Indian should focus on lakshadwip and other around islands for making them tourists destination just like Maldives. India has a lot of potential to make the similar tourists destination

[arjunsaji]

Same country which begged for India's help when their president was being chased by mobsters

[Tera-roxu]

India should reduce number of medical visas being issued to them.. the hospitals in Bangalore n Chennai are flooded with creatures from this country

[SS-shww]

Dont worry We have military installations both in Seychelles & the Mauritius... plus we have our own Indian Islands in the region ! Luv from INDIA !

[dwaipayanbandyopadhyay]

If all the "Celebrities" and "Rich" people stop visiting Maldives from India, they would die of

[zacthegamer]

India needs to build up military base in Andaman and Nicobar Islands! If already built, modernize it ten fold!

[Tera-roxu]

Speaking like this is easy.. when it will come to climate justice rich nations will show them middle fingers.. 😅😅

[praveenm]

If people of Maldives and their Govt decide to remove Indian Military then India should respect that. India should have firm agreements; which cannot be overturned every time there is a change in Govt. Its our fault. Learn from it and move on.

[CamperDurgesh]

My good name is Durgesh and I feel sorry for Maldives. That island nation is like a gullible friend falling victim to a ponzi scheme.

[nakedtruth.]

Indian govt and media were fighting a war against Canada and forgot the fact that they lost in Maldives.

[Ranze_Draws]

As a Maldivian. I feel a bit conflicted and uncomfortable with some of your comments. The way how some of you are genuinely pissed off at our decision to get rid of a foreign military is alarming. And I’ve seen some comments expressing interests in subduing my sovereign and independent nation. I have nothing against Indians, not at all. And I believe that we can still keep diplomatic relations without the need of the Indian military to be in my country.

[venkatesan]

Who ever comes in. Reign we must stamp our authority. The govt should increase the military buildup in Lakshadweep.

[SY-uqmg]

After the India-China war in 1962, Nepal allowed Indian troops in Kalapani in Nepal as a defensive measure. We all know the story following that.

[salanismail]

New president Maldives 🇲🇻 sent india strong masage..
That's good decision his foreign politics....
I'm sure Maldives people enough their own security

[Amuzic_Earth]

As an Indian I think we should listen to what the people of a nation is saying, and if they want us out, so be it. And we shouldn't be punitive to them either just because they want us out...but, at the same time we should stop the charity that we provide them completely. And we have to be watchful, if they really do any activity that's against our interest such as let China spy on us or something...then we should act accordingly. Eitherway in 2 decades these islands would be unliveable...and we won't take them as climate refugees for sure.

[superdelight]

If PLA cmes to Maldives, invade the islands. Take back all support given to them.

[rajunair]

I think India has to accept it if it's a democratic country and President won the elections with people's support... In

[BAVA]

Where ever these peace community..there a ecosystem is in danger

[PAA_MANAH]

Maldives is a strategically important location in the Indian ocean for india. My take is we should respect maldives sovereign decision at the same we must not gave easily such location which is critical for our own security reasons.
