A timely observation. It must be done soon without too many signals which may lead to defensive action by India. It is very unwise to expect Modi to be a better Indian leader than UPA leaders. There is no difference between pro US leaders and pro Indian leaders since both camps converge on their strong anti China and anti neighbours stance. Amidst the clutter of the UNHRC session these more pressing and dangerous issues get sidelined.

However, at the same time the Lankan government must be ready to face possible US-EU sanctions for aligning with China militarily. Although painful in the short run, it is an essential structural adjustment for the economy from pseudo slavery industries of EPZs, garment factories and housemaids to a service, naval, communcations and defence support hub.

Hambantota port will be complete by 2023 and by then there must be a comprehensive economic, defence and political agreement between the two nations for it to achieve its potential.

Transitional leadership is severely lacking in Sri Lanka. Difficult transitions were either abandoned half way, reversed or never initiated apart from the introduction of the open economy and the war victory. Maintaining status quo is not comforting as insumountable challenges are ahead. Doing nothing is not an option.

A great article that explains our actual position is. India is our enemy then and now. Tamils and other Indians who came since 1792 are Indian colonial parasites. There were hardly any Indians before that. So India wants to look after its colonists like it does in Fiji, Mauritius, South Africa, Malaya, Singapore etc. India does not want to loose what it lost in Burma. Burma provided rice to all Indian colonial parasites in the British-Indian Empire. Thank you for your excellent article.
