Re: India has rights of an elder brother, says Lanka.
Thats a question that needs answering... Where are the Tigers getting their weapons/ How are these supplies getting to them? Even if we assume that these weapons come from Pakistan as most Indians probably do, how is it that India allows its terrirtory to be used to deliever these weapons?
Re: India has rights of an elder brother, says Lanka.
^^ Not only that...
India is handicapped in its support to Sri Lanka
LTTE terrorists get their weaponry from Tamil Nadu.
India won't dare give Sri Lanka offensive weaponry so that Sri Lanka will have the capability to defeat the LTTE because its own Tamil population will get angry.
India will only supply Sri Lanka with defensive weaponry so that LTTE terrorists continue to attack and Sri Lanka on some future date gives up the fight and divides the island nation.
This is India's goal.
When Sri Lanka looks to other countries for weapons such as Pakistan and China, India acts all concerned about Sri Lanka.
Interesting... Although, if my Sri Lankan Tamil friend is any source, then Tamils have legitimate beef in Sri Lanka... India should try to stay as neutral in this as possible, cosidering they have such a large Indian Tamil populus themselves.
Re: India has rights of an elder brother, says Lanka.
this idiot doesn't know that a divided sri lanka would make LTTE claiming tamil nadu as its territory. so why would india do that. Moron talks like a great military analyst!. as far as tamil nadu supplying arms goes, let the lankan government tell this. then we will listen. If they had any complaints, indian companies wouldn't have been allowed to business there.
and before vomitting anything, back it with links or proofs
Why would LTTE want Tamil Nadu as well?
The LTTE are formed in Sri Lanka to get a territory of their own because they are discriminated against in Sri Lanka by Sinhalese.
As for weaponry. Every single person who knows anything about the conflict knows that LTTE and their supporters in Tamil Nadu get their weapons from India.
They use Freighter Ships who dock 50 miles from the Sri Lankan coast and the Sea Tigers transport the ammo and weapons on to Sri Lanka via speed boats.
Even the LTTE Air Force is smuggled from India.
As for complaining. Sri Lanka has complained many times but because India has huge investments in Sri Lanka and if it were to pull them the fledgling Sri Lankan economy would collapse.
Re: India has rights of an elder brother, says Lanka.
yeh india is supplying LTTE with weapons, right after the indian army fought them in sri lanka, and the indian PM was blown to bits by LTTE operatives. pakistanis arent exactly known for their brain power now, are they..

I never said that the Indian government is supplying LTTE with weapons.
I am saying that Tamils living in India are supplying LTTE with weapons and the Indian government knows about it and wont take any action as it could cause a Tamil insurgency in India.
And thus similarly, India will never supply Sri Lanka with offensive weaponry because it will antagonize the Tamils living in India

Re: India has rights of an elder brother, says Lanka.
actually, you could even get nukes at one stage in black market or perhaps even officially ;). that's why the concerned government or its military doesn't allow foreign agencies to interrogate its scientists ;)
Re: India has rights of an elder brother, says Lanka.
So which ports do they use to smuggle these weapons?
there should be no dearth of ports when they can have their own naval ships. Perhaps jaffna, which happens to be under their control and second largest city of sri lanka

Well, I dont know about nukes, but plans yes.
Still, we are getting of the subject.
The point here was that India is trying to flex its little muscle at our expense...
It claims to be a super power and is trying to usurp our rights in South Asia.
First you denied this, then when I showed you the article you started talking about how India has some kind of Right to make such a claim.
I can tell you this much, India trying to act like big brother isnt in anyones best intrest, certainly not Indias, for a number of reasons..
Whether you like it or not, peace in the region depends on mututal respect, not hegemony... Pakistan for one, will not stand by and allow India to Bully it.
