India and its neighborhood- relations.
Amber India-Maldives relations:
India has in the past, intervened in the domestic polity of Maldives, on their specific request for India to do so. Whereas in 2015, another call has being made by ex-president of Maldives- Yameen to intervene in his allegedly political arrest which may see the country descending into chaos- which has been diplomatically avoided by India so far.
Question is- how do we interpret India's Interventionist stance earlier despite its adherence to Panchsheel's principle of Non-intervention?
My only take on this question is that I do not agree to the use of interventionist stance.
Every time India has gone abroad to support, it has been on the request to assist, not intervene.
Bangladesh, Maldives, Sri Lanka, To assist in their sorting out their problem.
so you're pointing to the fact that "intervention" is always voluntary, whereas on request- its said to be "assistance".
Yes there is that nuance.
Iraq Bosnia Afghanistan are examples of intervention
Our policy is to encourage dialogue and peaceful resolution of differences
