SO SRI LANKA IS SHOWING ITS TRUE FACE . . . . .
I agree with you....Already there is a deep level of trust level definciency between people from Tamilnadu and Sri Lankans. So any more physical connectivity is not desired at all. Rather focus on existing infrastructure and strengthen it.
What relations? TN does not have a separate foreign policy of it's own. Neither does any of it's political parties have any influence over the central govt. as it was in the previous UPA govt. People of TN do not give two hoots about Tamil nationalism. Most of them would love to visit SL for a vacation. And there are many traders from both places who constantly travel for selling and buying stuff. Also there are many Tamils from both places who like to travel for pilgrimages to the various temples in TN and SL. Honestly, the TN-SL animosity is a myth (at least as far as the TN side is concerned, I know it is so), propagated by small fringe parties vying for attention. If Rajapakse had been in power these groups in TN could have exploited that sentiment. However, after the change in leadership, TN Tamils do not care much.
Under water tunnel ?
Seems we are going to take lanka for a grand ride, it will only remain on paper for years. As other ppl suggested hovercraft/ferry service is the best , economical viable and technically feasible.
What face.. ?

Definitely not financially viable at the moment.And India would have to share most of the cost.
This idea has been there for a long time and has never gone ahead, I don't think it will go ahead for the next few decades
They even said they will build it 6 years ago!
@samv - the same idiot Tamil leaders of TN also demanded a Tamil Nadu nation to separate from India sometime ago....naturally the people of TN will have nothing to do with it.
I know it will be difficult for SL and even rest of India to understand the true pulse of people of TN. The fact is a humongous majority of people of TN do NOT support separate Tamil nation - whether in India or in SL. They did sympathize with SL Tamils quest for fair and equal treatment BUT when LTTE et all started using terror tactics, that sympathy also turned to more of sadness than support. Sadness because the SL Tamils ended up being violated by the LTTE itself in addition to not getting fair and equal treatment!
Sorry, not buying it. Tamil Nadu has been an endless curse for Sri Lanka.
