How did the Maldives, once shaped by Hindu-Buddhist traditions, become a 100% Muslim country? This episode of Tarikh explores the fascinating history of the Maldives before Islam, from Buddhist stupas and monasteries to Hindu artifacts and ancient coral ruins. We trace the story of King Dhovemi, who converted to Islam in 1153 CE, and the legendary tale of Abu al-Barakat, Rannamari and Ibn Battuta. We also examine Harry Charles Purvis Bell’s archaeological discoveries, Mahayana and Vajrayana influences, Indian and Sri Lankan connections, ancient trade routes, cowrie shells, and copper plate records describing the transition from Buddhism to Islam. Discover the hidden Hindu-Buddhist history of the Maldives.
