Overview

The Sri Lankan Civil War has been raging on-and-off since July 1983. The conflict exists predominantly between the government and the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE), an armed separatist organization fighting for the creation of an independent state in the North and East of the island, to be named Tamil Eelam.

India has had a number of changing stances towards the conflict, with vigorous support of the independence movement coming from the country's South Eastern State of Tamil Nadu, which has a Tamil majority population.
