Although in recent years, the relationship between India and Sri Lanka has been marked by frequent and close contact at the highest political level, growing trade and investment, cooperation in the fields of education, culture, and defence, as well as a broad understanding on the major issues of international interest, but Sri Lanka’s relations with China are better because its use of String of Pearls strategy in Sri Lanka is frequent.

| Summary/Abstract |

However, the discriminative policy followed by the Sinhalese majority towards Tamil ethnic minorities disturbed the long sharing cultural relations of two countries. In the final stage of civil war, many Tamil minorities severely affected which made them more vulnerable.

| Summary/Abstract |
World is divided into unequal States in terms of size, resources and level of development which create complexities in their relationship. Though all the States have sovereignty to exercise equal rights, their positioning makes them unequal. It has strong bearing on inter-state relations and determines the foreign policy making exercise in each State. Foreign Policy, therefore, derives from Country’s efforts to best represent its national interest in the World.

| Summary/Abstract |
The paper discusses the geostrategic value of Sri Lanka in the Indian Ocean and how India and Japan have been making efforts to develop stronger relations with Sri Lanka in order to tackle China’s overbearing influence through its various infrastructural projects in Sri Lanka; which directly and indirectly gives China an open access to the sea lanes and routes of the Indian Ocean but also acts as a roadblock for India and Japan’s overall effort towards their Indo-Pacific vision.

The concept of international relations occupies a very significant place in the present day world. No nation is confined only within its territorial jurisdiction. It is neither possible nor desirable. It has become a necessity that all nations have to spread its wings across the national boundaries.

| Summary/Abstract |
Sri Lanka is at the heart of Indian Ocean region, and has occupied geo-strategic location which is viewed as extremely significant. It is a small island situated at the main sea lines of communication between the Bay of Bengal and the Arabian Sea and between the South China Sea and the Indian Ocean. Lately, the Indian Ocean as a whole and Sri Lanka in particular has become a terrain for strategic competition between major powers, including China’s Belt and Road Initiative and the Free and Open Indo-Pacific concept initiated by the Quad states (USA, India, Japan, and Australia).

| Summary/Abstract |
In view of China’s growing influence with financial and military assistance to developing countries in its periphery including Sri Lanka, India should be cautious about internal policies that affect friendly relationship with our neighbours. .In a highly inter connected and interdependent world no one country howsoever powerful, can hold sway over others. But managing China’s expanding influence needs drastic changes in foreign relationship with considerable diplomatic agility.

| Summary/Abstract |
Sri Lanka has begun a new political chapter in 2020 with the election of Gotabaya Rajapaksa, who served as defence secretary for nearly a decade under his brother, President Mahinda Rajapaksa from 2005 to 2015. His electoral victory was not unexpected as most of the Sri Lankans hail him and his brother as national heroes for eliminating three-decade long Tamil separatist insurgency by the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE).

Big nations are never liked by their smaller neighbours. And if there are two larger neigbours in a region, the competition for influence is bound to emerge between them sooner or later, because of their overlapping interests. Largely this sums up India’s policy dilemmas in South Asia. India’s South Asian neighbours suspect India’s most benign policy moves and appear keen to play China card to balance India. On the hand, China’s overwhelming presence is new fact of South Asia.

| Summary/Abstract |
India and China have been competing in Sri Lanka for expansion of their strategic space and enhance their economic engagement since number of years. Both have made inroads into the political elites of Sri Lanka in accordance with their aspirations and national interests. India and China each have one of the political parties as their favourable inside Sri Lanka and they feel comfortable to bag as many economic projects as possible if that political party is in power.

| Summary/Abstract |
The recent election in Sri Lanka, witnessed Gotabaya Rajapaksa elected President, a laudable development with a lot of implications for the island and South Asia in particular. India as South Asia’s largest country cognises the overwhelming changes taking place. The geographical and historical symbiosis between the two countries necessitates a bilateral relationship where the two countries cannot be seen as following a different weltanschauung.

| Summary/Abstract |
The lexicon of world politics has undergone a transformation after the end of cold war with the disintegration of the erstwhile Soviet Union 1991. The binary approach that ‘either you are with us or against us’ has lost much of its traction in recent times. Now there is an increasing trend towards what is called multiple engagement and it is in this framework that Sri Lanka is balancing its external engagement with two of its powerful neighbours- China and India.

| Summary/Abstract |
Given its strategic setting in the Indian Ocean region, the nation of Sri Lanka has become very crucial to global and regional powers such as India and China. The external relations of Sri Lanka were based on a neoliberal discourse. Compared to Sri Lanka, the external relations of India were majorly based on realist theoretical perspective. Thus, given the regional influence of India and the close the historical ties and geographical proximity shared by India and Sri Lanka, the foreign policy of India heavily influences the Indo-Sri Lankan relations.

| Summary/Abstract |
It is now commonplace to view India-Sri Lanka bilateral ties through the lens of New Delhi’s great power game with Beijing. The debate is being increasingly framed in terms of Sri Lanka being the platform for India-China strategic competition or the ”battleground” for India-China rivalry. Such an eventuality is inevitable given the aggressive rise of a revanchist China that seeks to bend the political, economic and security framework of Asia in accord with its geopolitical will. It leaves little space for a sluggish India to maintain its traditional spheres of influence.
