This is from Statesman:

NEW DELHI, Jan. 9: A Sri Lankan scholar’s outburst against India at an international conference here today caused a stir. Mr Susantha Goonatilake, president of the Royal Asiatic Society of Sri Lanka, told the inaugural session of the three-day International Conference on Indian History, Civilisation and Geopolitics, 2009, that one of the reasons why the country had to deal with the LTTE problem for a long time was because “India had subverted Sri Lanka”. He added, “since I have been a friend of India, I say this with a feeling of hurt”.
