True!India is a neighbour of SL and its moral and practical duty of India to help her neighbours in whatever way is mutually beneficial. It is not only true for SL but also for Nepal, Bhutan, Bangladesh and Myanmar. IPKF had gone to SL under the mutual agreement between the two countries with the aim to help out LTTE and Govt of SL. It is a diffrent thing that LTTE chose otherwise. When the Govt of SL also desired that IPKF should be withdrawn, it was withdrawn. Like the Para Brigade took part quelling a rebellion by JVP in 1971 / 72.
For your kind information, your own president did not have faith on SLA and the presidential palace was guarded by Indian SF for good about three years ! There was so much infiltration of fundamentalist Buddhist JVP in SLA that it became unreliable.
IPKF shed lots of Indian blood to ensure sovereignty and integrity of SL. You call that Indian Vietnam. You can not be a true Srilankan.
I fear Sinhalese will go failed state pakistan's paki way and then go on a downturn and get disintegrated, they are behaving in the same manner!
