Question

What role did India play to help Sri Lanka in resolving the ethnic conflict?

Answer 1

1. India and Sri Lanka signed the Indo–Sri Lanka Accord in 1987, and India sent the Indian Peace Keeping Force (IPKF) to help the Sri Lankan government and the Tamils get along again.
2. Later, however, the Tamils thought the IPKF was interfering in their own affairs, and in 1989, the IPKF left Sri Lanka without fully achieving its goals.
