ABSTRACT: Since Sri Lanka’s civil war ended in 2009, India has actively participated in its post-war reconstruction and reconciliation process and promoted economic integration between the two countries. While so, India has not obtained the expected dividends from its policy towards Sri Lanka. In addition to constraints stemming from its own capacity, from the independent nature of Sri Lankan diplomacy and from factors related to Tamil Nadu State, Sri Lanka’s isolationist regional strategy has fundamentally undermined the effectiveness of India’s policy towards Sri Lanka.
