India will lose if it takes on Sri Lanka

A Sri Lankan columnist on Sunday warned that India would be the loser if it imposed economic sanctions against Colombo in the wake of calls from politicians in Tamil Nadu.

"India will be the net loser if the central government follows with economic sanctions against Sri Lanka," Bandula Sirimanna wrorte in the Sunday Times.

The warning followed a resolution the Tamil Nadu assembly passed, seeking imposition of economic sanctions for alleged war crimes, the trade ministry officials were quoted as saying.

"Sri Lanka trades directly with India (not with southern India), and only a few local companies have trade links with Tamil Nadu businessmen, a senior official said.

"Sri Lanka's net gain in trading is less than that of India, while her net losses are far higher than that of India," he added.

Many leading Tamil Nadu politicians were either supporters of or sympatbhetic to the LTTE, who were crushed in May 2009 by the Sri Lankan military.

Who is India to impose sanctions against Srilanka.

With the blessings from uncle sam india already considers itself a permanent member of the security council and therefore, behaves in the befitting manner.

India should impose a naval blockade if SL doesn't mend its ways.

Being neighbors we need each other and being small SL needs us more, being arrogant will not help.

India should impose a naval blockade if SL doesn't mend its ways.

That would be an act of war.
