What nation is above Sri Lanka?

Answer 1

India- Sri Lanka has been the scene of bitter civil warfare between the Sinhalese and the Tamils, the latter of whom want a separate Tamil state within the country and who had a terrorist guerrilla army called the Tamil Tigers. India supported the Sri Lankan Government, made up mostly of Sinhalese, in it's fight against the Tamils. The Tamil Tigers carried out a series of bombings and mass shootings throughout the 1980s and '90s, both within Sri Lanka itself and on the Indian mainland- targets included airports, railway stations, airliner bombings, and shopping centres. Indian Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi sent the Indian Army into Sri Lanka in 1987 to assist the Tamil Government in crushing the Tigers- as a result, he was himself killed by a female Tamil suicide bomber in 1991 during his re-election campaign. The Tamil Tigers were finally crushed by a massive joint operation between the Sri Lankan Government and it's Indian ally in May 2009.
