Rising Islamism in Maldives, threat to India
New Delhi, February 11 (ANI): The emergence of hard line Islam in the Maldives, a relatively new development for the country, has sparked off concerns in India that it could be used as a potential base for Islamist militants. Hard line Islamism is increasing in the political scene in the Maldives and has played a role in the overthrow of the democratically elected government, say reports. It also raises questions about the stability of the Maldives, which is located on a strategically important sea route used for transporting a large portion of the world's crude oil.
