India accepted the TN resolution but rejected some of the clauses of it
it was the right thing to do, our foreign policy should be driven by center not by the sole interests of states.

The resolution is for Eelam demand in Srilanka, which the title is not indicating.
Eelam resolution is due to Amma's upmanship battle with Karuna. Not a practical one.
Should have stuck to war crimes resolution and 13th amendment implementation and step by step increase the pressure on the GOI - GOI used its defence assets in SL war after a promise by Rajapakshe and TN gov should lit the fire under GOI bottom with a calibrated escalation of pressure.
Mr. Gibbs , please don't try to create a rift between Tamils and other Indians. We absolutely agree with Tamils that they have not gotten their due in Sri Lanka and that Sri Lanka must ensure that they get their rights.We also agree with them that Sri Lankan Tamil's human rights have been violated .We only disagree with them as far as declaring Sri Lanka as a hostile nation is concerned.
Now since you guys have admitted your Bengali/Oriya origins and are buddhists anyway, tell us when do you want to be declared an autonomous part of India ? Give the date, or do you want us to decide ?
I agree with your post - we will agree to disagree on specific issues - same is the case with various other states and people as well but we part of the same nation.
But a curious question remains for me - not directed at you but to the fellow Indian members in general -
I saw many of the members willing to go ballistic against Italy for the Italian marines - what about the deaths of TN fishermen - does it not quality SL as hostile nation?(before someone can jump and say that TN crossed the borders, they need to take into consideration that would have been borders if Katchatheevu was illegally granted by GOI - illegal as it was not ratified by the two houses of the parliament)
Very true, Best way to deal with this problem is not Eeelam but making Srilankan Tamils a strong lobby, which GOI is taking initiatives. GOI also helping the displaced Tamils with aid.
The Italian incident got much attention because it was an unusual country away from India and also because of the drama of bail and not returning etc etc, on the other hand srilankan navy we know that it's there and it's our neighbour, crimes are same but nature and parties (offenders) are different. similar question can be asked about Delhi rape case that why only that one got all the attention ?
Not sure GOI is taking initiatives - Can't trust GOI as well in this one - just read an article written by an ex-ambassador of India - GOI initially was concerned about the verbiage in the U.S brought UN HR resolution until it saw the students fury in TN and asked US for last minute change in the intensity of the resolution but US rejected it.
Onus lies only on TN - TN need to pressure GOI - else this issue will be forgotten just like how the 1984 sikh riots were more or less forgotten.
