Maldives Culture Though performances of traditional music and dance are not everyday events, there is a contemporary Divehi culture which is strong and adaptive, despite foreign influences which range from Hindi movies and Oriental martial arts to Michael Jackson and Muslim fundamentalism. Western fashions, pop music and videos are visible in the capital, but on public occasions, like the beginning and end of Ramadan, the celebrations always have a distinctly Maldivian touch. There are three daily newspapers and several magazines in the unique national language, rock bands who sing Divehi lyrics, and multi-storey buildings which echo the architecture of Maldivian island houses. A bodu beru Islam is the national religion and all Maldivians are Sunni Muslims. No other religions are permitted, though ancient beliefs survive: for example, islanders fear jinnis - evil spirits which come from the sea, land and sky. These are blamed for everything that cannot be explained by religion or science. Fish and rice are the staple foods of Maldivians with meat and chicken eaten only on special occasions. National dishes include fried fish, fish curry and fish soup. Arecanut (an oval nut chewed with betel leaf, cloves and lime) is the equivalent of an after-dinner mint. Alcohol is only available in tourist resorts. The local brew is raa , a sweet and delicious toddy tapped from the crown of the palm trunk. Apart from coconuts, there are very few fruits and vegetables grown on the islands, so most of the food served at tourist resorts is imported.

iWon Travel Asia Maldives Powered by HISTORY and CULTURE History Culture History The first inhabitants probably arrived in the archipelago from Ceylon (Sri Lanka) and southern India before 500 BC. One theory is that the islands were at the trading crossroads of several maritime nations as early as 2000 BC. Maldivians believe that an ancient race of sun-worshipping people called the Redin were the first settlers, and left a heritage of beliefs and customs involving evil spirits, or jinnis , still evident today. The Redin left around 500 BC or were absorbed by Buddhists from Ceylon and by Hindus from India. Because building materials were limited, each group built its important structures on top of those left by previous inhabitants. This is why many Maldivian mosques are oriented towards the sun and not Mecca. Arab traders en route to the Far East recorded visits to the Maldives from the 2nd century AD. Known as the 'Money Isles', they provided enormous quantities of cowrie shells, an international currency of the early ages. The sultanate became an elected rather than a hereditary position when the islands' first constitution was drawn up in 1932. In 1953 the sultanate was abolished and a republic proclaimed with Amin Didi as the first president. Less than a year later Didi was overthrown; the sultanate was returned with Mohammed Farid Didi elected as the 94th sultan of the Maldives. Around the same time, the British secured permission to re-establish its wartime airfield on Addu Atoll in the far south of the country. In 1956 the Royal Air Force began developing the base as a staging post, employing hundreds of Maldivians and undertaking the resettlement of the Gan islanders. But when Ibrahim Nasir was elected prime minister in 1957 he immediately called for a review of the agreement, demanding that the lease be shortened and the annual payment increased.

Maldive Islands Location History Government Economy Maldivians are very peaceful and hospitable. In this small nation over 200,000 people live, with approximately 70,000 of them on the capital city of Male. Male is a mixture of traditional and modern culture. The older generation clings to their way of life and the younger generation embraces western trends that are evident in their dress and music. The divorce rate is one of the highest in the world at approximately 80%. It is not uncommon to see a person married several times before they are 25 years of age. Women are not as restricted as those in other Muslim countries. They are allowed to serve in the military and hold prominent jobs. Women are not required to wear the head to toe burke; however some of the more devout women choose to wear a head covering. All natives have access to education. Most school children are taught English as well as their native language of Dhivehi. Because of this most Maldivians can speak, read and write in English.
