My Mother Land



With this blog I am gonna tell the story of my Country. I hope u guys will enjoy it as much as I do.
My life started on 28th April (I'm not gonna tel you the year :D) morning at about 9.50 am in Sri Lanka. I was borne in kind of a rural area called Rathnapura. Most of the guys even don't know where Sri Lanka is, so I am gonna post a map of the world 4 u to understand. We are an Independent country which we gained in 1948(i am putting this because one of the guys asked me whether we r under the Indian government). We have a very long written history almost more than 2500 years. In ancient times our county was called Taprobane and it was even published on the first world map which was drawn by Ptolemy.

This is the world's first map

This is ancient Sri Lanka.

But in 1815 our county was over taken by the English and they ruled till 1948. If I am to write the whole thing it will be quite boring, so I stop the history from here.
But to tell u about the recent history, our country suffered a civil war for 30 years and now it is over. We had to fight the world's No 1 Terrorist organization which is called LTTE. It caused so much damage to our country but with the end of the war our economy growing rapidly and we are hoping for a bright future for Our Mother Land.


My Mother Land.
