This channel always ignores the Tamilians of Ceylon and only one side of the story of Lanka! Do not trust this media
First, you should cover Tamilian troubles on Indian occasions, You don't have cuts....
Great to see SriLanka and India coming together for development and trade.
That is for ambani...ignorant

So it will backfire. You helped to bring Rajapaksha by orchestrating Easter attack using raw agent pulasthini but backfired. Sri Lanka are not fools
Development starting from the construction of the first toilet
India should be very careful dealing with its neighbours and must accord a very high priority to self interests. If all these investments bear no returns for India then India must reconsider ...
I agree
Right ✅️
Interesting. What should the US do about Mexico?
India needs to understand without proper security accords and written agreements there is no charity...some strong favorable benefits should be pre condition...because it's srilanka which keeps us backstabbing so they have to show to us that this tiny nation ungrateful can be trusted
The same is true of Britain, which ruled India for hundreds of years without teaching Indians how to eat with tableware. The investment of East Indies Company failed😂
China love sri lanka.. Live from 🇨🇳🥰
That is INDIANS dream……
Sorry, it’s never going to happen.😂 Sri Lankan people never let them to do this. And don’t compare Sri Lankans with Indian People. Sri Lankans is very good cultural, historical & descent people in the world.
Indian politicians always try to make the Sri Lanka as a Part of India. It’s just a dream that not comes true for Indians .😢
India must invest in NE states. In terms of Sri Lanka friendship with India is positive. Unfortunately China's close relationship in Sri Lanka is a worrying factor for India
Why NE alone? What's your point here?... It is these types of idiots who push Sri Lanka towards China.
Sri Lankans love China and they know India would cry seeing China`s influence in helping them grow better.

Land bridge with a railway connection can improve economy and tourism of both countries. It'll make movement of goods and people cheaper and simpler.
tell me more about cheap indian torresists I mean tourists
Yes the traditionas, ethics everything are very peaceful which no harm on interacting..
this will only bring dirt, rubbish and diseases from India. Should never link the two countries with free movement of people!
Connectivity with bridge.. what will happen to South Indian cheif minister dream on activating Sethu Samudram channel.. 😂 Mr Ranil wickramasinghe is a visionary leader he used to talk very less but give the decision at right time in right manner.. I admired this Gentlemen. It's same to Mr Modi also how he developed India within his tenure by working together with USA and Russia..
oh, you imbecilic UNP goof ! Ranil is a visionary 🤣🤣🤣🤣 give me a break
20 years ago getting Sri Lankan ports were difficult for India. At that time, Sethu Samudram Canal is more important to India to strengthen South Indian Ports in states like Tamil Nadu and Andhra Pradesh. But, Cost of constructing Sethu Samudram Canal for Bigger ship is very high. Tamil nadu chief minister also well awarethat sethu Samudram Canal is not feasible, But both Tamil Nadu and North Indian political parties want to use this situation for gaining more votes during election.
But now situation changed major Indian companies can get and control Sri Lankan ports for far more cheaper cost. Now, India government lost its interest in Sethu Samudram Canal. Its nothing political or religious, its purely business.
Are you crazy? Ranil is betraying SL to India's interests.
I applaud the Indian Prime Minister for respecting his mother tongue, whereas our president still uses a foreign language to communicate Internationally and most of the time at home too. These colonial residues are still lurking in Sri Lanka among the upper and middle classes, who still think speaking English is a plus for them. President Wickramasinghe is playing it smart with the Chinese and the Indians. China is an excellent ally to have on one's side. The USA has learned it hard, which is a bit too late for its crumbling world status. Using the rupee for bilateral trade may pave the way for us to join BRICS+ in the future. Good job, Mr. President. If you speak Sinhala, which is your mother tongue, it will be a plus for you.
Got no problem if Sri Lanka can still retain sovereign sobriety after taking the Chinese economic assistance drug. But if you fall under its influence (it is a drug after all), you can forget any hope for peace. India only wants one thing from Sri Lanka: that Sri Lanka does not side with enemies of India. If in an effort to "balance ties", Sri Lanka falls over to the other side of the fence, Sri Lanka should then forget any hope for Indian magnanimity. Making an enemy of India in a three-way struggle of superpowers (USA, China and India) will not destroy any of these three nations (because they are all nuclear armed) but it will surely destroy Sri Lanka.

