1974 India-Sri Lanka Maritime Boundary Agreement: S Jaishankar Unveiling the Facts

Jaishankar said there have been claims and counterclaims between India and Sri Lanka over the Katchatheevu island. He highlighted India’s claim that Katchatheevu island belonged to Raja of Ramnad, who had received it from the East India Company. As it was part of the Raja’s zamindari rights, it eventually moved to the then Madras government.

Nehru gifted in 1974 . Modi lost in 2020.
Modi invested a lot in his relationship with China. After becoming Prime Minister, Modi met Xi 17 times and created an impression domestically that he would be able to resolve all issues with China with the sheer force of his personality. He has failed, but a largely subservient media has not held him accountable. The loss of control over territory to China seems to be acceptable to this government as long as the country is kept in the dark about it. Instead of defending the territory, the government is defending the narrative. It has made its choice. India will pay the price.

The Crux
The Army has placed check-posts in border areas and restricted the free movement of civilian officials.
The reason given is that the China’s People’s Liberation Army (PLA) had installed powerful cameras atop the pass and “they would immediately raise objections on the movement from the Indian side if not informed beforehand”.
It points to a timidity of approach and a play-safe attitude on display by the Army that has further emboldened an assertive PLA.
Disengagement is like a temporary salve for a malaise, but not a lasting remedy.
After boastfully signalling in 2020 that it wants to target Chinese companies, the Modi government is now courting them to come and ‘Make in India’.
The defensive approach, with no retaliatory measures, has emboldened China to continue to assert itself.
