"India-Maldives Tensions Rise Amid Controversial Comments and Historical Ties Highlighted by PM Modi's Visit"

In 1988, India successfully thwarted a coup attempt in the Maldives through Operation Cactus, swiftly deploying troops in response to an SOS from President Maumoon Abdul Gayoom. The intervention involved neutralizing a force of around 400 armed militants, including members of the Sri Lankan militant organization PLOTE, and rescuing the Maldivian president. The recent social media conflict between India and the Maldives was sparked by Prime Minister Narendra Modi's promotion of Lakshadweep as a tourist destination, which led to a surge in interest for the Indian territory and derogatory remarks from some Maldivian politicians and social media users. This has brought back memories of India's pivotal role in preserving Maldivian democracy during the 1988 crisis.
