Book Review:
''Saga of The Exiled Royal Javanese'' by Tuan Arfin Burah is a fascinating historical account of the exiled Javanese royals who were sent to Ceylon (Sri Lanka) during the Dutch colonial period. Drawing on his expertise in land surveying and economics, the author uncovers vital information buried in old records and historical sites. This book offers a coherent glimpse into the workings of colonial rule in Southeast Asia, particularly in Java and Sri Lanka. It is a valuable read for historians, researchers, and anyone interested in colonial history and the connections between Sri Lanka and Indonesia.
