what were their strained relationship the people sri lanka
Answers
India–Sri Lanka relations are generally positive with only 4% of Sri Lankans stating that they have a negative view of India - the lowest of all the countries surveyed by the Ipsos GlobalScan. The two countries are also close on economic terms with India being the island's largest trading partner and an agreement to establish a proto single market also under discussion at an advanced stage. There are deep racial and cultural links between the two countries, with the Indian cricket team holding widespread support on the island, and Buddhism and Hinduism being core values of both nations too.. India is the only neighbour of Sri Lanka, separated by the Palk Strait; both nations occupy a strategic position in South Asia and have sought to build a common security umbrella in the Indian Ocean. Both India and Sri Lanka are republics within the Commonwealth of Nations.
