N. H. Asoka Mahanama Karunaratne (26 January 1916 – 24 February 1988) (known as ''Asoka Karunaratne'') was a Sri Lankan politician and philanthropist. As Cabinet Minister of Social Services, he dedicated most of his life to empowering the underprivileged people in Sri Lanka. ==Early Life and Death== Karunaratne was born in Rambukkana and was educated at St. Anthony's College, Kandy and Nalanda College Colombo. He developed a great interest in Sinhala and English literature and was an avid reader. After passing with merits in his Cambridge Senior Exam, World War II erupted, hindering his future plans of attending university in England. Consequently, he took up a career as a landowner before being elected to the Rambukkana town council in 1947. Karunaratne was the younger brother of Mr. N. H. Keerthiratne, who was also a distinguished politician and Cabinet Minister. Both were known for their unique manner of breaking down barriers—by embracing a cooperative way of enriching relationships between individuals and groups. Karunaratne died in 1988 of a heart attack.
