Re: India bullies small Sri Lanka and cringes before giant China
But India should expect such things from Pakistan, eventhough Pakis are more than 3 thousand kilometres away from Sri Lanka.
Sooner or later Pakistan will try to “encourage” Sinhalese government in Sri Lanka for more arms purchase, this is not because they want some solution to this ethnic conflict but to make situation complicated for India and get some leverage in return.
I will blame Lankan government as well, why can’t they look into earlier suggestion of India, where they were asked to grant “autonomy” to Tamil majority areas, same as Indian states enjoy considerable autonomy and elect their own state government.
At least this will mark a beginning. I think Mahinda Rajapakse has adopted a rigid stand than previous governmnet.
