- Even if the new state was recognized, as von Glahn, Law Among Nations,
95– 96, observed, such recognition “automatically involves recognition of
the Government of that State, for no one could envision recognition of the
whole unit without inclusion of its operating agency, its government.” - Parakatil, India and the United Nations Peace Keeping Operations, 75. The

nessed the height of Israel’s international isolation. - Misra, India’s Policy of Recognition, 192. The September 1950 statement was
silent on the legal status. - Mehrish, India’s Recognition Policy, 80.

- India’s recognition of the state of Palestine is a notable exception. But this
should be seen in the context of traditional Indian support for the Palestin-
ian cause and its recognition of the Palestine Liberation Or ga ni za tion (PLO)

- India’s refusal to endorse a separate Tamil homeland in Sri Lanka has in-
hibited the Tamil militant groups, especially the Liberation Tigers of Tamil
Eelam (LTTE), from pursuing the option of a Unilateral Declaration of In de-
pen dence (UDI). - Such conditions were absent in the case of the APG declared on September
22, 1948. Hence, despite supporting the Arabs in the past, India did not
