Amidst the ‘Boycott Maldives’ trend on social media following anti-India comments from a Maldivian minister and citizens, cricket legend Sachin Tendulkar took to X to share his experience and appreciation for the beauty of India’s Sindhudurg. Tendulkar posted a video recounting his visit to Sindhudurg on his 50th birthday, emphasizing the stunning locations and warm hospitality that left him with cherished memories.
In his X post, the former Indian captain wrote, “India is blessed with beautiful coastlines and pristine islands. With our ‘Atithi Devo Bhava’ philosophy, we have so much to explore, so many memories waiting to be created #ExploreIndianIslands.”
The ‘Boycott Maldives’ hashtag gained traction after Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s visit to Lakshadweep, where he praised the islands’ beauty. In response to the anti-India comments, Sachin Tendulkar’s post emphasizes the richness of India’s coastal destinations, encouraging the exploration of the country’s diverse and picturesque landscapes.
