The
Revised History of Sri Lanka
(Abridged)
When we at Crazylanka first revised the History of Sri Lanka, our idea was to get rid of the boring bits, find the funny bits and jazz them up.
At that time it was received well when Sri Lankans had the ability to laugh at themselves in a self-effacing manner.
I am not sure if the sentiments are still the same. Nationalistic pride is important but so is the ability to see the funny side of things.
Without further commentary, here is the story about the arrival of the Portuguese in Sri Lanka which appeared in Crazylanka on the 24th of February 2001.
It is presented here in a re-formatted and very slightly revised form.
