Wimarshana Wijesuriya is a Sri Lankan writer, social critic and thinker. His book ''Colombo: A Critical Introspection'' explores sociological issues that face Sri Lanka on entering modernity. It proposes to ask and answer the question — "Who is the prototypical Sri-Lankan? And how do these defining sociological & socio-psychological ingredients conspire and culminate to create his (prototypical Sri-Lankan ) contemporary reality?”.〔http://www.ceylontoday.lk/news-detail.php?news_id=1571&news_category_id=35〕 ''Colombo'' drew attention for being critical of traditional Sri Lankan culture and religion, particularly Buddhism (Sri Lanka's predominant religion) and Islam. Allegedly, Wijesuriya received death threats for the blasphemous content in ''Colombo''. == Early life ==
In an interview with ''Good Morning Sri-Lanka'', Wijesuriya revealed what little is known about his childhood. In the interview Wijesuriya reveals that he spent his early childhood in England before returning to Sri-Lanka. And it was the culture shock on return to Sri-Lanka that stimulated Wijesuriya's interest in sociology, resulting eventually in him writing ''Colombo''.
