Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi's recent visit to the Union territory of Lakshadweep and subsequent social media posts have sparked a diplomatic row between India and the Maldives. During his visit, Modi inaugurated and laid the foundation stone for development projects worth ₹1,156 crore and shared his experiences of the archipelago's beauty and tranquility, including a personal snorkeling adventure. The visit aimed to promote Lakshadweep as a tourism destination, drawing comparisons to the Maldives and leading to a significant increase in Google searches for the Indian islands. However, derogatory remarks made by Maldivian government officials on social media, including calling Modi a 'clown' and a 'puppet of Israel', led to widespread calls for a tourism boycott of the Maldives. In response, the Maldives government suspended three ministers and issued a statement distancing itself from the comments. Indian celebrities and politicians have since rallied in support of promoting domestic tourism, while one of India's largest travel platforms, EaseMyTrip, suspended all Maldives flight bookings and launched a #ChaloLakshadweep campaign. Amidst the controversy, Maldives President Mohamed Muizzu embarked on a state visit to China, seeking to deepen bilateral ties and cooperation under the Belt and Road Initiative, which is seen as a pivot away from India.
