(Source: REUTERS) India’s Prime Minister Narendra Modi gestures as he arrives for the United Nations Vesak Day celebrations in Katunayake, Sri Lanka May 11, 2017. Eight years ago, almost exactly to the week, Sri Lanka was engaged in a brutal endgame against the LTTE. Sri Lanka’s Tamil question and the Kashmir issue are not similar, many will say. Say what anyone will about the differences, Sri Lanka, from the 1950s through to the first decade of the 21st century, sounds eerily like Kashmir.