For better relationship between India and Sri Lanka , India should not intervene to the 13th amendment of Sri Lanka's constitution. 13th amendment is the major issue that tarnish relations between SL and India. As long as there is no talks about this clause of the constitution India and SL can go as partners. because majority of the Sri Lanka do not agree with the 13th amendment
What is 13th amendment
13th Amendment is part of SL's Constitution. Devolution of power to Tamil regions is an important issue.
@@mlg1279 how could It be done because Wickramasinghe is not holding a single election here In Sri Lanka
Then tamils should be given reservations in govt jobs, more investments in tamil region and scholarship for tamil students in science degress
@@deepblue3682 not in sufficient quantities but some improvement has happened in that Regions that you saying but I must say University entry is very hard to come by for both Sinhalese and Tamil students It is a tough advance level exam there.

Bad Idea ! We Sri Lankans don't want such a land bridge between the two countries !
Rather we don't want beggers. But it doesn't matter what is your opinion. Because beggars can't be choosers and this is the fact
Better strategy is to build a bridge. Open a oversease naval and command base in long run.. Open a university to improve educational and cultural ties. Allow free trade of agricultural goods over a period of time and make sure the payment happens in rupees. Scolarship for best academic students. We need a long standing strategic relation rather than just hiting short term goals..
India needs to help srilanka to pay the Chinese loans and kick the chinese out of hambantota and jointly handle hambantota with srilanka.
@@myriadmyriad5303 Oh Indians.. Always think they are right. Please get the fact that the Lankans prefer Chinese, not Indians. so rather trying to change Lanka you should change your own country.
The thing is srilanka politicians have become lazy and corrupt after countires like india or china trying to woo them. India has a neutral cause while china is trying to copy us in setting up foregin naval bases to keep other countries in check....all the while srilanka becomes weak and divided
Ram Setu should be the name 🇮🇳🤝🇱🇰
Did Ram build that bridge?🤔
@@Theunspokentruth77
No Xi Pingpong built it.
Guess that's the plan by Modi and shah.
Ram Setu is already there, it should be named something else which can of course be inspired from some other Ramayan reference on which both Indians & sri-lankans can agree upon😇

Yes we don't need a bridge...it will create a new problem
Of course India is very concerned about China, Sri Lankan should be remained neutral...
Srilanka sitivated closer to the 5th largest Economy called India .
Also the largest population in the world. Our friendship go back to centuries. Without seeking assistance from West & East Srilanka must approach India to solve the present crisis.
We hope President Ranil Wickramasinghe & Prime Minister Modi re write the history.
🎉
As a Sri Lankan what my message to Indian brothers is not to worry too much on Chinese invesments. China is keen on investung Hambantota and Colombo port city. India has enough space. To be frankly for us both China and India are really important with great respect.

Helping hands are always welcome. But need to monitor what will happen to the money. Loan alone will not make an impact. Because sl gov use money to pay debs only. No production. Happy holi🇸🇴
😊
For whole 30 years india backed LTTE and then now they suddenly felt so sympathy on Lankans. How funny. Neither China nor India have any true brother hood neighborhood or any other so called helping hand on Sri Lanka or any other country. They want somethin for some thing. All are business, geo politics, secrity matters. Furst of all anyone needs to look why these two countrues are so eager on a small island nation. It is non other than the power of indian ocean. You cannot get rid of Sri Labka in this case. Thats the truth and only reason. Do not forget lanka has 22 times bigger sea area owned for their own and india is 60 times bigger than lanka. So lanka is not smaller as you think.
First Sinhalese suppose to respect minorities, how many times did you burn our houses and killed Tamilians before 1983? Sinhalese created LTTE, First look at the history of Ceylon, now no more LTTE and what is going on over there? why are you grabbing Tamilian's lands? building a lot of army camps and demolishing Hindu temples, you suppose to say as a Sinhalese you will go after China,
Liberate Elam from Srilanka,India will have strong foothold.Indira Ji would have done it.Srilanka wants money only,China has advantage.
dream... oldf*ck
But why india chose sri lanka as battle field against China.India Should negotiate china direct.but using own brother as a tool and as a country china and sri lanka also ancient best friends.bharat also ancient friend of china.
No battelles let's teach even China and get thirr Zen Buddhism..Which the original Theravada Dhamma only make the world better place...
