Sri lanka is an Independent country and deserves to make its alliances pro- or anti India serving it's own national interests. India would prefer if sri lanka preferred a pro india stance due to its close proximity to India. Sri Lankans associating themselves with Pakistan raises serious issues, and ISI's activities in lanka, puts them forward as a government allowing their land to be used against India.
If Sri Lanka does go into a pak-china camp it will be utter failure of Indian foreign policy, Sri lanka can play this leverage game for their benefit.
But then in repercussions, Lankans will have to forego assistance from India and Pak cannot cry foul for Indian foothold in Afghanistan.
It's not just India that has a soft underbelly!
Well written,
As Skyline said, they hardly allow anybody to settle there specially Anti - Indian pakistani activities. They knew that India is the next door guy and have considerable tamil population. Though LTTE is finished, they can't ignore tamils and have to give equal rights. After this LTTE win thrumph ends and SL face elections, those tamil parties/groups are very important to gain power in a democratic political set up. Its all favouring India and Indian interests only.
Lastly the China factor, apart from Indian sub continenent, they have a tiny neighbour too at south and I did not think the F-18s rumor to enter SL air space is an accident.
Of course you do not , you were talking out of *** all the time being ignorant of the cold hard facts and ground reality and now you do not want to confronted with it ...
Really ? What source is there to support that claim ? I agree , India stopped supporting LTTE later but it wasn't for best interests of Colombo but rather the terrorist your country created started biting you in the *** and there was a surge in Tamil Nationalism with fears that they would start revolting against Indian rule ! The damage had already been done , there was a civil war in that Island country for 25 years resulting in the killing of more than one hundred thousand people !
How exactly did this " supposed " blockade helped Sri Lanka more than Pakistan providing it with military training and equipment which even the Sri Lankans acknowledged massively helped in defeating the Tamils ? Interestingly , there was not a single mention of India because it started the whole mess in the first place !
Kid , I saw Sri Lanka on the map when the LTTE was at its prime with active Indian support and I see it even now ... So keep your delusions to yourself !
India prevented US ? Nice one ! Yeah , India voted against Sri Lanka to help it , huh ? No future resolution had any hope of getting passed through UNSC since China is there , your country isn't ! Your vote didn't harm Sri Lanka but surely antagonized it against you ! So how exactly did India prevent sanctions ?
Indeed , a hard job of training terrorists and starting a civil war in a neighboring country , BRAVO !
Surely , China and Pakistan couldn't do it ...
Oh you gave them old USSR-Afgan era Rambo hormone to them to defeat LTTE. Well, I retreat from my earlier stance of Indian NAvy blockade.
