N2  - India's decision to intervene militarily in the Sri Lankan civil war was preceded by two significant historical developments: (1) the emergence of a strong Sinhala ethnic identity in Sri Lanka, often accompanied by the explicit marginalization and suppression of the Tamil minority in that country; and (2) an emerging foreign policy of regional hegemony in New Delhi. Together, these two developments have moved inexorably towards a fatal convergence across the Palk Straits. Tragically, there appear to be no easy solutions to such conflicts in the Indian subcontinent: they seem to be the inevitable by‐products of the very effort to imagine and construct nation‐states.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>
