SEBI probe concluded that purported loans and fund transfers were paid back in full and did not amount to deceptive market practices or unreported related party transactions.

They have resiled from the solemn assurance of giving greater regional autonomy to the Tamils. 2. One can understand not reopening the wounds of the last phase of the war on the LTTE, which was exceptionally cruel. Hence India’s abstention was the prudent thing to do.

The Easter bombings two years ago are a reminder that there is also a disaffected Muslim minority. The hard edged Buddhist majoritarian impulse of Sri Lanka is seen in Burma as well. For a small, tear drop shaped island which can be a jewel of tourism, that is not a happy situation to be in. 4. The Foreign Office will have its hands full dealing with the Sri Lankan government. If it is fiscally stressed, let them flutter in the breeze. Large checks need not be written out.
