The ruling officials of this country have done everything in their power to incite anti-Indian sentiments there, even with India's occasional assistance.
 
All of this has recently risen once again with the visit of indian Prime minister Narendra Modi to Lakshadweep.
 
The maldives, a collection of over 1200 islands, is the country under debate. Situated in the indian Ocean, it is an island nation. india is not far away. Only 200 of the Maldives' islands are inhabited by locals, while the remaining 12 are designated as tourist destinations with resorts, hotels, and other amenities. Every year, over six lakh tourists visit this place. The majority of visitors are from india, which contributes significantly to its economy. The maldives is divided into seven provinces.

However, did you know that until the eleventh century, the maldives was still ruled by Hindu kings? Later on, it also developed into a Buddhist center. Here, too, tamil Chola rulers have held power. However, it then began to transform into a Muslim country gradually. The Maldives' official religion is Islam. "A non-Muslim cannot become a citizen of Maldives".
 
The Maldives' history is over 2,500 years old, based on both historical data and folklore. Around 500 BC, Gujaratis landed in sri lanka and became the first people to settle in the Maldives. Some moved to the maldives from there. The Dhevis were the first inhabitants of the Maldives. They were from India's Kalibangan. Long ago, the copper plates that chronicled the first Maldivian kings of the Solar Dynasty vanished.
 
The maldives is predominantly a Sunni Muslim nation. Yameen, who took office in 2013, encouraged religious radicalism in the nation with his party. Many young people from this area joined isis in Syria. The ruling party is currently once again influenced by Yameen. This explains why every effort is being made to purposefully foster an anti-Indian environment there.
