| dc.description.abstract | This article analyzes the political situation after the Kalinga Magha invasion, focusing
on the Kingdom of Polonnaruwa, which became a nal city in AD 1017. The 38th
dynasty of King Mihindu V attacked Sri Lanka, taking Polonnaruwa as their control
center. King Vijayabahu I conquered and ruled Polonnaruwa, followed by strong rulers
like Parakramabahu I and Nisshanka Malla. However, Polonnaruwa collapsed in 1215
AD due to weak rulers and power struggles. The invasion of Kalinga Magha led to the
departure of Rajarata’s nobles, monks, and common people. The country was anarchic
without a king, with regional control centers built by Bhuvanekabahu Adipadat, Minipe
Sankha Senavit, Subha Senavit, and Vijayabahut III. The Vanni kingdom formed in the
Rajara. This thesis aims to study the impact of Magha’s invasion using qualitative data
analysis, primary and secondary literature sources, and interviews. | en_US |
