singhvivek141 Posted January 9, 2024 Posted January 9, 2024 Well, all this debacle has now lead to a probability of new airport at Minicoy Island (last Island of Lakshadweep) which will serve as a Military plus Commercial airport and will also have Naval base. Already the Naval & Airforce base is underway at Great Nicobar, which will help us to keep an eye on Malacca Strait. coffee_rules 1

Have to bump our economy & military power, no two thoughts about it. Plus have to start doing state sponsored information warfare & propaganda. World listens to the powerful..."vir bhogya vasundhara" is what we say in Sanskrit. Culture of freeloading & poaching the refugees should be stopped. This habit of "vasudhaeva kutumbakam" isn't going to take us anywhere. We are on our own. coffee_rules and Gollum 2
Ranvir Posted January 10, 2024 Posted January 10, 2024 Just go to Mauritius, it has stunning beaches and a lot more to explore, the locals are also very friendly. The Maldives are mind numbingly boring after 3 days unless you just want to sit at a beach all day and night.
LordPrabhzy Posted January 10, 2024 Posted January 10, 2024 Agree with you as I have been there as well- cheaper than Maldives and tonnes more to do an experience if one has the time.
Chaos Posted January 10, 2024 Posted January 10, 2024 Been to maldives three times from the states. Amazing beach n mostly indian food consumed there. Also, sechelles is better than maldives. first time hearing lakshwadeep! Laaloo 1
coffee_rules Posted January 10, 2024 Posted January 10, 2024 Mauritius was the Bollywood phoren destination obsession in the late 80s and 90s . Many Hindi films like Hum, Agnipath, Baazigar were shot there. Now they have switched to Maldives probably it’s cheaper
cowboysfan Posted January 10, 2024 Posted January 10, 2024 Golden opportunity for India to flex its muscles with its neighbours.lets see how Maldives can tolerate a complete trade embargo,its fate might be a warning to our neighbuors.Decades of being a good guy neighbour has gotten us nowhere,all our them see to hate us for no reason. coffee_rules 1

ravishingravi Posted January 11, 2024 Author Posted January 11, 2024 Nations are about national interests. When you give some country it's sovereignty this is always a possibility. Don't blame Maldives. They are looking at their options just as we would. Question is why did we allow a separate nation status to them. There is literally no reason for it to be a separate country.

Maldives is only 6 lakh people. If India tomorrow declares Maldives starting x date is 9th union territory, what can they do ? Its not as if anyone including China will come to rescue them. I think we should just leave them alone.. They will fight among themselves and destroy maldives in few years.

mishra Posted January 16, 2024 Posted January 16, 2024 Think Indian islands are classic case of lost opportunitis , misplaced priorities and poor governances of Congress rule. Not many know but We have over 600 islands most of them unhabitated and laws preventing Indians to even visit, forget investment. As far as row is concerned, I am not very much bothered as for MAldives, They are suffering from "Grass looks greener on other side" syndrome. Let them experience Chines bonhomie coffee_rules 1
ravishingravi Posted October 11, 2024 Author Posted October 11, 2024 Seems like Maldives has been put in its place. Strategic patience has worked out. It economics stupid. Maldives elites and politicians own the hotels. Hotels earn dollars and invest offshore. Maldives ran out of foreign currency. In comes India. Muzzu had to grovel and did it willingly.
ravishingravi Posted October 11, 2024 Author Posted October 11, 2024 Excellent storytelling merged with facts.

That was the reason that it was a preferred choice of shooting destination in the 80s and 90s. Maldives is more exclusive, hence it gets picked now for shooting songs. coffee_rules 1