The underline strategy was to support people in Srilanka with culturally and visionary means ,targeting their political and economic goals uprising people born with two main ethnireligion flags common to both countries .The bad consequence was the growing poverty among poeple born with main ethnireligion flag in sri lanka opening vicious cycle effecting other flags also. This need a a fair solution .
Sri Lanka should get the best deals out of these power hungry countries. No country really cares about the people of the other countries, it's just geopolitics. There's no ''sweet neighbors'' in politics.
Both of the Nation brothers
Srilanka has no frends or enemy srilanka is a neutral cuntry and non Alliance
China engaged SL in neck deep level debt, so there is nothing much SL can do for India or rest of the world.
Northern Srilanka and Southern India will be an economic hub if done right.
Southern India is already a economic hub.
@@singhdeepak10 it will be even bigger.
As Sri Lankan I agree fully we should have deffence agreement with India. India and Sri lanka have history. We should handle this very sensitive matter carefully . Have a very open discussion with India. Going with India, SL won't regret it. They are own people we are same . They are brothers. We understand each other better .
Are you fking crazy? How can SL have normal relations with India with a TN there? This bridge will mark the end of Sri Lanka.
I'm a Sri Lankan, Narendra Modi is the best leader India had since the independence, He's balancing west and east really well. If there is any leader who could bring India to the top of the score board it's One and only Mr. Modi , Period ! On the other hand Ranil is a total clown , every Sri Lankan knows that, playing games like this between china America and India it's not gonna end well for Sri Lanka . Wish we had a leader like Modi in Sri Lanka, Sri Lanka could have been so much better 💪
😂lol
AS u Cooperate with Russia n USA , we cooperate with China and India
But Don't worry We will never let Indo - lankan relations break because of China
USA , RUSSIA , INDIA , CHINA All are our friendly country but do the indians love us ???
An important step towards friendship, growth and development which is good for both nations.
For sure that is the way to go. All the best to both countries.
I suggested about it to PM Shri Modiji and Piyush Goyal Sir on Twitter in 2018.
I am happy to know my suggestions are taken note of and they are thinking about it.
Thank you Modiji
If India wants Sri Lanka to be on their side, you should focus on Sinhalese not Tamils. even if all the Tamils and Muslims are together(which never happens) they can't even pass a bill. this is the reason behind India's failure in SL. They treat only Tamils and forget the Sinhala. and China did the opposite and won. wake up India! unless powerless ranil's agreements will become just piece of papers. for an example in India supporting Muslims is foolishness , hindus are running the country like that in SL Sinhala have the power by forcing about 13 Amenment and voting against SL India is foolishly loosing their ground on SL. and fueling hate toward India.
Do you hate Tamil because of ethnicity or because they are Hindu
Please Grow Up. India don"t want Tamils. China don't want Sinhalese. Both India and China want Sri Lanka's Land. Both India and China already started eating Sri Lanka's land. Sri Lanka will not return to their Glorious days.
Why do Sinhalese hate SL Tamils? Is it because they are not Buddhist?
Agreed.sinhalese will always support china.cuz indian all development plans in these days are totally for north(just for tamils).muslims and sinhalese dont like this.(this means india just target 12% of the country while china target other 85% of the country .) Long live china
....and somehow you know more about whom to deal with😂.
Tread the ground with Wisdom!!
Modi seems tirelessly working for American interest (after a free dinner) as a proxy, please come to senses and look into your own country and try to elevate the lives of Indians by building better infrastructure and facilities. Most importantly equal rights, by abolishing Caste system/ discriminations & religious freedom, for a better India. Good luck.
For anyone who knows what they are talking about, Modi is working for India's interests and has a routine of openly spitting on USA's face just to remind them their aukat.
Wakeup wakeup dream is over... !!
