Controversy Surrounding Kachitivu Island Ownership

Kachitivu, a small island located 33 kilometers off the Indian coast within Sri Lanka's maritime boundary, has sparked a recent controversy. Rooted in historical disputes dating back to the 1920s, the island's ownership has been contested between India and Sri Lanka. Despite an agreement in 1974 where the island went to Sri Lanka, Indian fishermen were granted access for specific purposes. The resurgence of this issue ahead of Tamil Nadu elections has political implications, with the BJP leveraging it to challenge the ruling government.
