correction-: Not independence from India. Sri Lanka was a unique british colony separated from british India. India got independence in 1947 but Sri Lanka got independence in 1948 from Britain.
@@dhanushkajayaweera1689YES! Of course! Shri Lanka is a separate independent country from India, before it was colonized by Portuguese, there were three separate kingdoms, Jaffna kingdom, Kotte kingdom and Kandy kingdom, Portuguese and Dutch rulers ruled the country separately as Tamils lived in the North and Eastern part of the country and the rest of the country for Sinhalese. British messed up the country!
The info was intended to note an important reason for the separation of Sri Lanka from India, was the British colonial rule. British rule developed Sri Lanka as a separate administrative unit. That's what I learned from research. Sometimes the wording can be misunderstood.
You missed one important item that it was and still is famous for: gems. In the ancient time traders from world over came to Anuradhapura for trading. Perhaps Pythagorus came with his father, who was a wealthy gem trader and took away the Buddhist philosophy to Greece/Anatolia. He became a vegetarian and started preaching something similar to Jainism which believes in God's. Perhaps he was killed for this like what happened to Jesus later. He lived during Buddha's time. So, people have not understood Sri Lanka's true history and it's rulers connections to European and middle Eastern rulers.
Thanks for the info. That's for a long documentary about the country. We just do cultural highlights that may inspire people to learn more deeply if they choose.
Note: A mistake was corrected. - Sri Lanka celebrates their independence from Britain. - (see 3:04 and caption at: 3:30)

You made huge error as Sri Lanka 🇱🇰 never colonised by Indian, only British, Dutch and Portuguese, apart from that great video.
The context was meant to state the separation of Sri Lanka from India where the British ruled Sri Lanka separately.
Picture of cinnamon are cassia: not cinnamon
🇱🇰🇱🇰🇱🇰
No mention of of Jaffna Kingdom!
It was a part of vijaya nagar empire and kotte kingdom most of history
