Why did India stumble in Sri Lanka to control Nepal and split Pakistan?

India, the overlord of South Asia, is an ambitious country. It not only controlled small countries like Nepal and Bhutan, but also divided Pakistan. It tried many times to interfere in Sri Lanka's internal affairs, but failed. Britain is Sri Lanka's natural umbrella. Sri Lanka was incorporated into the British colony at the beginning of19th century. By the middle and late period of19th century, Britain basically incorporated the whole South Asia into its British colony, excluding Sri Lanka directly under it, while Pakistan, India and Bangladesh were all British colonies, ranking lower than Sri Lanka. Or Britain has more control over Sri Lanka than other South Asian countries. This is one of the main reasons why India did not get its hands on Sri Lanka.

1947 After India gained independence from Britain, it claimed to be the heir of British India, but this British India did not include Sri Lanka. India once urged Sri Lanka to join the Indian gang, but Sri Lanka resolutely refused. Sri Lanka also knows India's ambition, saying that 1948 resolutely joined the Commonwealth and became a British dominion after winning independence, leaving India with no courage and reason to annex Sri Lanka.

However, India did not stop there, taking advantage of the large number of Tamils in Sri Lanka to support their independence. The famous Tamil Tigers were fostered and strengthened by India. When the Tamil Tigers in Sri Lanka developed to be able to confront the government forces and the whole country fell into civil strife, India openly sent troops to interfere in Sri Lanka's internal affairs in order to achieve the goal of annexing Sri Lanka. However, the Indian government does not think this is a tiger. 1987, the Indian government received an invitation from the Sri Lankan government to send troops to suppress the Tamil rebellion. When the Indian army came, the tiger didn't even recognize his master and refused to lay down his arms and unify the Indian army.

India was deeply mired in Sri Lanka's civil war for three years, dispatched 6.5438+million troops, sacrificed more than 654.38+ 0.000 people, and finally withdrew its troops from Sri Lanka in despair. The last Tamil Tigers were completely pacified by the Sri Lankan government in 2009 and the country was unified.
