Dynasty Of Maldives

[Ahmend Studioz]

Maldiveswas turned into a Sultanate in 1153 when the Buddhist King Dhovemi converted to Islam. Prior to that the Maldives was a Buddhist Kingdom, a Hindu Kingdom and before that a matriarchal society with each atoll ruled by a chief queen according to some accounts or by others, several theocratic societies ruled by priests known as Sawamias of heliolatric, selenolatric and astrolatric religions. All the rulers before King Koimala only ruled over parts of the Maldives or Deeva Maari (and Dheeva Mahal) as it was known then. Koimala was the first king to rule over all the islands of the Maldives as we know today and the island of Maliku.

The formal title of the Sultan up to 1965 was, Sultan of Land and Sea, Lord of the twelve-thousand islands and Sultan of the Maldives which came with the style Highness. After independence in 1965 the Sultan assumed the title King with the style Majesty. This style was used until 1968, when the Maldives became a republic for the second time. The main official Royal residence of the Sultan was the Etherekoilu, a palace in Mal.

The reigns of Sultans are from three sources. Taarikh (also known as the Tarikh lslam Diba Mahal) by Maldivian chronicler Hasan Taj Al-Din (died in 1727) written in Arabic which covers 670 years of Maldives history, the loamaafaanu copper plates and the third source called Raadhavalhi which was written in 1757 using both Dhives Akuru and Thaana.

A 4th century notice written by Ammianus Marcellinus (362 CE) speaks of gifts sent to the Roman emperor Julian by a deputation from the nation of "Divi". The name "Divi" is very similar to "Dheyvi" who were the first settlers of Maldives.[2]

Under the treaty Dom Manoel was restored but remained in Goa. The co-regents were Kateeb Mohamed Thakurufan of Utheem and his brother Hassan Thakurufan. The Kateeb conferred on himself the title of Sultan in 1583 upon Dom Manoel's death. This was in breach of the Treaty and was not legally binding.

Al-Amira Kuda Kalu Kamanafaanu acted as regent from 1607 until 1609.She was the daughter of Hassan Thakurufaan and Sitti Maryam Maavaa Kuda Kamanafaanu Rani Kilege, daughter of Sultan Ali VI, Sultan of the Maldives, by his wife, Princess Aisha Kabafa'anu, daughter of Sultan Kalu Mohamed[6] Hussain Faamuladeyri Kilege acted as regent from 1609 to 1620. Muhammad Imaduddin I acted as regent from 1620 to 1632. De-recognised in the Maldives after an abortive expedition with Portuguese assistance in order to abolish regency and assume power.

Muhammadh Shams al-Din (later Sultan Muhammadh Shams al-Din Iskandar II) seized the throne when Sultan Ghiyath al-Din was on Hajj.[9]Unaware of seizure of throne Ghiyath al-Din returned from Hajj and was killed during the reign of Huraa dynasty Sultan Muhammadh Mu'izz al-Din who is also known as Kalhu Bandaara. The last remaining heir of Dhiyamigili Prince Abdulla was banished to Fuvahmulah at the age of seven.[23]

According to the record in the Isdhoo Loamaafaanu (Maldivian:އިސްދޫ ލޯމާ ފާނު; copper plates), which was written in 1194, the first king of the Theemuge dynasty extended his rule to cover the entire Maldives. The writing suggests that the king united the entire country under his rule, bringing to an end a number of fiefdoms throughout the country. The first king of the Theemuge dynasty is known as Siri Mahabarana and he is believed to be Koimala Kalo. Sri Mahabarana was proclaimed king in the year 1117 or 1118. Other sources suggest that the Theemuge Dharikolhu was the new name of the Soma Vansa Lunar Dynastry after the conversion to Islam of King Dhovemi which lasted from c.1153 to c.1388. In this case King Dhovemi, the fifth king of the Lunar Dynastry became the first King of the Theemuge Dynastry.

Svasti Sri Somavamsa Adipati Sri Theemuge Sri Maha Parama Aditya Maha Radun [citation needed] became the first king to rule over the whole of Maldives after reclaiming the northern atolls from the Indian invaders.

The Chola Empire, often referred to as the Imperial Cholas, was a medieval thalassocratic empire established by Pottapi branch of the Chola dynasty that rose to prominence during the middle of the 9th century CE and successfully united southern India under their rule.

