NCERT (2026-27): “India and its Other Neighbours … The governments of India and Bangladesh have had differences over several issues including the sharing of the Ganga and Brahmaputra river waters.… Ethnic Conflict and Democracy in Sri Lanka … But in 1987, the government of India for the first time got directly involved in the Sri Lankan Tamil question. India signed an accord with Sri Lanka and sent troops to stabilise relations between the Sri Lankan government and the Tamils. Eventually, the Indian Army got into a fight with the LTTE. The presence of Indian troops was also not liked much by the Sri Lankans. They saw this as an attempt by India to interfere in the internal affairs of Sri Lanka. In 1989, the Indian Peace Keeping Force (IPKF) pulled out of Sri Lanka without attaining its objective.…” NCERT (2026-27), chapter ‘Contemporary Centres of Power’: “India’s ‘Look East’ Policy since the early 1990s and ‘Act East’ Policy since 2014 have led to greater economic interaction with the East Asian nations (ASEAN, China, Japan and South Korea).”
