The International Dimensions of the Conflict in Sri Lanka

1 This was based on a view expressed by Anita Pratap in an article titled “Lessons to be learnt from the rout of the LTTE” –The Week 31 May 2009. But since then, others such as Brahma Chelleney have argued that New Delhi was in the dark about Chinese involvement which Sri Lanka had engineered without New Delhi’s knowledge. Anita Pratap’s article acknowledges that New Delhi’s motive in assisting Colombo was also driven by India’s goal to be rid of the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE).
