Maldives sacks multiple ministers to pacify India

Is there any other source than Times Algebra? I find it quite a bit sketchy.

Apparently it is. Though ICC is not really a body that can force these businesses.

If you know politics of Modi, then you would have already known that this is Modi's way of telling Travel planners to divert their Maldives traffic to Lakshadweep or Andaman as much as possible or IT department is on the way. Modi never confronts directly, he uses lethal tactics.

He actually baited Maldives to reach to his Lakshadweep visit and they took the bait.

I mean if push comes to shove we can always do that. It's half a day's job. I am not saying we should do it today. Their proximity to China must dictate our action.

Modi has done this in Kashmir, he can do this again I guess.

Do you also remember that in Kashmir, he picked up his skirts and ran for cover when the Chinese farted?

China has its strategic interests in Maldives.... Pakistan too if have a concrete support from China can accept such invitation.....

Since Pakistan is geographically closer to Maldives compared to China they may ask Pakistan to maintain its military presence in Maldives in order to secure Chinese interest there.... technically no one can oppose them as they will be their on Maldives government invitation and technically India can't resist as it will make India look like an aggressor.....

Why do you think China will confront India needlessly? India is not playing anti-China anywhere. Even during HK riots, India kept quiet. India did not speak a single word against China. All the hypes has been done by the media while the govt has actually stayed quiet. China has a lot to lose if it antagonises India and forces India to ally closer with USA.

So we have people (mostly congressi) who are against development of Lakshadweep because it will ruin her prestige beauty. First decide whicy side you are on want development or not.

Also don’t worry about Infra as this is not congressi government. Modi knows how to execute stuff and get the job done. Just look around every corridor work be it Kashi or Ayodhya it will be all transportation, hotels and activities.

Right.

Look at what he and his fellows have done to Uttarakhand.

Brilliant examples you use.

China will not risk water wars in India's backyard and India will be very happy if they do.

Now you stop bending and listening to Xi's whispers into your ears. Just check with Chief Naval Bhakt Hari Kumar, how many ship days the PLA N spends in the IOR.

Precisely.

Nice summary, though perhaps not exactly what you intended.

You will not get an answer to that on an open forum. Even if someone knows the answer.

The educated guess is, we have helped the previous guy and China is helping the current one. Help does not necessarily mean bribe. Help could be in terms of policies.

If you observe, current Maldivs guy was visited by USAID chief. USA even established an embassy in Maldives coinciding with the elections. USA even tried to rig Bangladesh elections to bring anti-India government. It looks like USA is trying to pressure India to take its side by intimidation. It does not look like Chinese work.

Their soldiers will come and what will they do exactly? Kill our people? So that we can wipe them off of earth? No western countries will give a shit once they start it first.

LOL.

You seriously think they'll do anything to attract further attention after all the bad press they've been getting?

So than Indians are working against current guy who is Chinese supporter what is your problem? Indians can decide we don’t want to go to place which bad mouthed Indians (read tweets) and her PM.

If Maldives current administration want to place their bets on China than India needs to look after her interest. There is Sam, dam, dand and Bhed and anything can be used.

Your type just want India to sit there and do nothing. Nop Chinas support created campaign against India so India will do her job.

India already has enough concessions from BD. You have access to our ports, transit to North East. (with unreasonably low transit fees.)

Enclave was an issue. But wasn't the main issue. Water sharing is. India should have signed the Tista agreement. Instead they played us and said, 'oh we really want to sign it but its all Mamata Banerjee's fault.'

Which of course is a very bad excuse.
And now I am worry what will happen when Ganga treaty will expire in 2026.

In principle, India has a perception problem in BD as a good faith actor. Almost every trade deals seems to be one sided. Not very mutually beneficial.

What usually end up happening is, given the current government is illegitimate, its primary job is to get political support from foreign powers in exchange for (very often) one sides trade agreement. not necessarily to cut a fair and beneficial deal for the country.

billions dollars adani power deal is a recent exmaple. Only reason Hassina gave it to Adani becuase Modi asked her too. And now we have to pay three time extra to buy the same power that we could have gotten from our own powerplants with much less. BD is a very poor country and genuinely cannot afford such political appeasement deals. Thus, for public's perception, it appears that India is exploiting us. And in this case, it is actually very true.

Hence, the problem seems to be with India's BD policy, it is a short term thinking about how can much we get by any mean as long as Hassina is in power. Otherwise, if India's stablishment really wanted a long term state to state relation (independent of whatever party is in power in either countries) based on trust and mutual benefits, Modi should have never pressed for such an extremely unfair deal. (And now we are hearing, the deal could be even legally void)

What will end up happening in the future is, anytime the illegal government slipps from power the next government will be very cautious and distrustful of India and understandably so based on previous experience of exploitation, and may even try decoupling on some fronts.

In short, India foreign policy fails to capitalize on good opportunities when it's there, yet jump on short term bad opportunities and extend itself too much.

And right now India cannot even fully trust Hassina, because economy is going more and more in the gutter and she is becoming isolated as US ramp up its pressure gradually, yet India cannot do much to help her. So, she already started to lean more and more guess where? Where the power and money is, and It's PRC. She seems to realise if USA and west goes all in, only PRC will be able to provide her with political and economic shelter to the extent that she needs.
So don't be too surprised if you see another submarine deal. (This time good ones)

That is why India love Hasinaji, very balanced visionary.

This has already been talked about i.e. India is important here. However you decide to go down that route then nations like China and western states will come to their aid.
