As a matter of fact we do not forget the help they provided us when we were down and on the verge of a monumental defeat. Without them, the story would have been very different.
Why should they?
They did what is best for there country and we did what is best for ours. Besides, India and Sri Lanka is like close relatives. We fight sometimes and get befriend on other times. There are no saints here. The best thing is to forgive and forget. As the Buddha said once;
you need to go back 3000 yrs not 70 yrs and read mahavamsa again to be reminded of your origins, which is Aryan. Eelam has been Tamils homeland and sinhala thugs usurped the island from Dravidian native nagas veddas etc. Aryan thug Vijaya from vanga (bangladesh) deceitfully stole the land from...
What did you create? The whole Regime change drama is a RAW coupe. Well of course it wans't only RAW but they also had a part to play. It is an open secret who controls TNA, SLMC and Tamil coolie votes.
I have already shown your how it was not a burden to Sri Lanka to manage the ports and the...
Rajapaksha is pro Sri Lanka as one member put it. Sometimes it might go against the Indian interests. We cannot help there. Sri Lanka was never used as a base for India activities until recently when the H'tota port was given to Chinese. Now we cannot help it either. It was another mess India...
If China sees MR as pro China then we can't help it. It is there own perception. Also, how did you know China funded the election campaign? Don't you know the US treasury spend lot more than that to reinstate Ranil to premiership. Don't you see any oddity in that?
The loan for the H'tota port...
Rajpaksa is a threat to India and we know it. You play your own game and we play ours.
The H'tota port was no burden for Sri Lanka. It was sold to defame Rajapaksa. Can't you comprehend this logic?
Same is true for the Mattala airport. If it had no monetary value, would India buy it out...
Mittal maybe the largest produce of steel but that doesn't mean Indians get the best stuff either. :)
We don't want Indian stuff so don't shove them down on us. It's simple as that. We have used several of your trains and they don't last long.
At least we do refurbish our own stocks. It's worth much more than importing units made of "Desi" Steel.
Under political pressure. Otherwise, we do not need Indian stuff. Even the mighty WDM2s are turned out to be gas guzzling smoke monsters. What else to talk about anything else.
Yes we do.

Besides, we can import far better models from China.
We have no intention of buying "Swadeshi" crap just because they are locally made or cheap.
There is a rumor that Sirisena requested to be nominated for the 2020 Presidential campaign in return for the break he provided to the Rajapaksha clan. The deal might materialize, only time will say.
For the most part there will be a coalition or something like that as many SLFP members...
Sirisena never had a strong vote bank in the first place. Therefore, votes he can garner is of no concern. MR already has 100 MPs now. RW has around 101 currently. TNA with its 16 MPs would go with the RW but there are strong indication of UNP stalwart will break away and join MR. It just a...
Yes your statement is mostly correct. Though Rajapaksha has shaky legal backing as of yet he is who the majority people want to see as the PM. Ranil W is somewhat legit in his claim to the Premiership but it will depend upon his ability to hold the majority of MPs in parliament.
