Does ceylon tea contains caffeine?

All teas made from the plant Camellia sinensi, which is what Celon tea is, has caffeine, unless it specifically states otherwise.

EDIT: Depending on the preparation methods and the quality of the tea you buy, an 8 oz (240ml) cup of ceylon tea contains about 23 - 110 mg of caffeine.

A significant amount of the caffeine content, approximately 80 percent can be reduced. When water is added to the tea bag, caffeine is the first thing that is released. Therefore, you can remove most of this caffeine if the tea is steeped between 30 - 45 seconds of the tea being added.. If the tea is steeped for longer periods with more tea leaves added, then the caffeine content will increase.

Why India does not wants to maintain good relationship with it's neighbouring countries like Sri Lanka Nepal Myanmar Pakistan and China?

India always has been creating economical and political problems for its neibhouring countries. It has been exporting terrorism to its neighboring countries to keep these countries in line.Terrorism has been the nature of Indian politics.
According to very credible numbers published by human rights groups and the Punjab judiciary, the government of India has murdered more than 250,000 Sikhs since 1984, in excess of 200,000 Christians in Nagaland since 1947, almost 75,000 Kashmiri Muslims since 1988, and tens of thousands of Assamese, Tamils, Manipuris, Dalits, and others. In 1994, the US State Department reported that the Indian government paid out over 41,000 cash bounties to police officers for killing members of the Sikh minority.
An Indian Prime Minister was killed in office resulting from hobnobbing with terrorists. Former Prime Minister Rajib Ghandi supported one of the deadliest terrorists, LITTE, against Sri Lanka and as result was killed by them. In 1985 it armed and trained Ramraja P. Singh in India to conduct various terrorist activities in Nepal where several innocent civilian were killed.

India's bad relations with its neighbours doesn't mean that its people dont want good relations with its neighbours, but its the government policies which have caused a disrest in the region.



India's relationship with Nepal:
India has been creating economical and political problems for Nepal for the last 58 years since it has become independent from the British. Nepal wanted to become a trade-free zone like Singapore, but India pressured it to abandon the idea. It wanted to turn to market economy 20 years ago but India forced it to have high- custom tariff. India is building dams in the border area to flood Lumbini, the birthplace of Buddha, so no tourist will visit this submerged area.

Nepal has to endure Indian arm- twisting because it is landlocked, using Indian ports for sea cargo. It took ten years to convince India to allow Nepal to link India ports with railways and another three years for the train to start service. Even after 15 years, the railway link is not functioning properly. India has denied Nepal right of transits numerous times and dictates its terms on Nepal economy, and as a result it is now one of the poorest countries in the world. Now the Indian foreign minister is threatening Nepal.

India's relationship with srilanka:
In Sri Lanka, India overtly and covertly supported the insurgency against the state by a nationalist group, Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) in Jaffna - the northern region of this small island state. India's support kept it politically and economically destabilized for decades. In the end, India paid for its interference when its prime minister, Rajiv Gandhi, was assassinated by a Tamil activist for having betrayed the movement.

India's relationship with Pakistan:
With Pakistan, India maintains the worst of relations mainly because of Pakistan's political and military standing and its ability to reject Indian domination. Outstanding disputes include Kashmir, water distribution, dams that India constructs in violation Indus Water Treaty and border issues. Pakistan's dismemberment in 1971 by Indian hands is still fresh. And when India finances, arms and supports insurgency in Balochistan through its consulates along Afghan-Balochistan border and through its RAW agents operating inside Balochistan for the replay of East Pakistan scenario, the images of 1971 war come alive and acrimony between the two countries intensifies.

India's relationship with Bangladesh:
Bangladesh is locked into an unresolved dispute for the building of the Farakka barrage that deprives Bangladesh of its water share. Despite the gratitude Bangladesh owes to India for having militarily dismembered Pakistan in 1971 to midwife its birth, relations between the two have often sunk to the rock bottom on a host of issues, including border disputes

india's relationsip with China:
Although not a part of South Asia, China is India's important neighbor but for decades Sino-Indian relations have remained frosty, at best. They went to war in 1962 over a border dispute. Competing for regional leadership, it antagonizes China by hoisting the Dalai Lama off and on to keep the issue of Tibet alive. Lately, having aligned itself with America to contain China, India is bargaining for a tense Sino-Indian relationship in the years to come.

IN Afghanistan:

By joining the American bandwagon in Afghanistan and positioning its troops in the name of infra structure development, India created enough concerns for Pakistan. But by its collusion with CIA and Mossad to take out Pakistan's nuclear assets through subversion in FATA, the NWFP and other areas using the militants of Tehrik-e-Taliban, India is slamming shut the door on the peace process that Pakistan has been persistently trying to keep open ever since 1947. With a history of constant endeavors to balkanize Pakistan, Indian military build up in Afghanistan is seen by Pakistan's military as an effort to put it in a nutcracker.

The growing Indian influence in Afghanistan is also a destabilizing factor in the region, as acknowledged even by Gen. McChrystal in his recent report. The make and types of sophisticated weapons and communications equipment, including satellite pictures of troop movements, recovered from the militants provide undeniable evidence of Indian involvement.
