Avoiding India is more important than anything else. India is a liability for BD, that is a problem.

You need to look at your country's map and two neighbouring countries, not to forget your bad blood with the Burmese.

Really???
Seems you are so obsessed with Toilets .Ok .Sweat shops may lack toilet.If you want developed face of India you should visit South India region nearer to the SL .There you can see states having HDI equal to developed nations.

PLA visited our territory for Dharna protest and this time they did it again and we send 1500 soldiers.
Just wait kid .We are largely modernizing our border area of NE region.
You guys are so much exploited the weakness of UPA,Congress govt.Now it is our turn.
Our neighbours except Pakistan cant dare to question our national security.You can take it leave it .Now wait for the docking of our nuke sub in Vietnam

oh, really? I did visit your kerala(kovonam, kochi) and tamil nadu(madurai,Kanniyakumari), they are better than north india but still pretty poor,chaotic and dirty. Your proud Bombay even is not match for our 4th tier cities.

you send 1500 soldiers for what? only act as tour guide and servents, watching PLA sodiers have a fun party. you can only dock your borrowed nuke sub in vietnam with your big mouth. try that first and inform me .

Lol. Unlike in self proclaimed Supa Powa PRC we cant initiate bulldozer development in here.Ours is a democratic nation and we are happy with our current status.At least we have job protection and facilities in here unlike sweat shops in China .Check our HDI status mr.Then you will get what I meant.And also we are much care about our environment unlike in China .
Its Kovalam not kovanam
We have our own indigenous INS Arihant and just wait one year you can also see INSAridhaman.

For those indians who point at SL supporting Pakistan in 71..

The Way Forward

unhappy over what they perceived as the Indian support to the LTTE in the years before its assassination of Rajiv Gandhi in May 1991. This unhappiness never turned into bitterness and hatred for India.
Anyone who knows Sri Lanka and the Sinhalese well would be aware of their genuine goodwill for India. There were instances in the past when Sri Lankan governments had taken steps which were detrimental to Indian interests. A typical example was before the 1971 India-Pakistan war when they allowed Pakistani Air Force planes carrying men and supplies to East Pakistan to refuel in Sri Lankan airports. When Indira Gandhi strongly objected to this, they discontinued it.

[Screambowl]

we indians need to revise our foreign policy. We do not have good relations with our neighbors, why?

 

[raveninthesky]

Oops very low standard Indian Media. acts like Emotional fools.

[/QUOTE]


The fact is SL is a Sovereign Country which is thriving for Development. What I saw in that Media report is betraying India, India should show it's Muscle power etc. Actually these kind of jokes just gives us laugh. Sri Lankans generally are much more developed and educated. India is important only as it's our neighbor, that's all. we have no special place for India neither any special hate towards them. we see India as just another country. by seeing level of quality of Indian media, I just could not stop my laugh...

China is investing $100 Billion in next 5 years in India. it is laughable when such country who are also getting helping hand from China complaining.

There's a huge hole in Indian foreign policy, mentality of self proclaiming as a big brother, and same thinking pattern eventually make it's neighbors to move away from India. SL keeping India at a distance, not as closest friend just as a neutral neighbor only.

I don't think India's ability to support Sri Lanka is limited... they have wilfully chosen not to support Sri Lanka on numerous occasions eg at the United Nations, where they voted with the US against Sri Lanka not once, but twice. It is nothing but Indian foreign policy failure that pushed Sri Lanka towards China. It all started with India refusing to sell offensive weapons to Sri Lanka in order to defeat the LTTE, which makes you wonder about their intentions. That is when the Chinese stepped in with their support, which has only grown to encompass political and economic support as well. The Indians did not want the LTTE defeated, what they wanted was for the LTTE to be contained in Sri Lanka, with a low intensity conflict that would keep the island within their tentacles.

What the Indian government wants of Sri Lanka is a client state that kow tows to them and that India can manipulate politically. They do not want an economically strong, independent Sri Lanka on their southern doorstep and have done what they can to stymie Sri Lanka's progress and independence. However, their backward and regressive foreign policy is backfiring... as can be seen here. Their government (and media) still does not want to hold up a mirror to their own face and take responsibility for their failures, instead they choose to adopt a knee-jerk response of screaming at Sri Lanka with arms flailing, and of course at their bette noire China. When they could have easily used the long standing cultural and historical ties between the two countries to cement a close and abiding friendship, the Indian government instead chose to distance themselves and backstab Sri Lanka on numerous occasions.

Who gives a shit about PLAN?
We are talking with our southern neighbour because they already had a history of supporting our enemies when a time arises .
We are reminding them dont repeat that again.You cant imagine our influence in SL because one of our states ethinc communties is there.
About our ships poor admiral from China demanded for seeing the CIC of INS Shivalik .Have you heard about an Indian naval Chief do that ?

indians give a shit or this thread will not have 160 posts.

as for the admiral you are referring to, all the participants got to see the CIC the next day. The Chinese admiral did not demand to see the control center but just asked. Big mouth india media in collaboration with big mouth unprofessional indian navy personnel leaked the story to the press turning a simple request that turned it into a big news story.
