A recent online feud between India and the Maldives, triggered by speculations over the Maldivian government's alignment with China, has escalated into a diplomatic row. Prime Minister Modi's promotion of Lakshadweep fueled the controversy, leading to derogatory remarks from Maldivian officials and a subsequent campaign by Indian celebrities to promote domestic tourist destinations. The online battle has not only prompted a #boycottmaldives movement but also resulted in on-ground diplomatic actions, raising concerns about the enduring friendship between the two nations.
