A proposito di questo titolo

In 1815, after two centuries of resistance, the Kandyan Kingdom fell to the British. This episode traces the final years of Sri Lanka's last independent realm, from the internal strife under King Sri Vikrama Rajasinha to the betrayal by Kandyan chieftains known as 'Disawe'. Lucas and Luna explore the 'Convention of 1815', the abolition of the monarchy, and the imposition of British rule. They discuss the Sri Dalada Maligawa in the power struggle, the role of John D'Oyly — the British diplomat who secured the throne through negotiation — and the aftermath: the Uva Rebellion of 1818. No more native kings, just a crown colony. A story of ambition, loyalty, and the painful birth of modern Sri Lanka.
