Suvadives
The United Suvadive Republic (Dhivehi: އެކުވެރި ސުވާދީބު ޖުމްހޫރިއްޔާ) was a short-lived breakaway state from the Kingdom of Maldives between 1958 and 1963 consisting of the three southern atolls of the Maldive archipelago, Addu Atoll, Huvadhu Atoll and Fuvahmulah. The first president of the new nation was Abdulla Afeef Didi. The secession occurred in the context of the struggle of the Maldives’ emergence as a modern nation. The United Suvaidive Republic inherited a Westminster governance system cloned from Britain along with other institutional structures. Until the recent history of the Maldives, the southern atolls had been richer (plant cover and more fertile soils, seafarers going to trade abroad) than the northern atolls (where the wealth, centralized by the royal administration, came from sailor-merchants from abroad); these two ways of acquiring wealth generate two types of political power: one with a despotic tendency in the north, the ...

Depopulation Of Havaru Thinadhoo
The depopulation of Havaru Thinadhoo was an event that took place in 1962, following the formation of the United Suvadive Republic, when Thinadhoo, the wealthiest island at the time was forcefully depopulated and destroyed. Havaru Thinadhoo operated 9 long haul ships, Gadhdhoo 2 ships, Nilandhoo 3 ships and Dhaandhoo 2 ships with a total of 16 ships in Huvadhu. Thinadhoo was famous throughout the Indian Ocean for their frequent trips. The accumulation of wealth outside the monopoly of the Sultan enabled the southern atolls of Maldives to form an embryo of thalassocracy. First rebellion In July 1959, Ibrahim Nasir travelled in a gunboat with army personnel to Thinadhoo and attacked the residents, arresting the alleged leaders of the United Suvadive Republic present at the time. Great Britain expressed their disapproval of the Maldivian government because of the violent attack against inhabitants of Huvadu on 7 August 1959. Partitioning of Huvadu Atoll Huvadu Atoll was p ...

François Pyrard De Laval
François Pyrard de Laval (; 1578 – ca. 1623) was a French navigator who is remembered for a personal written account of his adventures in the Maldives Islands from 1602 to 1607, which was part of a ten-year sojourn (1601–1611) in South Asia, et al. He was a native of Laval, and was a cousin to theologian Pierre Pyrard (1581–1667). On July 2, 1602, Pyrard and a handful of sailors were shipwrecked on South Maalhosmadulu Atoll of the Maldives. They were taken captive by the Maldivians and spent five years as "unwilling guests" on the islands, with most of the time spent on Malé. The sailors endured malaria and sporadic cruel treatment during their captivity. Nevertheless, Pyrard took pains to learn the local Dhivehi language and by doing so was able to achieve an insight into Maldivian society never before experienced by a European. He took extensive notes regarding Dhivehi culture, customs and history. In February 1607, the Frenchmen escaped from Malé by boat in the mi ...

Huvadhu Kandu
Suvadiva Channel ( Dv: Huvadu Kandu) is the broad channel that separates the northern and central Maldives from the southern atolls. Sperm whales are a common sight on the surface of the Suvadiva Channel. Geography This channel lies between Haddhunmathi Atoll and Huvadhu Atoll and it is the broadest channel between any other atoll of Maldives. In the British Admiralty charts it is called One and a Half Degree Channel. On old French maps it appeared as Courant de Souadou. Roughly in the middle of the broad Huvadu channel there is a small bank known as Medutila (also called Derahaa). This place is the peak of a submarine mountain, and perhaps an atoll in the process of formation. This submerged bank is very difficult to spot for at its shallowest point there is a depth of 6 fathoms (12 m). It looks like a paler blue patch surrounded by huge expanses of the deepest ocean. There, no island can be seen in the horizon for many dozens of miles. See also *Atolls of the Maldives Re ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
