Abstract:
Sri Lanka had foreign relations with various countries since ancient times. The Buddhist culture took root in its relations with India. The introduction of Buddhism in the BC third century was a turning point in Sri Lanka-Kalinga relations. The majority of people in Sri Lanka consider Kalinga’s Odisha as their homeland. Kalinga Magha has been portrayed in Sinhalese literature as cruel and non-Kalinga, in Sri Lankan history up to the present. However, the recent discovery of the Gomarankadawala Inscription (Trincomalee District) mentions Kalinga Magha as a native of the Kalinga country. In this
