While claiming that the international community must rise above narrow national agenda, India said that, for its part, is taking exceptional measures at exceptional times to help its neighbourhood including Sri Lanka.

“We extend credits of US$ 3.8 billion to Sri Lanka for fuel, essential commodities and trade settlement,” External Affairs Minister, Dr. S. Jaishankar told the UNGA at its 77th Session.

While the global attention has been on Ukraine, India has also had to contend with other challenges, especially in its own neighbourhood, he said.

He also said, “Some of them may be aggravated by the Covid pandemic and ongoing conflicts; but they speak too of a deeper malaise. The accumulation of debt in fragile economies is of particular concern.” We do so, when we sent 50,000 metric tons of wheat and multiple tranches of medicines and vaccines to Afghanistan. When we extend credits of US$3.8 billion to Sri Lanka for fuel, essential commodities and trade settlement. When we supplied 10,000 metric tons of food aid and vaccines to Myanmar. When we fill the gap in humanitarian needs left unaddressed by political complexity. Whether it is disaster, response or humanitarian assistance, India has stood strong, contributing particularly to those nearest to us, he further added.

Thank you India. Even though your forces misunderstood the Tamil speaking people and killed them. The fault was entirely on late Ghandi. He just escaped death from a Sinhala soldier in Sri Lanka.By a hair breadth his skull escaped being shattered.

What an international shame for the SLAF where a visiting Head of State is attacked by no other than Guard of Honor. Where is the discipline? Further this army thug is highly celebrated for his deed by Sinhalese. Can someone tell me whether Sinhalese have any values in there life? Is that the reason why they elect criminals, thugs, murderer's, rapists and corrupt persons as their leaders? Isn't that also the reason this country is what it is today? Grow up backward thinking skunk.

Whatever gloss you put on Indian intentions nobody would ever trust India. Your Indian history is ghastly. In this month the British Queen died, there has been global discussions about the atrocities committed during the British empire. All agree that if not for the millions of Indian men in British Uniforms, a small Britain could never have been able to rule over 20 countries in Asia and Africa for over 150 years. Your Indian men were the ruthless killers that Britain successfully used to control and suppress all rebellions against the British empire. After the independence in 1947 these INDIAN KILLERS became the INDIAN ARMY.

We don’t need the Indian credit lines, we have America , Europe , and China to help us. Only the gullible fools would think that the Indians are an honourable and peaceful people.

We Helped The Ungrateful Indians During The Covid Sunday, 25 September 2022 04:36 PM

During the COVID pandemic , Indians were dying in the streets with no oxygen mask in hospitals. Remember the CNN television pictures of Indian crematoriums burning continuously and even car parks in Mumbai being converted to burn bodies. The whole world helped India, including urgent oxygen tanks sent from Sri Lanka free of charge . But the Indians have quickly forgotten this episode !!!

In the next India- China war , We would gladly support China Sunday, 25 September 2022 07:03 PM

“ India exceptional in helping neighbourhood “. Yes, we know how helpful it has been. Indian Spy Agencies Training LTTE terrorists in the 70s, Indian Army Massacring Tamils in the 80s, Financing the JVP uprising against President Premadasa for his public demand that Indian Army must be withdrawn from Jaffna in the 90s, and For the last twenty years having secret relationships with fanatical Buddhist Clergy and the Muslim terrorists culminating to the Easter Bomb Attacks.

India's Double Game Monday, 26 September 2022 12:14 AM

India’s ‘Double Game’. Russia Blasts New Delhi Over Ukrainian Coverage. eurasiantimes.com The Afghan fiasco and India’s double game. tribune.com.pk. - India has been lobbying influence in Washington DC to push for the continuation of “America’s forever war" in Afghanistan. In April 2020 Canadian Security and Intelligence Service busted a foreign intelligence operation by two Indian intelligence agencies the Research and Analysis Wing (RAW) and Intelligence Bureau (IB) covertly working in Canada since 2009 using money and disinformation to “covertly influence” Canadian politicians, to sway politicians in Canada into supporting Indian government interests instead of Canadian interests. In 2020, German security agencies busted covert operations and the German courts passed sentences against individuals in Germany for working as agents for the Indian intelligence services.

