We have a report of another fatal encounter between fishermen and fisheries enforcement personnel. In this case, it is Indian Fishermen and the Sri Lankan Navy, with shots fired at three fishermen and one killed. There are calls for the Indian government to protect the fishermen from the Sri Lankan Navy. The initial reaction from Sri Lanka is that its Navy was not in the area, is under strict instruction not to use deadly force, and they will investigate. At least this time, it is not a question of who has jurisdiction over the waters.

India’s inability, over past sixty four years, to settle any dispute with its any neighbour reflects the mind set of its leadership. it is the main root cause of instability in the region. Now they have developed conflicts with Sri Lanka also, the only neighbour without border conflict. When will leadership of this abject poverty ridden nation realise the misiries of its civil society. In India 350 million people donot have access to Toilets, they go behind the bush. a near animal life.
