Republic Day in Sri Lanka

Republic Day in Sri Lanka is held on May 22. This event in the third decade of the month May is annual.
Sri Lanka became a Republic on 22nd May 1972, with the adoption of a new Constitution. Until the war victory on 18th May 2009, which overshadowed it, every year on May 22 Sri Lankans commemorated Republic Day. The republican idea was mooted in 1970 by the leaders of the LSSP during the drawing up of a Common manifesto of the United Front for General Election.
