India's relations with Neighbouring countries were not good in the past. Pandit Jawaharlal tried to establish friendly ties with China which came to an end after the 1962 Indo-Chinese war. India helped Bangladesh in its liberation struggle and started the relationship on a high note. Once Sheikh Mujibur Rehman was dead this relationship soured. Though his daughter is with India, the majority people in Bangladesh are India haters only. Pakistan was created in hatred and distrust and it continues to be a sworn enemy country. Sri Lanka needed India to fight and finish off LTTE. Their mission complete Sri Lanka will be waiting for its time to ditch India. That land of the Rakshas (Ravvan &Co) is still a land of rakshas only. They may ditch us anytime. Our relationship with Nepal and Bhutan are out of compulsion to those landlocked nations is a marriage of compulsion and conveneience. If you call Maldives a country yes we have a friendly neighbour.
