In hindsight, it now appears that
allowing the going down of a popular and young Maldivian, President, and
Mohamed Nassed in an unethical and unconstitutional coup was a huge error in
judgment on the part of Indian Government. For, the current events in Maldives
confirm a larger conspiracy against India
and its interests in the region. India
can’t now afford to make just knee jerk reaction any more. It is good and
morally right not to interfere in the internal affairs of a sovereign Nation;
but, it would be too innocent on our part to wash off our hands from a Nation
in close proximity to be influenced by inimical forces with imperial and
colonial design against India .
Not long ago India
had to intervene militarily in Maldives
Island to safeguard its President
and Island Nation against armed marauders; of course, on request from the then
President, Mohamed Gayuoom. India
is too big a country to expect a quid pro quo from a fragile Island
Nation like Maldives .
However, India
should not leave any stone unturned to preserve and protect larger and long
term strategic interest of the country in the region. In my opinion India
should down grade the diplomatic representation at Maldives
and also could announce a demarche to its diplomat in New
Delhi . And, it should now be made very clear to the
current Govt. of Maldives that India
considers its decisions seriously; which is much above, just commercial
consideration and would affect long term relations between two countries.
Further, incase of any Natural disaster on account of Climate change phenomena;
India could not
be of any help, unless, Maldives
change its current policies. However, India
should be in touch with former President Mr. Nassed discreetly and keep a close
vigil on the current leadership of Maldives
to strike appropriately at a time of its own choosing.
