I have never been posted to Sri Lanka, though I had asked a couple of times whether I could serve there, initially to be nearer home and subsequently on account of some fascination for a challenging assignment. But the race relations there were such that I could not be posted there because of my Tamil sounding name. Malayalees like Ambassador Thomas Abraham, Ambassador Ranjan Mathai and Ambassador Nirupama Rao were welcome there, but not a Malayalee with a Tamil name, or so thought the Ministry of External Affairs. (MEA) “How can we inform all the Tamil Tigers that you are not a Tamil?” I was asked. I worked as the Special Assistant to a Foreign Secretary who believed that no South Indian should deal with Sri Lanka and no North Indian should deal with Pakistan! Now I live.....

Neighbours are like brothers. You cannot choose them and they cannot be wished away. It is for this reason that Dr Henry Kissinger justified our nuclear tests in 1998 on the ground that India is in a tough neighbourhood. Whether we demanded reciprocity or gave concessions on the basis of the Gujral Doctrine, our neighbours are generally dissatisfied with India. But an exception to this rule is the Prime Minister of Bangladesh, Sheikh Hasina as I discovered this week when I had the opportunity to be with her for nearly two hours in Dhaka. She is genuinely indebted to India for what India has done right from the “glorious war” for independence to this day and speaks openly about India’s role and importance in South Asia and the world. She spea.....
