"India-Maldives Tensions: Impact on Travel Plans"


Things are getting tense between India and the Maldives because of a tweet from a Maldivian minister. The tweet claims India is intentionally targeting the Maldives and suggests India is struggling to compete with the Maldives in beach tourism. This has led many Indians to say they're canceling their trips to the Maldives, and the hashtag '#BoycottMaldives' is trending on social media.

The issue isn't just about a single tweet. It's part of a bigger change in the Maldives' foreign policy since President Mohamed Muizzu took office. He seems to be moving away from the previous "India first" approach, showing a stronger connection with China.

The Maldives has been crucial in India's regional plans like 'SAGAR' and the 'Neighbourhood First Policy.' However, Muizzu's upcoming visit to China from January 8 to 12 suggests a significant shift towards closer ties with China, leaving India in a bit of a pickle.
