India should have had a very good foreign policy with Lanka right from the 1980's.Its a fact that tamilians existed in Srilanka for centuries and when they found being discriminated on language and race they decided to fight. The path chosen could have been wrong.But given the situation, the gandhi method will not work in today's world.India could have done some backdoor work and settled issues with both lanka and LTTE.but india sent IPKF and got screwed. We lost many soldiers fighting for this stupid self centered sinhala asses.Now Manmohan is doing the same thing.Ltte approach is wrong but do they have a choice?.Every country has its own separatist groups.

Yes. Singhala GOVT really foxed Rajeev Gandhi into sending the IPKF forces. Rajeev being guided by stupid arrogant raw yuppies fell for it.
