The correct answer is Option (1) - Liberation Tiger of Tamil Elam The Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) was a militant organization based in Sri Lanka, primarily representing the Tamil minority in the country. India had involvement with the LTTE during the Sri Lankan Civil War, providing support at certain points. 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. |
