When did our pockets get so deep,
Gratz to SL for Bagging this deal.
Clearly they showed my government they were worth the investment
Peaceful nature?
There wouldn't have been any LTTE or any PLOTE if the Sri Lankans and especially Sinhala's were so peaceful.
Couple of years back a buddhist monk blew himslef next to a Bollywood concert.

Indira Gandhi supported LTTE to keep a check on Lanka the policy which Rajiv Gandhi reversed and paid the price for.
Lanka needs another check before we have one more hostile neighbor. (e.g Bangladesh)

There is no doubt that our foreign policy is confused, the reason is Pro US MMS, US always supported anti India forces, there is no foreign minister (sm krishna's knowledge is limited to state politics, that to he messed up), Tharoor was the "Twitter minister."
So, still we have not decided what to do where to head. We are moving directionless and easily get diverted by even small changes/forces.

It thing the highlighted word should be "was".
India has realised its mistakes and it is course-correcting now.

Please explain how?
Reference - Shame at Sharm El Shaikh, Afghan Attacks, Chinese/Pakistani presence in Lanka, Nepal showing attitude to India.
You are right. But recently India has blatantly supported Iran, much to the discomfort to USA. It is also improving ties with Russia and China as well. Something seems to be cooking up. Relation with BD and SL are also getting better. As Nepal is concerned, it is is not that worse.
IMO, Headley case was the turning point. It gave indication that USofA knew more than it petended to know.
We should cement out friendship with Russia, France, Brazil etc. because they don't fall to US pressures.
The US always supported anti India elements and continue to do so, also US is depended on china and will not do any good to India. It is also true with their allies like South Korea, Canada and Australia etc.
With US we should have business relations as they only understand the language of money we should hard bargain with them.
For better relations with US we should wait for the Obama to get out of white house.
What deal?
Its pure business.
Its loan not aid.
All the projects mentioned otherwise are pure business.

do u know sri lanka is developing at the cost of India, our govt. has ignored the infrastructure so much in the past. That all the import/export to India goes to Dubai for western coast and Singapore for Eastern coast.
Do u know why because we don't have port that can support mother ships.
From there (Dubai/Singapore) the goods comes to India via small ships.
Same is with Sri Lanka they are earning due to lack of good ports in India.
As, sea route is responsible for our 90% of export/import Just Imagine when International Container Transshipment Terminal, Kochi will be ready, how much business loss for Dubai, Singapore and Sri Lanka.
International Container Transshipment Terminal, Kochi - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
International Container Transshipment Terminal, Kochi
The new terminal will make Cochin a key centre in the shipping world reducing India’s dependence on foreign ports to handle transshipment.
do u know sri lanka is developing at the cost of India
yeah, majority of it, is black money of Indians.
What are you some dinosaur from the cold war age ?You forgot all the military aid and equipment to Sri Lanka from India.
They were given on loan too.
Sri Lanka playing diplomacy with India?
Ever heard of Indian Oil Lanka?
Sri Lanka gets comparitively cheap petroleum products through Indian Oil's subsidary Indian Oil Lanka.
Due to the short distance there is a pipeline between two countries though which the refined petrolium products are provided to Sri Lanka.
Thanks to India the petrolium prices in Lanka are comparitive.
The moment that pipeline is locked the prices will sky rocket as Sri Lanka's refining capacity is less than actual demand.
The entire Lankan public transport is on Bajaj Autos, TATA and Ashok Leyland buses and TATA Sumo's. No one can provide cheaper subsidized public transport vehicles to the Lankans other than India.
Problem is with Indian diplomacy, which fails to show the neighbors like Lanka and Bangaldesh who is the boss.
May be foriegn ministry of India should take the lessons from BCCI who dictates and virtually owns Sri Lankan Cricket Board these days.
