Description
India in Sri Lanka Between Lion and the Tigers by Avtar Singh Bhasin The complex history of Sri Lanka has been marked by turmoil, with the Tamil community at its centre. While issues surrounding citizenship for Tamils of Indian origin have largely been resolved, the problem of ethnic Tamils remains unresolved. India's involvement in brokering a solution to this issue has had unintended consequences, raising Tamil expectations and increasing their intransigence. India's decision to intervene militarily led to an armed conflict with the very people it sought to protect. This intervention ultimately proved self-defeating, leaving Sri Lanka battered and frustrated. The experience highlights the limitations of interventionist policies in today's world. This book provides a nuanced exploration of India's involvement in Sri Lanka's turbulent history, shedding light on the complexities of this ongoing conflict.
