PM Modi recently spoke about a tiny uninhabited island that lies between India and Sri Lanka and accused the Gandhis of “giving it away.” What is this island? Why does it matter? And what is its history? Faye D’Souza explains.

Indian fishermen have overfished around Indian maritime boundaries and hence venture into the Sri Lankan waters and get harassed/arrested, claiming ownership of Katchatheevu will increase indias maritime border towards Sri Lanka so that Indian/especially Tamil Nadu fishermen can fish around it. This is done to get votes of fishermen families

@ruwanfonseka Ай бұрын

Sri Lankan fishermen from Jaffna, Mullaitivu, and Mannar (who are from the Sri Lankan Tamil Community who speak the Tamil language) districts are agitated by the alleged recurring illegal fishing by their counterparts from India (who are mainly from Tamil Nadu who speak the Tamil language). If Indian fisherman want to fish beyond the India International border, there is no need to cross over to Sri Lanka's territory (country's territory), instead there is plenty of International waters that is south of India that they can fish with no issues maintaining peace with Sri Lanka. Why does India has to disrupt peace with all it's neighbouring countries, and now the latest is with Sri Lanka at a time Sri Lankan-Indian diplomacy has improved. According to a recent news article as of 2024 India still remains unresponsive to the request by Sri Lanka to allow an innocent passage through the Indian Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ) for its fishermen to enter the Arabian Sea. Sri Lanka had made this request when President Ranil Wickremesinghe visited India in 2023. The Indian route will help Lankan fishermen cut down the total distance by 400 nautical miles. Currently, they have to take a longer route via Negombo, Dikovita, Beruwala and Matara (areas in Sri Lanka) around the Maldives. Currently, Sri Lankan fishermen get detained by the Indian Coast Guard when they unlawfully enter Indian waters on their way to the Arabian Sea for fishing activities.

There is strict anti poaching laws in Indian waters. Meanwhile it's a lucrative business of poaching sea cucumbers in Sri Lanka and shipping it by smugglers to Chinese market.

@@vksivaprakash What are you trying to imply as "repeat of Prabha"? Can you elaborate and explain, on what you are trying to state? It is the innocent Sri Lankan fishermen from Jaffna, Mullaitivu, and Mannar (who are from the Sri Lankan Tamil Ethnic Community who speak the Tamil language) that are suffering. Possibly you are totally unaware and ignorant of the actual situation and plight of the fishermen from Jaffna, Mullaitivu, and Mannar (who are from the Sri Lankan Tamil Ethnic Community who speak the Tamil language) who are suffering due to the Indian fisherman issue in the Sri Lankan territorial waters. As the Sri Lanka's Minister of Fisheries Douglas Devananda has said during a recent televised interview (also published in news print media in March 2024) that Sixty-nine Sri Lankan fishing boats are in Indian custody, Minister of Fisheries Douglas Devananda is also from the Sri Lankan Tamil Ethnic Community and fluently speaks in Tamil very well and speaks for all Sri Lankan fisherman who are affected due to the illegal fishing done by the Indian Fisherman who enter the Sri Lankan territorial waters and catch fish illegally. In a recent article including one that has appeared in the Sri Lankan island lk news paper it mentions as extracted from that article published in the Island lk newspaper on 2024/03/11 - "Minister of Fisheries Douglas Devananda has said during a recent televised interview, Hundreds of Indian boats arrive in Sri Lankan waters and use destructive bottom trawling techniques in the territorial waters of Sri Lanka, the Minister said.""They have destroyed all marine resources in the Indian territorial waters using these disastrous techniques and they are doing the same in our waters. This has been happening for a long time and things have gradually become worse. That is why our fishermen are protesting.” "Devananda said that during the war, Sri Lankan fishermen had not been able to fish in certain parts of the country’s territorial waters. During our absence, Indian fishermen started poaching in our waters, he said." "“Now, our fishermen are back but the Indians are not stopping. They are extracting our resources. The war ended 15 years ago, and we have still not been able to solve this. This is partially our fault. We have not taken up this issue forcefully. We must tackle this issue legally and diplomatically,” he said. Sri Lanka has banned bottom trawling in 2017/18 and the Fisheries (Regulation of Foreign Fishing Boats) Act of 2018, Sri Lanka has a number of tools it can use to tackle poaching by Indian fishermen." "“We now arrest and jail owners and skippers of Indian boats. There are five Indian skippers in Sri Lankan jails now. The Tamil Nadu Minister of Fisheries spoke to me on the phone recently and asked me to come there for discussions to solve the fishermen’s issues. I said I will come if you stop your fishermen coming this way. He agreed." "I also spoke to Tamil Nadu Chief Minister, Stalin and he also agreed to stop Indian fishermen coming this way. This is election time in Tamil Nadu. Once the elections are over, we can start negotiations,” he said. Devananda said he spoke to President Ranil Wickremesinghe almost on a daily basis and urged the latter to deploy the Navy to chase away Indian fishermen. The President had also given instructions to the Navy, but the scale of our response is inadequate, he said." "Tamil MPs visited India often and they met the Indian High Commissioner and his deputies here, Devananda said, adding that they hardly talked about the issues faced by Sri Lankan fishermen with Indian officials, he said.”Earlier, Tamil Nadu asked me to allow Indian fishermen to use Sri Lankan waters for two years. I said that could not be done." "The Indians arrive in hundreds of boats and they can cause irreparable damage in a single day. The 1974 and 1976 agreements, taken together with the Exchange of Letters, were signed between Kewal Singh, the then Foreign Secretary to the Government of India, and W.T. Jayasinghe, then Secretary to the Ministry of Defence and Foreign Affairs of Sri Lanka, has put the question of fishing rights beyond doubt." "Paragraph 1 of the Exchange of Letters very clearly rules out any fishing rights for the fishermen of the two States in the waters of the other State which reads as follows; “fishing vessels and fishermen of India shall not engage in fishing in the historic waters, the territorial sea and the EEZ of Sri Lanka, nor shall the fishing vessels and fishermen of Sri Lanka engage in fishing in the historic waters, the territorial sea and the EEZ of India, without the express permission of Sri Lanka or India, as the case may be.” "While Indians lost access to Sri Lankan waters, local fishermen lost access to Pedro Bank, and Wadge Bank, the continental shelves off Cape Comorin at the southern tip of India, which had been profitable commercial fishing grounds since the 1920s for both Indian and Sri Lankan boats.".

