Ceylon National Congress
The Ceylon National Congress (CNC) was a Nationalist political party which was formed in Ceylon on 11 December 1919.〔(Growth of nationalist power )〕 It was founded after nationalism grew quite intensely in the early 20th century during the British Colonial rule in Ceylon. It was formed by members of the Ceylon National Association (founded in 1888) and the Ceylon Reform League (founded in 1917).〔(Working towards reform ), The Sunday Times (Sri Lanka) Retrieved 23 April 2015〕 The Ceylon National Congress played an instrumental role in the attainment of Sri Lanka's independence later in 1948.〔(History of Sri Lanka )〕 Sir Ponnambalam Arunachalam was the founding president of the party.〔(Sir Ponnambalam Arunachalam (1853 - 1924) )〕 In October 1920, Sir James Peiris was elected President, staunchly supported by F.R. Senanayake and D.S. Senanayake.〔(The Ceylon National Congress and its intrigues ) By K T Rajasingham, Asia Times Online,Retrieved 23 April 2015〕〔(Chapter 18, Sri Lankan Tamil Struggle )〕 Other former presidents include D. B. Jayatilaka, E. W. Perera, C. W. W. Kannangara, H. W. Amarasuriya, W. A. de Silva and George E. de Silva. The Ceylon National Congress later paved the way for the formation of the United National Party. In 1943, D.S. Senanayake resigned from the Congress because he disagreed with its revised aim of achieving full freedom from the British Empire, preferring Dominion status.〔(SRI LANKA: THE UNTOLD STORY, Chapter 10: Lord Soulbury and his soulless report ) By K T Rajasingham, Retrieved 11-06-2015〕
