(b) Sri Lanka is called “The Emerald Isle of the East” because of its lush green vegetation. The name “Sri Lanka” comes from the Sanskrit words “sri” meaning “beautiful” and “lanka” meaning “island”.<\/p>\n

(c) Bangladesh is called “The Land of the Golden Pagoda” because of its many Buddhist temples. The name “Bangladesh” comes from the Bengali words “bangla” meaning “Bengal” and “desh” meaning “country”.<\/p>\n