Blessing to you my India fr your love and compassion to shri lanka crisis may bagwan blessed you and you people india for your kind support to shri Lanka Jai Shree ram om namo shivaya namaha to you
Well, as a Sri Lankan, the part about India having a people to people link with Sri Lanka possibly resonates with a tiny minority. India overtly and covertly supported the LTTE and it's brutal war against the state of SL. Until of course the LTTE turned around and bit off the hand that fed it when they killed Rajiv Gandhi. This support to the the LTTE is something most Sri Lankans have not forgiven nor forgotten for obvious reasons. Having said that, India helped immensely when it came to finishing off the LTTE. And in current times, India has also helped SL as it reels from economics collapse. As India and China are at loggerheads and both are global powers with strong interests in the region, SL shouldn't make the mistake of choosing one over the other. ALthough in a different scale, Ukraine is a running example of choosing one over the other and paying a massive price for it. Sri Lanka, should stay neutral and work with regional players to the betterment of it's people. Right now, China has been demonized and most if not all corruption related issues are the fault of the political class and linked officials. If not China, who would have invested so much for Port City in Colombo? Nobody! And we Sri Lankans should be grateful to both CHina and India for their support. Getting the our house in order, rooting out corruption and rule of law is something we must sort out.
now no more LTTE and what is going on over there? why are you grabbing Tamilian's lands? building a lot of army camps and demolishing Hindu temples, you suppose to say as a Sinhalese you will go after China,
Colombo port city is handling goods for india...that's the profit for colombo !!...
A bridge linking India and SL is never in Sri Lanka' interests.
After seeing ur comment, I really think that we Indians should not support you guys , let china do whatever it wants with you, you guys are really selfish small islanders, who don't have the feeling for neighbourwood and the roots of your culture and people.. you just want help from whoever wanting to support you and in return you are giving nothing to us..
Can't stop helping them anyway.
Someone who was not elected by the people of Sri Lanka to represent it. Do you think he is acting in the interest of the people of Sri Lanka?
A bridge is a sensible idea. What took so long?
Chenab Bridge took 20 years. A land bridge to Sri Lanka could take 200 years.
No stupid. If Sri Lanka prosper, China and the world will also prosper . A win-win situation.
Why should we cry when some other country (Sri Lanka) wants to be neutral between India and China when we like to stay neutral when it comes to USA and Russia. Isn't it hypocrisy?
Neutrality isn't a gift, it's a capability. India can enforce it's neutral position through strength & economy. If Sri Lanka can do that, who's stopping. You think China will help Sri Lanka out of good nature?
India has its own reasons to help Sri Lanka & that is mutual growth in the neighborhood. As long as India's neighbourhood remains peaceful it helps both Sri Lanka as well as India in long term growth.
Sri Lanka can't pretend to be neutral & welcome spy ships on its territory while endangering Indian security interests, that's how geopolitics works. If Sri Lanka wants to show it's neutrality, then it should act against far away countries from using its territory against Sri Lanka's biggest immediate neighbour. As I said, neutrality is an inherent capability, not an external gift by someone else.
@@BeE_AriyaN There is no good or bad heart in diplomacy, the only thing your interest. Even India is not helping Sri lanka out of its good heart. The only thing is if sri lanka wants to reap the benefits from both sides, they are doing nothing wrong as per Indian standards as India is reaping benefits from Russia and USA. You can't expect other to take your side all the time when you can't take even decide who's side you are on.
@@Neo-Raider you misunderstood the point. Reaping economic benefits for the betterment of people of that nation is absolutely okay, I've never denied that. But you'll never find India allowing even a Japanese military aircraft, which was supposed to help Ukraine, to land here in India. & I must remind you, Japan is one of our most trusted & reliable partner out there.
You see my point. Sri Lankan govt. to help the Sri Lankan people is bound by duty to reap any economic benefits from any country whatsoever. But if that means Sri Lanka is going to give one of its lenders a military access to spy on one of its other economic lender, than my friend that's not neutrality at all, it's just being submissive to a great power at the cost of an immediate friendly neighbour.
Cow dung superpowers😂😂😂😂😂
India has been trying to colonize Sri Lanka for centuries but has failed miserably, the last of which was the 30 year war created by India. We don't want your money or your help. HANDS OFF SRI LANKA.
Sri Lanka is a🎉 neutral country in Indian ocean.donot 🎉you ever think Sri Lanka as a part of India.Historically India invaded Sri Lanka but Sri Lanka fought back for its independence
What can you expect from this Hindu woman? when reporting stories on China and Pakistan, she will not hesitate to add hoax, lies, misinformation, twisted facts and innuendos to the stories. She practices Hindu face saving journalism. Hindu face must be saved at all cost.
Srilankan trade with China will be only one way. Lots of imports for srilanka and resultant trade deficit and debt
This move will be vehemently opposed by Sinhala right wing nationalists and Buddhist maha sanga which yield king making powers. They think Sri lanka will be Indianised if they have easy to travel facilities. They also opposed the direct flights from Chennai and Bengaluru to Jaffna.
