sri lanka has been able to boast of a history of thousands of years as an independent state.We could also be proud of a self sufficient economy and political outonomy.
The portugeese invaded our country in the year tsos. And the dutch began to meddle with our internal affars later. we lost entire feedom as a result of britishers conquering the island in the year 1815.
Lankans who were dissatisfied of the british rule in the country rebelled for independence. But the rulers were heedless. As a result a great campaign was launched to rescued our country from the ruthless Britishers. F.R Senanayake,D.S.Senanayake, D.B. Jayatilleke,Arthur V.Dias , Ponnabalam Ramanayake than,John de silva. Henry pedris,ven Battaramulla subhuthi and piyadasa sirisena are some of the patriots wholed this campaign.
We pbtained freedom from the British rule on 04 February , 1948. Today We celebrate its golden judilee. Sri lanka is a socialist, democratic republic now.
