520			_aThough seemingly near, India and Sri Lanka feel distant. India is Sri Lanka's closest neighbour – geographically, separated by a narrow strait called the Palk Strait. This proximity has allowed both the countries to be historically and culturally close. For over two millennia both the nations have witnessed various levels of relationship – from religious propagation, commercial and cultural exchanges to occasional war. Since the mid 20th century, bilateral relations between the two nations have been cordial. However, the relationship strained due to the Sri Lankan civil war (between the ethnic Sinhalese and Tamils) and India's lacklustre intervention and lack of strategic foresight. Later, the strain stretched over fishing issues. Now the controversy over Katchathivu has been stoked again. This article studies the dynamics of the relationship between the two South Asian states.- Reproduced https://www.sajospsglobal.com/current.html
