Sri Lanka

India’s relationship with Sri Lanka is complex. Nonetheless, New Delhi could have a role to play in uncovering a difficult past.

Three years after the Tamil Tiger's defeat, the underlying issues that caused Sri Lanka's civil war are once again coming to a head.

Sixty-five years ago, India celebrated independence. While great strides have been made, the potential of its democracy remains unfulfilled.

Much progress has been made since the end of its civil war but ethnic tensions remain.

The end of the civil war brought hopes that the country could become united. But attacks by radical Buddhists suggest Sri Lanka faces a new challenge to internal harmony.

India’s diplomatic reach is being felt further afield these days. Development partnerships are a key tool.

India’s support of a U.N. resolution calling for Sri Lanka to investigate rights violations is a welcome a move.

Beijing must recognize the consequences of its engagement in countries where peace is fragile and act accordingly. But the West also has a mixed record.

The alleged coup in the Maldives has left India in a tricky spot. With China’s rise, the Pacific nation is a key interest.

Sri Lankan Ambassador to the U.S. Jaliya Wickramasuriya talks to The Diplomat about his country’s future.

Relief among the Sinhala community since the Sri Lankan civil war ended is understandable. Triumphalism isn’t.

The Diplomat speaks with Callum Macrae, director of ‘Sri Lanka’s Killing Fields,’ about his documentary film and the controversy surrounding it.
