The Conflict in Sri Lanka (8th August 2033 – 1st January 2037), is was an internal proxy conflict fought between Indian and Chinese backed groups in Sri Lanka.
After a botched Indian backed coup on the 8th August 2033, a conflict would break out between the military elements supporting the coup and the Chinese backed Government. India would intervene in the conflict in early January 2034, sending over 50,000 forces to the Island.
Four months after the original attempted coup Indian forces entered the parliament building of Sri Lanka and dissolved the government, replacing it with a temporary military junta under the command of Indian Admiral Soonil Bhokare to supposedly restore order.
Just under a week after the Indian seizure of power the Protectorate of Sri Lanka was established and the government reinstated, although Sri Lanka would effectively remain a puppet of India.
The conflict itself would continue up until the end of the Sino-Indian Proxy War at which point India would withdraw from the island and the pre-2034 government would return from exile.
