I don't want to piss on anyone.
I first came here pissed after Paki forum for supporting Israel and India. I thought most Indians would be more rational than South Indians. I don't blame south Indians but few months of posting proved that more Indians hate SL for mere foolish reasons!
From where you get into conclusion of your own??
No one hates srilanka in general as a matter of fact for most Indians Hindus(Buddhists sikhs jains)
its still a place that was blessed by Lord Rama so generally its associated with religious views and have positive vibes about that.
Support to srilankan cricket board despite european union and norway up against you asking for ban India is the country which supported srilanka and so that it manages to escape ban.
But that doesnot mean we will support the attrocities that happened since 50s against tamils.
Any Person born with Human values will regret what happened and LTTE was parially supported by Tamils as it is their right to support their families from massacred by a filthy breed of evilcrowd that was killing those tamils.
Unfortunately your government still doesnot acknowledge its fault and neither those schums who did that.
Point is Srilanka allied with pak before 71 in case india had lost the war you will be still with them.
So your government support to India is more of being opportunistic and this is well known in Indian quarter.
While you wish to earn respect for srilanka well then For that Srilanka had done nothing neither it is helping India nor does it treated those tamils at par with all the citizens.
But most new gen of india don't even give damn to what happened but future is in your hand.
Srilankan providing base to China could never be seen in a good spirit in India, wargames with pak and you must know that at best you should aspect less negative view about that as any other major military alliance again with pak or china.
But in short i will not blame this on srilankans actually Indian soft power policy could never go good another thing is The entire subcontinent is made up of people with stupid mindsets like sinhalese we love to fight in b/w ourselves and the result was oppression by islamic invaders then western powers ruling this way or other.
India on its side need to put srilankan government on ground and support the reforms for tamils make them economically power at the same time Religious fanatic in srilanka should be taken care of and Prominent Buddhists Hindu monks should be sent their with jain lifestyle in violent parts things will become good. A big economic boom in srilanka will take care of this stupid issue in future.
At the same time those people in srilanka which understand what happened then and know the need to transform should come in politics and with NGos and all try to transform the nation. While inter-ethnic marriages and living should be promoted but mind it not by force but with religious support and back.
Hope together with India and All Buddhist dominant asean srilanka will be a prosperous nation.
