Why Was Katchatheevu Island Given To Sri Lanka By Indira Gandhi Govt & China Link To Current Issue

Katchatheevu is a 285-acre island in the Palk Strait, between India and Sri Lanka. Central govt...no matter under which party has never changed their stance on the fact that Katchatheevu remains part of Sri Lanka. Now that the prime minister has mentioned it in his speech, one will naturally wonder if India will be raising a dispute with Sri Lanka in this regard or not. While state govts may be guided by the interests of their won people, central govts have to balance diplomacy and good international relations in such cases. As Sri Lanka slips away from India's circle of friendship and becomes closer to China, is India looking at Sri lanka as a lost cause? and is that why the Prime Minister is tomtoming the island and its disputed legacy to target the opposition without a concern for its impact on the relations with Sri Lanka?
