i think that's what he was trying to convey.look we don't have a problem if S.L. use this port for civilian purposes like trade and commerce but the moment it'll use this port to facilitate PLAN or P.N. ships it'll complicate the situation and the Indian Armed Forces will be forced to take necessary measures to ensure that our national security isn't compromised at any level!
No.
No, you can't unless these ports are used to be the basis for attacking india during war time.
as if we care what the others will think of us!i have already said it a thousand times that no one in this planet has the ability to challenge the might of the Indian Navy in the I.O.R.(i am not counting the U.S.N. because we are strategic allies with lots of common interests).most probably no one will utter a word against us because we are far too important to them in the world political scenario than Sri Lanka(but then again they are not that much of a popular country at present after everybody got to know about their atrocities against the minorities of S.L.).believe me or not but India is more than capable to beat the living crap out of the Lankans whenever we want to and no body not even PLAN has got the guts to intervene on behalf of S.L. not at the present scenario!
Or China could just ship SL enough weapons to make sure that SL doesn't need to depend on anyone to ensure the goodwill of ethnic minorities in SL.No.
SL will not permit naval vessels of China for the very reasons that it also depends heavily on the West and India for ensuring the goodwill of the other communities that make up SL!
And China is clever enough not to upset the apple cart!
As the matter of fact, yes, you care! That is why you are whinning that Chinese is expanding the influence into IOC.
No, you are not their allies. Their job over there is prevent anyone from controlling that sea area except themselves. Indian navy happened to be the force having that ability and out of their command in the mean time. So, you are their number one potential target in IOC.
No one doubt that India is mighty enough to beat Sri Lanka. The point is you cann't use military forces against them unless they publicly stand with your enemy in the war. That would be diplomatic disaster for India.
In that scenario your act will be considered as support for China similar to what [allowing PAF refuelling & docking USN in ports] you did in 1971 for pakistan...
There is a large Tamil population of Indian origin in Sri Lanka, India is concrened about their well being and progress, India will continue to be support Tamil aspirations in Sri lanka, if someone likes it not...Or China could just ship SL enough weapons to make sure that SL doesn't need to depend on anyone to ensure the goodwill of ethnic minorities in SL.
Typical Chineese mentality...
Sri Lanka has already had back stabbed India in 1971 when it allowed refulling PAF and docking USN 7th Fleet in their ports...
One has to understand realpolitik.Or China could just ship SL enough weapons to make sure that SL doesn't need to depend on anyone to ensure the goodwill of ethnic minorities in SL.
@HeinzGud look at Ray, he's implying India could incite ethnic strife in SL if SL doesn't kiss India's arse all the time
If India needs oil bunkering facilities, India can also request from SL. sure SL will consider such a request.
I do not think India needs it... But it expects that all its neighbors to be neutral in any propable future conflicts"¦
Sri Lanka/Sri Lankans do not consider India as a friend or enemy. It's just another country to us.
India couldn't even control the Tamil militia groups there created so it should not to be taken as a threat.Or China could just ship SL enough weapons to make sure that SL doesn't need to depend on anyone to ensure the goodwill of ethnic minorities in SL.
@HeinzGud look at Ray, he's implying India could incite ethnic strife in SL if SL doesn't kiss India's arse all the time
the last time we made a serious strategic mistake,but this time we'll make sure that S.L. ceases to exist as a free and independent country.we'll abopt the same tactics which we have adopted in case of Balochistan creating a group pro-indian Tamil freedom fighters in S.L.we have got everything necessary to do this including huge amount of money and we all know that money matters most in every conflict.
