Maldives sacks multiple ministers to pacify India

[TheEconomist]

What if Russia + France + UK + China also send them milk, vegetables etc. because of 'higher average income'

Geography, they're wayyy too far.

Russia + UK+ US + China will either find a way or make one.

India is screwed.

Wanted to visit Maldives but now ‘NO’. Don’t like to visit a place where they do not like us come. proposing to have a friends reunion but will pick another place. I thought Maldivians come to kerala for hospitals etc. Read some time back but not sure.

Has the Maldives harmed us?
Are we at war?
So three knuckleheads write tweets in very bad taste.
They also got uptight about the Laccadives opening up.

So what's going on?
Why is it now a matter of national pride to hunt down the Maldives?

It's not a matter of national pride. There is an undercurrent in Maldivian youth harbouring on Hindu-phobia and anti-India sentiments. This is primarily due to pursuing higher education in north Kerala(Malabar region) where anti-Hindu massacres are celebrated publically.

This brain-washing has started rearing it's ugly head, it must be crushed in the bud. Majority of Maldivian youth are extremely pro-India, almost to the extent of Nepal. But the ones that are toxic must be dealt with severely. India must use it's soft-power to influence public conduct of our neighbours towards us.

Strange question. A dude who ran 'Get out India' campaign becomes PM (after a roadshow with modi masks being beaten with brooms), three of his ministers call India smelly and Modi a clown, PM, apart from asking our troops to leave openly abuses our leadership, explicityly annoys us with plans to give china greater access/presence. All this does not indicate a hostile intent from their side?

Kill baby hitler.

 

[vsdoc]

Like we did with Nepal?
Got you. Right, check.
Oh, wait, that's wrong, it should have been Bhutan, right? Where we said you can't have a foreign policy of your own, and then went and gave away the ancestral lands of the ruling dynasty, because, like Jaishankar said, we are a teeny weeny little economy, and the Chinese are a B I G economy?
It's all clear now.

That was brutal.

But I liked it.

Cheers, Doc

NOW I understand.
There is an undercurrent harbouring on Hindu-phobia and on anti-India sentiments. That's because they study in India. Pretty clear; study in India, and you become anti-India.
But this is a minority. The majority are extremely pro-India.
So that's the analysis.
So now we cut off the Maldivean economy at the knees, and get them to understand that we are the bosses. The toxic ones will get it, the pro-India ones will understand that we don't want them to starve, that's just collateral damage, can't make an omelette without breaking eggs. The natural result of kicking them in the balls will be that we will influence the public conduct of our neighbours, and make it 'towards' us.
Logical and clear.

Kill baby hitler.

So it indicates a hostile intent on their side. What are you suggesting we do? Make them more hostile? Make them less hostile? Which?

I don't know whether it was school and a toxic atmosphere, or it was college, probably engineering, that rotted their brains away.

make them our b***h.

Friendly if frindly, hostile if hostile.

 

[Joe Shearer]

We absolutely do, it is situated at a critical trade route and a anti India govt can totally screw us over by being our very own Cuba.
it's clear as day that china is funding Mizzu, and If you don't find that concerning then I have a private Island to sell you.
Also Strings of Pearls anyone,
Now you can question why having a Cuba right at our doorstep is bad for us, which I don't have an answer for, except the word common sense

Very clearly argued.
And we fix that by showing them that we are bigger and stronger than them.
That's how China fixed us, so that's how we will fix them.
It's nice to do foreign policy with such clarity of thought.

At this point I am not sure I have enough data to come to a clear conclusion. There are many factions and "tribes" within Maldivian politics. My knowledge about them is basic at best.

I think I will be able to give a better answer as I learn more about it.

Of course that will work.
If it works with freshers, why shouldn't it work with an independent country?
