Sri Lanka should go back to being named Ceylon...much cooler name.

Also Taiwan should go back to Formosa and DRC to Zaire

And Thailand to Siam. Why do chinks change the cool names we gave their countries into shitty names like Sri Lanka?

Also, Pakistan, Bangladesh. WTF is this shit?

>Sri Lanka should go back to being named Ceylon...much cooler name.
Hello Nigel. I bet you want us to change Bombay back into Mumbai don't you.

Sri Lanka means something in Tamil (iirc) while Ceylon is an English name.

* I bet you also

Nah I'm not British, I just always thought Ceylon was a much cooler name than Sri Lanka. It conjures an image of this kind of mystical far east place in the same way that Zaire makes you think you of some mysterious foreign land in the heart of Africa. Whereas Sri Lanka sounds like some shithole ditto for "Democratic Republic of the Congo"

Change it.

>implying upper class Indians don't call it Bombay

Unless they were rusing me, some rich girls in a Mumbai club insisted on unironically calling it Bombay

>Whereas Sri Lanka sounds like some shithole ditto for "Democratic Republic of the Congo"
That's good desu. Honestly speaking, the way Sri Lanka's going it has the potential to be first world the quickest out of all the country's surrounding it (smaller population).

The more the people stay out (if they can't contribute) the better.

>Unless they were rusing me, some rich girls in a Mumbai club insisted on unironically calling it Bombay
That's because most white people call it Bombay and they didn't want to ruin the mood.

That or they're people who try too hard to be cool.

Rightful British clay

you done goofed.

>Sri Lanka means something in Tamil

Sri is a generic designation similar to Mr or Monsieur but having an inherent relevance to fame, spirituality and wealth. Invoking it means you are invoking divine auspiciousness.

Lanka is the name of mythological Kingdom of native King Ravana who was believed to have ruled the island nation once upon a time.

horrible climate and shitty people

Designated shitting subcontinent

All of it's filled with shit, expect for Sri Lanka

honestly, if it wasn't so poorly developed I'd be comfortable with it (except Pakistan) being the world superpower.

By what year will it be a superpower?

2020

>By what year will it be a superpower?

When the Agni 7 gets global range to hit US. Probably 2020-2025.

India has the Red Fort. It is a superior successor to the Mughals.
