Kalyan Ji,
While doing some unrelated search, I had accidentally hit upon a US Navy operational directive, which says this:
<!--QuoteBegin-->QUOTE<!--QuoteEBegin-->India's Claims
ARCHIPELAGIC, STRAIGHT BASELINES, & HISTORIC CLAIMS
Aug 76 Act No. 80Â Enables government to declare waters as historic.
Jun 79 Law No. 41
Waters of Palk Bay between coast and boundary with Sri Lanka claimed as internal waters; waters of Gulf of Mannar between coast and maritime boundary claimed as historic waters.
This claim is not recognized by the United States. U.S. conducted operational assertions in 1993 and 1994, to Gulf of Mannar claim in 1999.
