Since 1867 Sri lanka is the tea capital of the world after it was famous for coffee. In 1960 SriLanka introduced the first female prime minister in the world named Sirimavo Bandaranaike and she served for 3 terms until 2000. After that her daughter Chandrika Kumaratuga was the fist female president elected for two consecutive terms even thought traditionally the women in the family are humble. They usually serve her husband and children first before they sit down to eat.
