Lankans never liked Indians, especially since the tiff between Rama and Ravana resulted in Lanka going up in flames - they carry the burden of this humilaition even to this day. That's why they hate Indians, and that's why, thier protestations notwithstanding, they are in cahoots with nations bent on India's detruction - China, Pakistanespecially. It's no coincidence that the ISI is directly 'helping' Lanka with thier 'anti- insurgency' operations. It's time the myopic, butt-licking, spineless jackasses on Rasina Hill understood that India has no friends, and especially, Lanka is no friend of India, worse ingrates than even Bangladesh. They they just make the right noises for public consumption and to assuage thier 'friends' in Delhi, but won't rule out blackmail as part of their 'diplomatic' arsenal.

I don't mean offend you on your historical beliefs. But the truth of the matter is rama/ravana stories are treated as mythology and not even taught in schools. It takes some hard and analytical evidence to convince sinhalese to believe any thing. Just like Buddha said, don't believe anything simply because someone told u so, or simply becuase it was in a book, or simply beacuse ur parents or tacher told u, but if it only makes sense. I don't think sri lankans don't like Indians or pakistanis. If they do it's becuase both these COUNTRIES HAVE PATHETIC CRICKET TEAMS....

No, sinhalese have strong hatred towards indian been a de-identified community. Wheres they try to make up with buddish-sinhala borrowed combination for their identity.
