India Out, that's the slogan some opposition parties in the Maldives have been repeating for more than two years now, claiming the government is selling their country to India.
The campaign, now banned by the government, started in 2020 as street protests - quickly gaining traction on social media.
Those behind it say they only oppose India's small military presence in the Maldives, and are not against trade, cultural and other ties.
What does that mean for the close ties between India and the Maldives?
