| Summary/Abstract |
A peaceful and prosperous Sri Lanka would always be in India’s strategic interest. Sri Lanka is significant for India as it is the latter’s closest maritime neighbor. Last but not the least India adopts a pro active policy towards Sri Lanka, in order to not only save the people but also for its own security reasons. India’s own growing economic interests in Sri Lanka have also tempered its political activism. In times of crisis, whether political, military, or international, Sri Lanka has generally taken India into confidence for consultation and advice.
