History of Maldives Timeline

A comparative study of Maldivian oral, linguistic and cultural traditions and customs confirms that the first settlers were Dravidians, who came from Kerala in the Sangam period (BCE 300–300 CE). They were probably fishermen from the south-west coast of the Indian subcontinent and the west coast of Sri Lanka. One such community is the Giraavaru people who are descendants of the ancient Tamils. Ancient legends and local folklore describe the founding of the capital and the illustrious rule of Male.

They are believed to have been the first community to settle on the island. The accord granting full political independence to the Maldives was signed by Prime Minister Ibrahim Nasir Ranbanderi Kilegafan on behalf of His Majesty the Sultan and Sir Michael Walker, Ambassador to the Maldivian Islands on behalf of Her Majesty the Queen. The ceremony was held on 26 July 1965 at the residence of the British High Commissioner in Colombo.

The Maldives remained under Hindu kings till the twelfth century. Later it also became the center of Buddhism. Tamil Chola kings have also ruled here. But after that it slowly went on turning into a Muslim nation. Islam is the official religion of Maldives. “A non-Muslim cannot become a citizen of Maldives”.
