Re: India has rights of an elder brother, says Lanka.
is there any such thing as a truly independent country? sri lanka depends on indian govt to prohibit LTTE operating out of india (which india has done a great job in the past decade and a half), and given how big the LTTE menace currently is to sri lanka, it has good reason to listen to india's opinions.
Last I checked, LTTE has always been a problem... Now they are attacking by air and by sea... I mean, have you been reading the news?
Still, advice is worth listen to no matter where it comes from, if its good advice... In this case, this is bad advice, given not as advice but as a cloacked threat.
