Republic Day
Daily FT
|May 24, 2025
THE 22nd day of May is the 53rd anniversary of the Republic of Sri Lanka.
It is not a national holiday. The Government has chosen not to celebrate it. It has instead preferred to honour 4 February, the day on which, through the good grace of the British monarch, Ceylon graduated from a Crown Colony into a British Dominion.
I do not seek to belittle the efforts of D.S. Senanayake and Sir Oliver Goonetilleke who, in the midst of a world war, succeeded in securing for Ceylon that self-governing status. Our neighbour, on the other hand, celebrates its Republic Day, 26 January, with spectacular cultural pageantry, while also marking 15 August as Independence Day.
