There were many problems between Tamils and sri Lanka:

1. Communal tensions between the Sinhalese and Tamil communities had been brewing since the early 1940s and intensified with the wave of Sinhalese nationalism and massive anti-Tamil riots in the latter half of the 1950s.

2. The Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) was formed in 1976 as the self-styled "national freedom movement of the people of Tamil Eelam" and began a guerilla war on the government and administration. The war with LTTE officially started after the killing of 13 soldiers in 1983.

3. In 1987, Indian Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi and Sri Lankan President Jayewardene signed the Indo-Sri Lanka Peace Accord and Indian soldiers were dispatched to Sri Lanka as part of the Indian Peace Keeping Force (IPKF).

4. Though many of the insurgents did agree to intermittent truce under the IPK, matters deteriorated soon and fighting erupted once again once the IPKF left in 1990. The LTTE was also implicated in the assassination of Rajiv Gandhi in 1991, allegedly in revenge of his aid to Sri Lanka.

5. The island state remained in a state of unrest throughout the 1995 to 2001 with brief intermittent spells of peace. Severe bombing and attacks in the northern and eastern parts of the country continued.
