In time these countries must be taught a lesson! Specially nepal and sri lanka.I think we need to seriously consider our ties around our country. I know that we are almost semi-isolated but there is something called national dignity as well. Israel too has an isolated neighbourhood but its citizens can travel and live easily in some of the most prominent countries on earth that all desire to go someday to. Hence we should revalue our ties around our neighbourhood; Tag Bhutan, Maldives, Nepal, Mauritius, Burma and possibly Bangladesh and Tajikistan alongside while give boot to anyone who fancies themselves against us.
SL, China, Pakistan and Pak-sponsored Jamaati in Bangladesh aren't the only world around us.
Rajapakse seems to have been around in matters wherever hate attacks or crimes against Tamil people have been conducted. Our government should take this into consideration that our people were attacked and killed. We don't need backstabbing countries around us to be appeased. If we cannot get all our neighbours as friends, we select a few good ones and establish relations in Southeast and Fareast rather than wasting time around with jealous, tiny states who've chosen their "lord" already and that is PRC.
These countries will also have to keep stuff in mind that should they entertain PRC's military against us in their territory in case of any conflict, they will also be the target of Indian military's wrath.
we were supporting LTTE for some time, but Rajpaksha always brought Pak or China card in between when talks with India.Do people realize what a parasite nation Sri Lanka is?
Sometimes I wish we just supported LTTE and partitioned that God-forsaken island.
Chinese arms, radar for Sri Lanka military
Sri Lanka`s military has inked several significant defence agreements with China, including those for the supply of modern radar and large quantities of ammunition, press reports said. The deals with Beijing come amid public statements from India expressing discontent with Colombo`s military ties to China and Pakistan. An order for Chinese radars is being routed through a company owned by Sri Lanka`s defence secretary, Gotabaya Rajapakse, reports also said. Meanwhile, India could provide training, spares and servicing support for Sri Lanka`s soon to be acquired Mig 29 jets.

With India reluctant to enhance defence cooperation with it, Sri Lanka [Images] has shown signs of turning towards Pakistan with a high-level defence delegation from Islamabad holding talks with senior officials in Colombo.
Pakistan Ordnance Factories chief Lt Gen Syed Sabahat Hussein held detailed discussions with Sri Lanka's security officials, including Defence Secretary and Lankan President Mahinda Rajapakse's brother Gotabaya Rajapakse.

They certainly are and will always be.However we Indians, who amongst all the fraternal siblings still hold on to the idea of civilizational nation state and hoping to come together again,its incumbent that we dont at cost tolerate one sibling butcher and annihilate another for a piece of real estate.This is why we had to intervene in East Bengal,its our moral duty to prevent one our own from persecuting another of our own.If you go into blood relations then even sri lankan buddhist are our people along with whole of pakistan.