Some true facts about Katchai Thivu /Island. After the start of the war in 1983 in Sri Lanka, fish exports by South Indian fishermen have increased by 51%. Sri Lankan Tamil fishermen were unable to go into the sea . So Tamil Nadu fishermen caught these fishes . Tamil Nadu fishermen export 2 million pounds worth fishes per a day after 1983 war in Sri Lanka. Recently, India gave a loan of 4 billion dollars to Sri Lanka government. This loan carries interest. And from this money Sri Lanka can buy goods only from India. Narrow netting has been banned in Sri Lanka as it destroys fish stocks ( bottom drawlers ) Many years back TN fishermen caught all the fishes using narrow nets and destroyed all fish resources around Katchchai Thivu. Now Sri Lankan fishermen do not go to Kachai Thivu Island because there are no fish around Katchai Thivu Island ) . Then why Tamil Nadu fishermen want to take back Kachai Thivu / island? If Kachai Thivu Island is taken, TN fishermen can easily enter into Sri Lankan sea and harvest the entire fish resources. Regds Sarasalai Siva.

The land given away in West Bengal have much more strategic importance for defense both in land and maritime, logistics to reach North East, preventing illegal immigration. Even the aggression towards the fisherfolk now is the result of current government's failure in diplomacy. Recentment to Indians now is not the result of a government 60 years ago, but the government spewing venom and being obnoxious at every moment. So much for trolling Trudeau for damaging international diplomatic relations for local vote nank, when Modi is doing the exact same.

@@Lifegoeson166 Sri Lanka does not have to, because India is not the only trade partner which Sri Lanka relies on. Sri Lanka knows what happened to Ukraine. So Sri Lanka keeps many other best friends like China. If India eagerly wants China to abuse India from a southern front in addition to the nothern front already being abused from, India could sparkle new issues about kachchathivu. But in the end, still India will never inherit Kachchathivu, but much more severe national security threats and more diplomatic issues

BJP's desperate effort to get a foothold in Tamilnadu. Modi is ever trying to find fault with his predecessors, however he himself has not done a good job in foreign affairs. See what UN commenting on the situation in India. It's not possible to satisfy everyone in every decision made at every moment. We can always find fault with each decision made in the past.

Madam, Already india has meddled with maldives and now china is at our doors. India meddled with Sri Lanka and china came there at humbuntota. Jawahar lal & Smt Indira Gandhi were not pig headed like the present leaders. Already over confidence and empty arrogance has cost india dearly in Aruna chal pradesh and dhoklam. Already US and Europe and other countries are avoiding serious diplomatic engagements with india. Present foreign minister is a pale comparison to late smt Sushma Swaraj.

As singhalese and buddhsits of Sri Lanka we owe a lot to India our history book Mahawamsa which was written in fifth century AD says singhalese came to Sri lanka around 5th century BC from Vanga desh which is the ancient name of Bengal .We got Buddhism archtecture the language also from india singha language is a derivative of ancient language of magadha modernday bihar as such our fatherland is India.we may have ecinomic ties with China and Pakisthan but In crtical security issues Sri lanka has to stand together with India.

Maha Barath is a fictional story. There was never an India, only British created India, India is an artificially created country, naturally there were about 40 different countries in that land and British when they left amalgamated all countries into one and called it India. Naturally I doubt it will hold, like Soviet Union, India will devolve into 40 different countries before 2050. Only once in history there was an empire in that land mass, that was under king Ashoka, but modern day Indians vehemently against the great man, King Ashoka, my guess is WW2 created artificial India and WW3 will correct that mistake
