There should be a stick with carrot to get your work done, even banks would need to use force to get through to certain individuals, a galli ka launda like lanka is ignoring returns for our grants means that we should use force, all the aid that we spent could have been used for military for various stuff but we are just throwing our money if we can't even secure a single port.

If SL allows the ship to dock, we should quit any more assistance.
SL is in NO position to play India vs China now when it is under heavy Chinese debt & it's only India which is helping it manoeuvre the crisis.

No India, No IMF, just beg and grovel to Chinese masters in exchange for half of your country.

Real talk: Sri Lanka and Sri Lankans have no near term future. The country will not come out of this crisis quickly. It will probably take years for a debt resolution/ re financing plan to be implemented fully.
Until then it's a sinkhole. Everyone else has thrown their towel already. It's only India that has committed to SL's future. It's only India that is helping them through IMF.
If SL itself does not want a future for itself, why are we so worried about them? Actions have consequences, if they've made their bed... they should be allowed to lie in it.

What a wonderful way to say thank you. At least take back the fishing island. Make it clear to the SL thieving politicians that all aid will be cut after they allow this spy ship. Let them decide.
This is why I said India should annex the country as a new state. I was laughed at. The debt crisis makes them easily exposed to foreign powers who want to destabilize the region and spy on India.

Let this Sri Lanka situation be a lesson to Indians. Things given free has no value. If you want to help someone, do it but make sure they have to work hard to get it. Secure your interests first then give money. Giving free charity with no strings attached and expecting them to value us on moral grounds is nothing but a fool's dream.

Blocked or just diplomatic jumla?
they asked to defer the plan apparently, same story came in HT just now, as the port is leased, SL can not do much, they painted India as ' friend' and asked Chinese to defer the visit untill next joint statement...
SL now knows it very well that they are living on Indian Alma , and the Chinese are trying to put their dominance thus that can hamper the incoming aids,.. so better judgement to save face for now!!

Well, SL can. If they want. It's just an alibi that they can't do much.

Yes let them rot we must take over north srilanka as sinhalese have no money or clout and need to press human rights bogey over their army and navy once it is done we can take over their eez area and connect to india .We can even make multiple bases on those island making them static air craft carriers and can threaten lanka when they allow docking of chinese or pakistani military ships.

This is the worst outcome for India. We need to annex the state, only solution.