There are direct flights from Chennai to Jaffna now. Tamil Nadu politicians are messing with SL politics. It is one thing to provide morale support to SL Tamils but quite another matter to disrupt India-SL relations.
@@cssuntherrao Sorry to say this, But, we don't have have great Tamil politicians to mess up with SL politics. Our Politicians purely works for Businessman and traders. Currently, India and China had started eating Sri Lanka's Lands. Please understand no Sri Lankan politician will stop it. Sri Lankan politician's know this situation very well. Remember this, Sri Lanka will undergo major Changes within in another 20 years. Remember this, Sri lanka will never return to its glorious days. Great Sri Lanka lost its Power and Chance to become powerful developed country long ago.
@@sunlotusexports5515 ok lol
You made that situation by yourself. You trained terrorists, you funded terrorism, you supplied weapons, you invaded us, you killed thousands of innocents and the result is sri lankans becoming anti india which is pure natural.
@@sunlotusexports5515 Sri Lanka lost its chance to become a great developed nation like Singapore because of inept, predatory, corrupt, short sightrd politicians. Even Lee Kwan Yew used to look upto Sri Lanka, till the early 1960s. Sorry to say but I disagree with you that Tamil Nadu politicians have & do keep interfering in SL vis-a-vis the Tamil political issue & draw in the Central Govt., for their own internal politics. India's concerns in SL is mainly to counteract the Chinese designs there and not for land grabbing. The Chinese want to imprint their presence & influence in South of South Asia via Sri Lanka. This is the reason for their interest in acquiring real estate in SL on long term lease, in the name of helping in econimic & infrastructure development.
Bridge between India 🇮🇳 and Sri Lanka has to be studied carefully what are the pros and cons. China presence in Sri Lanka not acceptable.
who are you to accept or not accept what they do? It's their country.. Americans say your relationship with Russians is not acceptable.. So you can't say anything to their country.
Good Idea and it will increase the
tourism in Sree Lanka.
Buddhism Hinduism and historical relationship comes from India.. We like our Hindu brother with peace of other religions
This Bridge is important for us. India should build it asap - msg from Jaffna
as a Sri Lankan,But if a bridge is built between the two countries, it should only be used for the transportation of goods and oil. It should not be used for the transportation of passengers.

Will these measures make Sri Lanka to not get fiddled in the hands of China...Sri lankan leaders could not be trusted..When their economy improves they will forget our help..Better to keep some distance from Lanka..Land connectivity is not a good idea...
100%
That's short sighted thinking. Neglecting good relations with SL would lead to bigger problems for India in the form of having to deal with increased presence of China in their Southern flank.
Important Southern Parts of Sri Lanka is already in Chinese hands, Important Northern Parts of Sri Lanka is already in Indian hands, Currently, India is strenghthening the connectivity to Northern Lanka.
This Bridge is the greatest move by Indian to control Northern Shores of Sri Lankan. This Bridge helps india to move more products made in India to Sri Lankan Market by land. This will make Sri Lankan depend more on India
@@cssuntherraoThen India should arm Taiwan and Vietnam if China tries to instigate SL against India. SL is too weak and small to be anything more than a nuisance.
@@Damien_Mctyline Of course SL is a small country which should not be bullied by India, China or any other. It is puerile to think that SL would fall into the trap of China instigating it against India. All what SL is interested in is its own development and any country willing to help would be welcome. SL values it peaceful relationships with all its neighbours & does not take sides. SL-India relationship goes back many centuries, even millenia and SL looks up to India but not at the cost of its own sovereign integrity. Your comment on Taiwan & Vietnam has no relevance here.

Sri Lankan is not India. Sri Lanka is an isolated Island. No bridge needed. India Sri Lanka don't need you. India has put Sri Lanka in bad situation.

The first question that comes to the mind is, can it cause harm to the Rama Setu?
No and it can protect the Ram setu from future attempts of making ship corridors
A Tamilian/Keralite has more in common with a Srilankan than someone from North India. India and Srilanka should work closely.
A Keralite only has something common with the Vatican, not with other Indians
Hilarious how Christian Britishers couldn't make themselves to behave like humans and treated brown Indians like filth and dirt and degraded our culture our gods as beastly.
Now we have the same brown indians feeling inspired enough to follow their british masters religion.
