Then there is really no point in going ahead with this conversation, stalemate in diplomatic front is obvious.

For members who are interested in exploring the issue. Indian side of the argument https://carnegieendowment.org/files/Suryanaryanan_Fisheries_Dispute_.pdf SL side of the argument https://citeseerx.ist.psu.edu/viewdoc/download?doi=10.1.1.504.8838&rep=rep1&type=pdf Latest by ORF, wondering if...

ok, let's take this up. This was my original quote, not "tn politicians did it". if the goal is "prevention of loss of life", say for a final agreement on non-confrontation on the seas, some boundaries are to be set on both IN and SL sides. On Indian side will GoI negotiate directly with our...

answer is you educate people who you think don't know the specifics, either you should be willing to take up the cause ( most times without any reward ) or you don't. but it's a give and take. generalisation is not just regarding this issue, it's a common occurrence, there is no way you don't...

as far GoI is concerned, i too have qualms about the way it functions. during independence they told my family, we could keep our lands. after independence they told us GoI will take our lands and pay honorarium every year, IG took away that honorarium too. to each their own. we disagree on...

because TN government is a stake holder. just like WB government was a stake holder in BD enclave exclave issue. https://www.thehindu.com/news/national/tamil-nadu/india-sri-lanka-to-hold-talks-on-fishermen-issue/article33274506.ece

don't assume things on my behalf, if i have a point to make directly, i will. i wanted to give you a background, and i did in the post before this. didn't we have this same conversation a few years/months ago? i have already given the answer in my earlier posts, if you don't agree with...

it's not about feelings, it's about the state of affairs in TN. under current after under current at local level is being deliberately created one after other. something is happening in entire south India, i am not liking the direction it is going. and this is the reason i don't think at this...

- "You ppl temil identity problem.." last week or week before last, a dravidian-politics fanboy was accusing me in a conversation starting every sentence with "you northees" (which i am not) "you hindi people" (which i am not) , i studied in TN, i worked in TN, my wife is from TN. so tamil...

@Holy Triad just to add a point. if a solution via negotiations are not being found, it means there are non-negotiables in play(obviously). trying to figure out these non-negotiables from all parties involved is also one way to understand this even better on why negotiations are going slow...

"Govt should take care of it" is a generic statement with no specifics. "Govt should take care of it" applies to almost every topic we discuss at DFI, so that's a given. In this topic, Govt of India is only one of the stake holders. from Indian side alone from my point of view : fishermen...

my bad not that loc, this is Line of credit.

correct, this applies to almost every discussion here at DFI. but my endeavour has been to encourage discussions taking as much wider inputs into considerations as possible, rather than the typical solution of "Govt must take care of it" which needs no brains to come up with and 90% of the...

Thanks for being frank about it. majority of the discussion on the topic during the last few pages was revolving around "tit for tat" responses, suggestions being made are escalatory in nature like shooting at SL navy/coast guard, LOC conditions , maritime militia etc etc. sure they have a...

i was hoping for a meaningful discussion.

sure, when GoI learns aggressive foreign policy, we can think of these things. it's not that i am not thinking on these lines, i am just presenting feasible option within the limitations of past behaviour of India's foreign policy.

prove this with data, along with yearwise cumulative loan amount, number of boats purchased, and type of boats and their capacity.

in my view this conflict resolution should be done in a phased manner. 1) our fisherman who are getting into conflict areas should be identified. 2) they should be encouraged to form co-operative of sorts 3) those co-operatives should be given low interest loans to buy bigger vessels which can...

that was a low blow. Can you understand Tamil without a translator in between?

Fundamental reason is basically over-fishing after LTTE matter got resolved. everything else is local politics.
