Sri Lanka was never part of India, but it has technically been ruled by rulers from India before.
The two countries have never been joined as one. Even under British rule the two nations were ruled separately and upon independence were also both seen as separate and individual nations.
A national movement for political independence arose in the early 20th century, and in 1948, Ceylon became a dominion. The dominion was succeeded by the republic named Sri Lanka in 1972.
Sri Lanka's government has decided to change the names of all state institutions still bearing the nation's former British colonial name, Ceylon. The government wants the country's modern name to be used instead.
The decision comes 39 years after the country was renamed Sri Lanka.
