Indi has no any friendly neighbours now as has been earlier (before Modi coming to power). Modi is destroyed everything. Modi destroyed employment, Modi destroyed farmers, Modi destroyed education, Modi has not destroyed what???? Throw out this destroyer Modi from power!!
Author, the present regime in Maldives overthrew an elected govt using military and its Islamic majority to justify it. The undemocratically deposed president Nasheed and india have their right to interact and Nasheed to deplore illegal control of judiciary by the dictator. Why should badrakumar support dictator and call indian support to Nasheed a intervention. If Nasheed allowed China to have a embassy, then clearly India is not interfering in Maldives. Only the author means Pakistan, China support to Maldives dictator as genuine and India hosting Nasheed as interference. Bhadrakumar views illogical.
Sri Bhadrakumar is a known left supporter. naturally he will be against every thing done by the present government. Pak China nexus is playing an important anti - Indiarole in this region.
Has anyone noticed that- in our neighbourhood- religion is also a binding force, like language, rivers and land-stretch is? India is bound by religion, though languages are different. Bangladesh, Pakistan have similar language, but religion is different. Bangladesh and Pakistan had just one binding force- religion. Land stretch, rivers, language were different, so they separated. India and Nepal have common land stretch, rivers, religion. Only language is different, so they remain Visa Free. Male , Sri Lanka have have different language, religion, land stretch, rivers. So these are separate nations.
