The fishermen know that these attacks are by the Sri Lankan navy whose hatred for Tamils spills into Indian Tamils and Hindus in general. In early 1900, all Malayalees living in Colombo was expelled. In the riots of 1983, all Hindus were targetted. There were lots of north Indian ladies who would start wearing western or Sinhalese cloths not to be identified as Hindus in 1983. This was in Colombo.
India needs to either take over Lanka or take over the Tamil portion of Lanka as that is historically been part of India through the Chola empire. It was the British who joined it with the Sinhalese portion ot make it easier on administration. India being a power sits and does nothing, while Indian fishermen get killed by a foreign Navy!!!!
India shouldn't be for joint patrol that leads to the anhilation of the Tamil minority in SL but for annexing NE SL to India.
