When Lord Ramadefeated Ravana in historical battle of Lanka, Lakshman, Lord Rama's brother asked him to settle in that beautiful city of Lanka which was supposedly made of bricks of Gold. This is the actual quote from Valmeeki Ramayanof Lord Rama's answer to Lakshmana's request.
api swarnamayee lankaa na me Lakshmana rochate
janaanee janmabhoomishcha swargaadapi gareeyasee
O Lakshmana, I don't like Lanka though made up of gold
(because) mother & motherland are greater than heaven..
Let’s celebrate the Independence Day of our motherland in a BIG way here.
