The question of whether the Maldives is part of India has been a subject of debate, especially amid the recent political developments in the island nation. While the Maldives is a sovereign state with its own government and political system, it has always shared close ties with India, both geographically and historically. The India-Maldives relationship has been influenced by various geopolitical factors, particularly in recent years, as the country’s political landscape has shifted. One significant issue that has come to the fore is the India Out campaign, which raises concerns about the growing Indian influence in the region.

Pakistan has started a new military operation called Azm-e-Istehkam (Resolve of Durable Stability) to fight Islamist extremism and terrorism. This is the twelfth major operation since 2007, following many smaller ones. Previous operations, like Rah-E-Rast, Rah-E-Haq, and Sherdil, focused on specific areas. Larger operations like Zarb-E-Azb and Radd-Ul-Fassad aimed to destroy terrorist networks across the country. Azm-e-Istehkam aims to stop the rise of Islamist terror networks that have grown stronger after the US left Afghanistan, with some help from Pakistan.