I am afraid that's going to be happen. There will be political changes in future elections of Srilanka. And mojority of Srilanka public did not concider either China or India as a true n honest friends. They are just diplomatically and culturally close. That becouse how Indian and Srilankan leaders handle their relationship after the indipendence. However India and Srilanka had long history and Srilanka always respect to India.

You shut up and watch. We are gonna make Sri Lanka one of states and rename with a better name.
Sri Lanka first invited India, not China, to invest in Hambantota port, but India was not interested! India is interested investing in Northern Sri Lanka? So, don't complaint.
One request: Can India make cities there as clean an non-chaotic as Sri Lankan cities?
Sri lanka people (Ravana)when worshipped Lord shiva they became the golden country.But after converting the other religions see what they have become.
This apply to India also Ashoka the great and harshavardana were the worshipped Lord shiva and they are greatest rulers at thier times.But when they started worshipping other riligions bhddism thier kingdom fell and their next generationost cant defend thier home and lost the power.
Indians should never forget the history.

cont.from Below): Seems many *Sri Lankans* (and _Indians_ ) here have *forgotten* original *history* reasons why *_both_** Sinahala* and *Tamil* leaders of Sri Lanka refused to
*_join India_* in 1947 - i.e *Because* , Nehru was maniacally and adamantly promoting *Han China's Maoism* and " *_China-best-brothers_* " ( "Hindi-Chini *_Bye-Bye_* ") despite both *England* and *America* fearing this scenario, albeit for different reasons. Sri Lanka's *John Kotelawala* of *UNP* and *Senanayake* , and then *Tamil* leader *G.G.Ponnambalam* , all *_hated_** China Maoism* ; Both *Sinhalese* and *Tamils* were adamant against becoming *China Mao's* outpost, which they feared India was becoming due to Nehru. This fear was of course exacerbated by *Britsh* under *Winston Churchill* , who wanted India _and_ Sri Lanka coming back into Britsh Empire (Common wealth), because of *own* fears it was *losing* military control of _western World_ to America, in confrontation with *Mao's-China* and Soviets. *Knowing* this, China _treacherous_ Maoists used *_same_* fears of *_both_* India and Sri Lanka, to spread *terrorist-Maoism* in both Sri Lanka and India; Using Maoists as front, they instigated the early distrust between *Kandyan Sinhala* elites _against_ *Indian Tamils* in the _Hill-Provinces_ (i.e. *not* _Jaffna peninsula Tamils_ ), *claiming* they were *Maoist **_China supporters_* trying to usurp Buddhist culture and heritage, and get control through *voting* power. This was cause of *original* Sinhala-Tamil dispute in Sri Lanka. After *China's* Maoists were successful in getting stooge *Sri-Mao Bandaranayake* (i.e. Mao-oriented SLFP party ) into power in 1960's-70s, their *China* _treacherous machinations_ were done - To cause spread of *chaos* and *war* to _North_ *Jaffna Peninsula* , which had nothing to do with *Kandy* elite Sinahalese' *Maoist* problems to begin with...

Very provocative and interesting title of the video is. However, why does China need to derail such a relations? Why does Sri Lanka have to accept China's ideas? People of Sri Lanka are adults, not children as you wish them to be.
I hope Lanka learnt it's lessons well from china
Sri Lankan does not like Indian but why Modi government wants good relation.
Very True, it's Sinhalese not Tamilians
Trincomalee located in Eastern Sri Lanka...
Don't let china to surf freely in Indian Ocean keep sri lanka under India's sphere of control otherwise india will be under threat of Chinese force from south also like north india India's interests must give priority at any cost
❤❤❤
I so much love india and it’s amazing culture and traditions..Wish to marry an Indian man someday
Wickramasingha was reading a paper i don't think security was included if it was he would have read it
We as Sri Lankan are against the building of that bridge
Just perpetuating a parasitical bleeding of lndia
Not the concrete bridge but should be made with land Reclamation
Tunnel would be a better option.
@jacksmith6015 even golden gate was damaged and rebuilt.
@jacksmith6015 DNT worry we made good sea Bridges in Mumbai.
@jacksmith6015 what bridge In Manipur?
@jacksmith6015 That Bihar bridge was built by the state government of Bihar,
If this bridge between Sri Lanka and India is approved then this bridge will be built by the central government of India and not by any state government.
