There is a massive boycott campaign against Maldives in India now. Not a smart move to piss the country that they were most dependent on. Hope when a cyclone hits them Turkey or China can get them water and accept them as refugees when they sink. But alas i have a gut feeling they will become "South asians" to these countries when that time come.
Point is that we are messing up relationships with each and every neighbour.
Think about this, and forget Pakistan. Going clockwise,
Nepal hates us, on two counts;
Bhutan is disappointed that we let the Chinese take over the family grounds of the royal family;
Myanmar, where the junta is fighting for survival, they are too dependent on the Chinese to bother about the Indians, whose efforts are down the drain;
Bangladesh hates us, everyone thinks that Doval's interference and helping Sheikh Hasina stay in power was a sign that their government was India's poodle;
Sri Lanka, where they are cringing, and pro-India, because only India will help them today;
and now
Maldives, where we were heavy-handed and have helped a political blowback that is effectively a free entry to the Chinese.
This is the brilliant diplomacy that is constantly touted.
They really want US to do the work but will then babble on how indian ocean is india's ocean
