India was one of the original targets, that was there in the intelligence report itself. The High Commission was a prime target, didn’t happen because of enhanced security. Also the Taj Hotel escaped only because there was an issue with the bomb which went of later in a smaller place.
Yes. Indeed. Indian High Commission was said be targeted.

Infact, what happened in April 21 was a watered down attack. They were planning a much bigger scale attack covering the entire island. Incidentally they were only left with about handful people for final operation.

This attack was clearly done to malign the then SL government. This attack boosted Rajapaksa's election campaign who is pro China and we all know about Chinese using Pakistan to fund such activities.
Incidentally Rajapaksha had won his campaign on national security

Anyone could say that yes. But, I presume RAW didn't do anything to stop that. They had enormous clout in SL politics during the last government's tenure. So, you suggest that RAW is incompetent?

You mean physically intervene to stop attack? If that's not what you are alluding to, then please re-jog your memories a little. Rest, whether an organisation is incompetent or not is outcome of the expectations on it. If you project certain expectation on RAW, which may lie outside it's mandate, you would feel it failed.

What? Rajiv G helped Sri Lanka during his term as a prime minister? He made it worse IMHO. He helped Prabhakaran escape with his life in 1985 when Sri Lankan army almost surrounded him. He forced our then President JRJ to abandon the highly successful military operation against LTTE. What are you talking man?

We massacred Tamils based on ethnic superiority and religious hatred? Sinhalese are quasi Hindus. They worship Hindu Gods. There was no religious hatred. And about ethnic superiority issue. You don't know Sri Lankan history at all. It is like a Pakistani lecturing about the Kashmir conflict to a Indian.

Sinhalese have already apologized for what they have done. It is the turn of the Tamils to do the same.

Rajiv stopped all support for LTTE and provided IPKF to you which essentially broke the backbone of LTTE within 2 years . Prabhakaran was fighting for the right of life of Tamils who you slaughtered like cattles for decades. He did right by giving it back in the language your gov understand.

You do know USSR wasn't happy with your tantrums either. You were supposed to be be punished really hard for your 1971 misadventure against India. You must feel lucky that we had Rajiv Gandhi as PM and not Modi or Amitshah.

You want Tamils to say sorry for what ? :playball:

Ohh yeah there women were raped children killed they were massacred because they had darker shade spoke different language didn't follow Buddhism?

Now regarding whether sinhalese are quasi Hindus or not doesn't matter because they aren't even Buddhist if we go by scriptures.

Nor does Indian Hindus follow their faith properly when they bow down to a majaar of pir etc.. but that doesn't mean they aren't hindu.

You haven't done anything as such as apology is concerned even now your gov has only thrown the Tamils out of their land and those who came as refugee from srilanka still lives in India.

Accept the genocide you did first that's how an apology starts.

@HeinzGud doesn't realize that any anti India moves will get his country squashed like a tomato and turned into ketchup.

China is far far away. India on the other hand is just a Ram Sethu away. Tread carefully or enjoy an Article 370 on your island.

I'm sure an Indian occupation of SL would do wonders for your genestock and cricket skills.

That was uncalled for...
Nonetheless, India is building a new weapons storage point in sulur, just in case Rajapaksa decides to get naughty and have an affair with China, and build a chinese military base.
The Chinks were badly exposed in Doklam, where they stepped back from building the road in South Doklam. An India, which can deter China at China's border, can squash any chinese military presence in Sri Lanka, chew the chinks, and throw out the bones, before any backup arrives in a war. After that, it would be Sri Lankan military's turn to be hit.

Gotabaya's right hand is a Chinese plant. His brother is a Chinese supporter and now appointed as PM.

It's obvious that they will try bullshit like giving a Chinese naval base or listening post or inciting anti Tamil sentiment and using that to forment Dravidian polarization in India to hurt Hindu unity.

Any time these guys act up, we are going to particularly enjoy deploying in force and picking apart the OPFOR. India of 1989 is not the same as India of 2019.

Yes of course. If China instigated an attack of such a magnitude, in far flung corner of their periphery. Imagine, what they would do with in India. There is no use of RAW or any Indian intel agency. You people better disband them.

Lol Raw is Indias external agency not SL. If lankan agencies dont act on RAWs advice , its not our fault. That led to 250+ deaths and downfall of ex SL government.
Chinese are already funding North east seperatists.

Rajiv went on a tiger hunting only after LTTE rejected his offer. LTTE would have been over by 1985, if he didn't intervene unnecessarily.

Tamils were slaughtered like cattle? Where did you learn that? What a bogus claim that is.

Oh, the USSR and India... all are baseless claims. Indira was very close and friendly with Sri Lanka through out 1970s until JRJ's return as President.

I want Tamils to apologies for spreading false claims on Sri Lanka. Tamils are not the native inhabitants of the island. That must be acknowledged and accepted.

Every pogrom that happened in Sri Lanka after 1950s was initiated by Tamils. Do you want to challenge that statement

China didn't directly instigate an attack. It has jihadis to support itself.
If India would've intervened physically somehow to fend off attack, it would again have been tagged as a drama.
The Only Jihadi support were from Middle East. Not from Pakistan.

Oh yeah right.. they can uproot governments, influence political decision making, spying and what not.. but cannot stop Chinese funded Jihadi bomb blast. What a joke. Dude, be little realistic.

LOL. Sri Lankans are more than 90% having Indian genes. Nothing will change if Indians come here and try to breed.

Dude RAW did warn lankan agencies about a possible terrorists attacks and agencies are no Gods that some divine power tells them about exact location ,time of terror attack. Its all based on trial and error.
U should ask questions to Lankan agencies for ignoring warnings.
Post attacks Indian NIA was invites by Lanka to investigate