Get the Chinese to build the oil pipeline between India and Sri Lanka. Then everyone shake hands and get on with business. Enough of this petty competition.
Good
India-Sri Lanka relationship hit rock bottom during the so called Tamil "ethnic" conflict but was really LTTE created violent conflict. To appease Tamil Nadu politicians, India under Indira Gandhi turned a blind eye to Sri Lanka's appeal to dismantle terrorist training camps in Tamil Nadu & elsewhere in India and denied their existence even when it was blatantly evident. Later under Rajiv Gandhi, India's violation of Sri Lanka's airspace to drop a few lunch packets in the largely Tamil populated Northern SL in name of humanitarian aid and induction of the much despised IPKF was the last straw Sri Lankans could take. This was epitomised by a naval rating trying to strike a blow on Rajiv Gandhi during a guard of honour. Such was the mood in SL. India lost the trust & affection of most Sri Lankans. To add to this, when Mahinda Rajapakse invited India first to develop the Hambantota sea port, India refused at Tamil Nadu's behest. Then SL turned to the opportunistic Chinese and economic partnership between SL and China grew stronger. SL cannot be blamed. Of course during the recent economic crisis in SL, India assisted big time to aid the recovery by initially providing bilateral loans and materials. They also backed SL in obtaining IMF loans. This is the way forward for India and Tamil Nadu should realise that they do no favour to the Sri Lankan Tamils by using the SL Tamil issue for playing their internal politics.
Oh god this is the first time seeing an indian talk about the reality. Thank you very much for the comment.
India lost trust to all its neighbours. India didn't let other neighbouring countries to develop, Also India didn't develop it's own.
The problem in SL is the Thereawada Buddhists are dead against Tamil Hindus. And started revoking citizenship of Tamils and other natives of SL right from 1948 itself. And sinhala Buddhists started butchering Tamils from 1960's, slayed Tamils with Axes very rampantly during vendetta factions onslaught in Northern SL from 1980's which gave rise to birth of Tiger in 80' decade from Jaffna and the civil started which resulted in genocide of ethnic Tamils.
@@Damien_Mctyline You have got many matters mixed up due to insufficient knowledge. The problem between Sinhalese & Tamils is lingo-ethnic and not religious. There are many Christians as well among both Sinhalese & Tamils. Buddhists worship many Hindu gods. The conflicts date back to dynastical Tamil & Sinhala origins in ancient times when Tamil dynasties such as Cholas, Pandyas invaded SL in the North. They were fighting against Sinhala dynasties and among themselves. After Independence, the situation was instigated with the call for Tamil cessesion by a Tamil politician, SJV Chelvanayakam. It snowballed. Citizenships of SL Tamils were never deprived nor revoked. What was in dispute was the citizenship of those Tamils brought over by the British during colonial times as indentured labour (slaves) to work in the upcountry tea plantations. These were called Indian Tamils & were not natives. After much deliberation there was an agreement reached between the Prime Minsters of SL & India in 1964, called the Sirima-Shastri Pact under which about half were given SL citizenship & the balance repatriated to India. There were intermittent clashes between Sinhalese & SL Tamils during which the Tamils suffered much more due to smaller population. It was in July 1983 that the worst attack on Tamils by politically backed Sinhala goons happened. No one is denying the plight of the SL Tamils & their rights and the need to investigate and bring to book those responsible for innocent Tamils being persecuted, tortured & killed by the armed forces during the final days of the war. This does not justify the hero worshipping of & glorifying the internationally condemned terrorist group, the LTTE & its late leader Prabhakaran who was a megalomaniac who killed even Tamil political leaders and an Indian PM. It would be like some Muslims glorifying Osama Bin Laden & Al-Queda for taking revenge on the Americans for bombing innocent Muslims in Middle East. Terrorism in Kashmir is another example.
@@cssuntherrao SL conflict is a result of a spill over of Dravidian ideology
It is amazing that India can invest so much in favour of Sri Lanka with extensive aids, where as North East India is very much ignore with the recent crisis and poor infrastructure.
China have and will always be Sri Lanka's economic friend.
This BJP has done & doing a lot to improve the North Eastern India, which was ignored by the Congress led Govts. The recent Manipur crisis has been fuelled by vested interests.
Isn't the recent crisis in Manipur fuelled by Christian militants, supported by the church?
Sincere intentions for each other's good. Prosper thy neighbour.
