Maldives is a country with sun-dappled beaches and luxury resorts. They country also have coral-fringed lagoons in Indian Ocean which will look like computer-generated. The country has been the favourite destination for tourists from all over the world. But the country was having a troubled real face as it was under the suffocating dictatorship for the last thirty years. It was only last year that the country got it’s first democratically elected President, Mohamed Nasheed who took power from Maumoon Abdul Gayoom, who was the ruler of Maldives since 1978 which was in the October last year. No one knows this better than, the nation’s new, who unseated, the Maldives’ ruler since, in a landmark election last October. Nasheed was a prisoner in the same country.

In a country were prisoners were dunked in the sea, were forced to consume glass, exposed to solitary confinement or even dipped in molasses and were tied to the palm trees, to attract the insect from the swarms. The newly elected president is ensuring the people that they will get liberal democracy. Maldives is an orthodox Sunni country which has the greatest GDP per capita in the entire south Asia. This figure is actually inflated by the tourism revenues but this is not getting to the majority of the country’s population. Most of the population is just earning less than two dollars a day. Another crisis which is bothering the nation is the drug addition of its youth which can prove to the worst problem the country has ever faced.
The key political institution of a country, the press, the judiciary and the legislature are emerging in the country. The country is facing a more dangerous elemental challenge as the coastline and its fascinating coral reefs are in the verge of extinction as the sea levels are swelling. The country can create awareness among the population regarding the environmental problems faced by the country. If the sea levels are increasing, a good portion of the country will sink according to the scientists. The country is also planning to keep aside a large proportion from its tourism revenues keeping this in mind. This money can be later used for purchasing new land in bigger nations like India or Australia