But one of the most shocking cases of Indian malign influence upon global policy making regarding the region has been uncovered by the Brussels based EU Disinfo Labs in two consecutive annual reports in 2019 and 2020.

India Palying Double Game Monday, 26 September 2022 12:37 AM

India is playing the double game smartly. India wanted to prove that China is aggressive and increasing its influence in the region to victimize India. It is India, who is the aggressor and cause of instability and epic center of all evils in the whole region. Indian philosophy of “Greater India,” which includes all states in the region of Arabian Pennisula to Australia, including Indonesia, Malaysia, and New Zealand. India is progressing its agenda silently and occupying its neighboring states. India has illegally annexed: Travancore, Jodhpur, Bhopal, Hyderabad, Junagadh, Jammu and Kashmir, Ladakh, Naga Land, Sikkim, Juna Garh, etc. India is illegally occupying Nepali territories, West Bengal from Bangladesh, some areas of Myanmar, Pakistan, and China. India has almost colonized Bhutan, a land lock small country in the Himalayan region. Nepal was coerced and penalized in the form of sanctions and cut-off supplies of basic necessities food, fuel, medicine, electricity etc.

India Playing Double Game, you are absolutely right. Indian intelligence consisting of RAW, IB, and Indian Army Intelligence are actively involved in many countries including Sri Lanka. One of the agents working for the Indians for many years is the Sri Lankan Tamil Christian D B S JEYARAJ currently living in Canada. Look at the Daily Mirror comment sections bombarded by pro Indian propaganda and hostility against Sri Lanka and China, using fake names.

No to UNHRC Monday, 26 September 2022 06:27 PM

India spoke against us at UN, during UNHCR matters. When India has human rights problems we keep quiet supporting them diplomatically. I even saw photo of their top envoy based here meeting the Prime Minister. India is all about money and pushing their influence in more. They're 13th Amendment is too much already. Sooner we can do without Indian assistance the better as it will have strings attached.

Martial race Tuesday, 27 September 2022 01:37 AM

Sooner, Our World learns and get out of the clutches of this heinous Indian influence the better for All. Con used by the british. Use of brute Sikhs,Jats,Marati, Rajput etc. Martial race was a designation which was created by army officials in British India after the Indian Rebellion of 1857, in which they classified each CASTE as belonging to One of Two categories. The 'martial' caste and the 'non-martial' caste. The reason for this system of classification was the belief that a 'martial race' was typically brave and well-built for fighting, while the 'non-martial races' were those races which the British considered unfit for battle because of their sedentary lifestyles. However, the martial races were also considered politically subservient, intellectually inferior, lacking the initiative or leadership qualities to command large military formations. The British had a policy of recruiting the martial Indians from those who has less access to education as they were easier to control.

East India Company Tuesday, 27 September 2022 02:16 AM

The horrendous atrocities of the british empire aka "The East India Company" using Indians. How many Indian soldiers fought for Britain in WW2? 2.5 million men. Indian soldiers played a key role in British campaigns in Europe during WW1 but the Middle East was the most important theatre of war for India. A quote from the war. "What are you going to gain from this war? Why are we cutting each other’s throats? You live in Hindustan, we live in Turkey, neither of us have ever met, we have no quarrel with each other, and yet at the behest of a couple of men we’ve become enemies overnight.” The East India Company and other British merchants began to smuggle Indian opium into China illegally. For the victors, the Opium War paved the way for the opening up of the Chinese market.

Food first religious place last Tuesday, 27 September 2022 10:05 AM

@BuffaloaCitizen What you say is without merit. What matter if a man had gone mad and attacked the India leader. Men and women kill themselves for their issues, which is worse. Your going on and on about Sinhala people makes me think you hate Sinhala, Tamil, Muslim and Christian people in this country. The persons of other race and religion just as gullible to elect wrongdoers here.
