Book Review:
Lanka – The Land of Kings by Prof. J. B. Disanayaka – Professor Emeritus of Sinhala (University of Colombo) and former Senior Fellow at SOAS, University of London – explores Sri Lanka's fascinating island civilization. Over three millennia, more than two hundred kings laid the foundations for a benevolent society. This book tells the story of this island kingdom, helping readers understand the backdrop of a modern nation in crisis. As the author is convinced, ''the past is but a prologue to the future.'' Essential reading for history buffs, students, and anyone seeking a deeper understanding of Sri Lanka's heritage and contemporary challenges.
