Narrative Fragments Of Independence Share A Unifying Sri Lankan Narrative


Narrative Fragments Of Independence Share A Unifying Sri Lankan Narrative
Rajan Philips
Sri Lanka turns 73 this week, 73 years since becoming independent. Over the last 10 to 15 years, I have been writing a piece almost every February to mark Sri Lanka’s independence anniversary. I wrote one for the 70
