    Gotabaya Rajapaksa won Sri Lanka's presidential election, posing risks for minorities and India. The election showed deep divisions, as Tamils strongly supported Sajith Premadasa over Gotabaya, who is accused of war crimes against Tamils and favors closer ties to China, which could establish bases and threaten India's influence. India must protect minorities, monitor Sri Lanka's actions, shape the Indian narrative in Sri Lanka to support anti-terrorism, and change its military strategy in light of increased Chinese penetration in the region due to Sri Lanka's debt to China.

    Srilankan election meant a strategic shift in the entire focus of the Indian interests in srilanka as the the

    threat of China is prominent due to the debt trap of the country. The changes in the political system of
    the country after Easter bombins are very significant as the politics became the race between the
    minority and the majority. The winner Gotabaya poses a significant threat to the North and the eastern
    part of the island nation as the minorities fear a backslash and the voting pattern indicate a huge divide
    in the voting of the candidate as the people in the North chose safety of the race. Gotabaya is also party
    to the alleged war crimes committed during the era of Mahinda rajapaksha ( his brother). The Buddhist
    dominated south voted solidly with the Gotabaya and not towards the Sajith premadasa side but the
    gap was too wide for sajith to close in the minority dominated north. Sajith got 70% of the votes in the
    minority dominated seats.

    Future threats to the subcontinent :

    1) Minority rights mistreatment leading to a civil war or militancy in the subcontinent which can
    have a significant fallout on the Indian state of Tamilnadu due to its shared ethnicity with Tamils
    2) Closeness with China leading to establishment of Chinese bases in the south of the subcontinent
    which can pose serious challenge to the sovereignty and the regional superiority of the Navy
    3) Press/Opposition suppression
    4) Effect on the strategic assets of India

    Future course of action :

    1) India needs to be vigilant on the Chinese penetration in the area and it should increase action on
    the specific case thus instrumenting the changes in the Eastern command strategy of the
    country
    2) Tamil and the Muslim minority needs to be protected and the course of action needs to be set
    to monitor activities of the Srilankan law enforcement on the activities of the Srilankan state
    3) Controlling the Indian narrative in Srilanka to create support to anti-terror infrastructure for the
    same
    4) The changes in the structure
