blok & Dino about a week ago and has already gained over a million views.
Speaking to the media, Vannila Attho expressed his disappointment, stating that the video was created purely for commercial gain while mocking indigenous culture. He further mentioned that he had attempted to contact the creators regarding the issue, but they had not responded, which he believes is disrespectful to the Vedda community.
Additionally, he pointed out that the video has also distorted the indigenous language, further misrepresenting their heritage. Therefore, he intends to take legal steps to ensure justice for his community.
