A ban without enforcement is symbolism. A ban without social change is theatre. And slowly, citizens begin to treat every new prohibition not as law, but as background noise.
American Psycho gave us Patrick Bateman. In HBO's Industry, Yasmin Kara-Hanani, played by Marisa Abela, channels convicted sex offender and Jeffrey Epstein's former partner Ghislaine Maxwell.
Who is responsible for the years that Arvind Kejriwal, Manish Sisodia, Sanjay Singh, and Vijay Nair lost? For the choked governance that Delhi faced for three years?
Even if Narendra Modi is too petrified to take a stand, the Congress and Sonia Gandhi have rightly criticised this outright violation of international norms.
Exports to the UAE, Gulf remittances and shipping are at risk as the Strait of Hormuz is closed. A weaker rupee, and soaring gold liabilities could stoke inflation.
For too long, sales misconduct has been treated as an operational issue created by overzealous relationship managers. The elevation of the issue to the board level signifies that mis-selling is a governance failure.
The lessons of earlier American regime-change efforts should be obvious. The dismantling of Iran’s regime could lead to the breakdown of state authority and the rise of warlords.
Major energy infrastructure is in the crosshairs of the conflict, raising risks of the biggest shock since Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. Qatar’s largest LNG plant remains shut, fuelling supply fears.
Sinking of the ship has raised eyebrows in the Indian defence and security establishment. Lankan navy has recovered several bodies, believed to be of crew members.
The Pakistani political leadership is weak and devoid of any intellect. Its diplomacy is entirely India-China-US focused and suffers from a presumptive view of Afghanistan as a vassal.

I am not a BJP fan, but making disparaging remarks on a country’s prime minister, I do not know who supports unprovoked, unlike they are mental, like this guy. No one in the govt said a word and you construe it as bullying a small nation.
The leftist wokes are a problem everywhere and they are myopic at best.
Indian government hasn’t really done anything to bully Maldives. The citizens have expressed their anger at the Maldivian ministers called our Prime Minister a puppet in the way they could. It has nothing to do with being powerful. Jobs not there for our people and other internal problems are ours.
Those comments from the 3 ministers reflects the attitude of the Government. These 3 just couldn’t hide the emotion.
And there is nothing against from Indian government. Where is the bully? atleast it is not started yet.
The problem with left leaning authors is yet again amplified. In an article purportly focused on foreign relations, Para 1 refers to the lack of jobs. Another para is exclusively dedicated to covid, Manipur, silence of celebrities on all that is wrong in this country. Dear Sir, celebrities do not really weigh in on anything other than their next movie release.
The sad attempt at maligning a large chunk of Indian voters as Modi worshippers is another overused trope.
The article surprisingly steers clear of the core issue at play – Have Indian diplomats factored in the noisy bunch on twitter in their strategy? Lastly, as the author suggests, if the Maldivian ministers are such light weights then the folks on twitter are even lighter and inconsequential. Some depth is sorely needed from the intelligentsia.
“a set of opinions is not a fact”. Even after supporting Maldives so much, India got backstabbed.
So, we will bully Maldives even more. Set an example.
Shame on The Print for sounding like China’s mouthpiece, just like many other anti-India news outlets. Just because Modi ji is not acting tough against news outlets spreading false narratives and hate campaigns you can’t feel emboldened. People are watching and you stand exposed in every anti-India article your churn out. Karma will hunt you down soon.
Isn’t this just a mere frustration article. Like I read The Print to actually gain something. Not for whining of some guy I don’t know, who isn’t even aware of ground realty. We are a 1.4 billion people country, of course our social media will be loud. But the people who actually have work don’t have time to be bothered by what is happening online. They simply won’t visit a place if they don’t feel welcomed. Your article would have been good for a social media post. But this is not something worth reading on a reputable paper like The Print.
Problem is bigger than the 3 ministers. Maldives has voted for india out manifesto (biased/untrue, targeting foreign nation), whereas india and celebrities asked to more frequently visit its own islands than others
3 ministers are just the tip of the iceberg, problem is bigger Mr. Author. If maldives was given a choice to first say “india out” (Maldives talking about foreign country india), then indians should be given the right to say prefer to party on your own country than others (india talking to improve itself).
I thought a lot about whether I should dignify the commie-ready assclowns sorry piece of brain numbing nonsense with a response. I felt it deserved atleast aine given the effort commie had put to dish out utter trash. First of all the brainless clown hasn’t realised that our PM has maintained a dignified silence and no one is being coaxed to do anything. The spontaneous reaction of Indians is the result of absolutely unwarranted comments by some jobless maldivi jokers with the tacit support of their bearded goat PM who has been trying to beg slit eyed commie Chinese and jihadi tourists from across the world. We have always been a good neighbour to Maldives but this should have been reciprocated by their political leadership. The locals there should strongly urge their leadership to reconsider the India out strategy which they have been tom toming. So Commie-ready has like an ostrich dished out crap without considering facts.
India has call their LEADER with crass language it is they who abused our country and leader and what for have we did anything adverse to them know we aren’t playing any sport but it is high time people should know be it is maldives or america that india will not bow down
Penalized….excuse me!
Reason for boycotting & not going is purely our of fear & disrespect we would receive on arrival in Maldives.
No campaign of the honourable prime minister ever compared or said to compete with or pull down Maldives.
Least their leadership could do is come on record and Apologize.
If this is what they think of Indians, to hell with them.

Kapil Komireddi is right. It is not necessary to answer every deputy minister that rants.
Those comments from the 3 ministers reflects the attitude of the Government. These 3 just couldn’t hide the emotion.

Not so cool blog man and illogical and am not pro BJP though

Hey Chinese agent, are you dumb? They voted on India out and you ask us to be silent.

Yeah, because Maldivians didn’t vote for the ruling party’s “India Out” campaign. I wonder how much CCP dishes out for such tomfckry.

How much Did you get from China to write this article? India never talked anything about Maldives.

Please rename your self to ‘’Anti-India print’’
Well said! Humility, Patience and Generosity are expected of Greatness.
The article should have ended with the truth: “Kapil Komireddi, author on Chinese payroll.”
I disagree
If you expect responsibility from biggest nation
Please ask smaller nation to behave first
There will be reaction to untoward action
India has call their LEADER with crass language it is they who abused our country and leader and what for have we did anything adverse to them know we aren’t playing any sport but it is high time people should know be it is maldives or america that india will not bow down
