I just wonder what the split is in the population between those that are friendly to India, those that are neutral and pragmatic and those that are unfriendly.

I dont think there is a overwhelming unfriendliness towards Indian in general.. More of indifference.. Thousands of Indian tourists arrive in the island annually.. And leave with a lot of goodwill.. Lots of Lankans specially women watch Bollywood etc even though they dont understand Hindi but those who are more nuanced about regional and global politics are a bit more skeptical again not towards ordinary Indians but the polity
The determining factor is Tamil Nadu, Both going by history and current attrition towards the island.. I'm afraid it will take a long long time if ever for IndoLanka bilateral relationship to gain full potential because of that
The numbers of people who you can call "Pro-Indian" are small but there are alot of neutral and intelligent Sri Lankans but the amount of Anti-Indian Sri Lankans are very big the hostile attitude of some Tamil Nadu politicians also boost Anti-Indian sentiments but some Anti-Indian conspiracy theories like the RAW conspiracy in the Sri Lankan election(Which according our former president even Modi wasn't aware of)
Many Sri Lankan politicians make Anti-Indian and Anti-western statements even though some are obvious lies mostly to get support

Lanka in non issue in our politics except TN. How come you guys club rest of India with TN? Time to educate your populace about how big is India.
Bangladesh also views India through West Bengal prism.
TN is very culturally and historically linked to SL. Sometimes the closest relatives have the most bitter problems with each other for various reasons.
Some time I wonder if SL plays dumb when it comes to promoting good neighbourly relationship with India.
Sometimes I wonder whether India is a giant toilet bowl that Sri Lanka unfortunately has to live next to.

What? "Pro-Indian" people are mostly intelligent? What kind of stupid statement is that? Actually "Pro-Indian" stance is the most dumbest of them all. Maybe some people take the "Pro-Indian" stance for economical or any other benefit. However I do not advocate "Anti-Indian" policy is of any good. What Sri Lanka should follow is more moderate stance when dealing with India.
However it's evidently clear that RAW (or any relevant authority) had some kind of intervention in 2015 election. It was long suspected that JVP is on the RAW (or any relevant authority) payroll. We cannot deny the fact that India has some pressure point in Sri Lankan political system.
Can you tell me what are the obvious lies of Anti-Indian and Anti-western statements?

You can't even read and making stuff up right here. I didn't call pro-Indians intelligent I called Sri lankans that are neutral and open minded intelligent
Making stupid statements here and even stupider conspriracy theories