The power and the prestige the Cholas had among political powers in South, Southeast, and East Asia at its peak is evident through their expeditions to the Ganges, naval raids on cities of the Srivijaya Empire based on the island of Sumatra, and their repeated embassies to China. The Chola fleet represented the zenith of ancient Indian maritime capacity.

The Cholas established a centralized form of government and a disciplined bureaucracy. Moreover, their patronage of Tamil literature and their zeal for building temples has resulted in some of the greatest works of Tamil literature and architecture. The Chola kings were avid builders and envisioned the temples in their kingdoms not only as places of worship but also as centres of economic activity. A UNESCO world heritage site, the Brihadisvara temple at Thanjavur, commissioned by the Rajaraja in 1010, is a prime example for Chola architecture.

Officially known as the Republic of Maldives, the tropical nation is made up of a chain of about 1,192 coral islands in the Indian Ocean. The Maldives is located southwest of Sri Lanka and has a population of nearly 3.6 million. The country is famous for its white sand beaches, pristine lagoons, crystal clear water, and extensive coral reefs. The capital, Male, is characterized by busy fish markets, restaurants, and tourist hotels. Here are interesting facts about the Maldives.

For generations, the Maldives has been of great economic significance due to its strategic placement along important trade routes. The first inhabitants of the island came from India around 270 BC. It is believed that the first real form of governance was established in Maldives by Sri Soorudasaruna Adeettiya, a prince from an Indian kingdom. Legends claim that the king was so angry at his son that he deported him to the Maldives, which was then referred to as Dheeva Maari. Upon settling, the prince established the Adeetta Dynasty or the Solar Dynasty in the Maldives. It is reported that this dynasty came to an end when its princess married a prince from the Lunar Dynasty of Kalinga.

The Maldives includes more than 1,190 coral islands, which make up 26 atolls. Of these, only 200 are inhabited. The Archipelago enjoys beautiful location along the main Indian Ocean sea routes. The 26 Maldives atolls are part of a larger structure referred to as the Laccadives-Chagos Ridge, which stretches over 2,000 km.

The average ground level of the Maldives is 4 feet, or 1.5 meters above sea level. The highest point is in the Villingili Island at 7.5 feet. In the wake of climate change and the rising sea level, there are concerns the Maldives will flood and sink.

The Kingdom of Somavansha (990-1117), also called the Lunar Dynasty, was the second dynasty to rule the Maldives, after the Kingdom of Adityavansha. It lasted until 1117, when the Kingdom of Theemuge took power. The kingdom was a peaceful nation on the Maldivian islands on the Carnatican Coast to the southwest of India.

The Rothschild banking dynasty in Europe has agreed to help the Maldives towards its goal of carbon neutrality, following a meeting between President Mohamed Nasheed and Baron Benjamin and Baroness Ariane de Rothschild in their Genevan chateau.

The final report, expected at the end of 2010, will contain a detailed plan of how the Maldives can reach carbon neutrality by 2020. In the third phase, CTBR will then help the government secure international financing to build the wind farms, waste recycling plants and sustainable transport solutions suggested in the report.

Maldives need to find ways to develop its economy, increase the standard of living rather than securing funds to mitigate the environmental pollution. A small nation like Maldives is not affordable to spend these enormous investments. Even the developed nations such as US, and China is even not willing to comprise. Even if Maldives is carbon neutral, there wont be any significant positive effect due to its disproportinate due to its relative small size.

Just like Gayoom, when the going gets tough at home Nasheed heads overseas and gives some fancy speech or signs an agreement on environment protection... comes back home and encourages local fishermen to abandon environmentally friendly practices in favour of environmentally destructive longlining.

A special thanks to our President and Dr Shaheed for saving us atlast through your pact with the Rothschild dynasty, the so called "King of Jews". Who cares whether they have contributed to the suffereing of the Palestinans and aquired wealth through slave trade as reported by Reuters! As long as we get our fix, I mean money, we are happy.

As Zuhair says, its an absolute win-win to Maldives! I commend Foreign Minister Shaheed and President Nasheed for their tremendous work in securing new investments and establishing stronger partnerships within the Europe.
