The Maldives is a central Indian Ocean archipelago of coral atolls that was Islamised in the mid-sixth/twelfth century. Early sources describe abrupt political and economic transformations as institutional Buddhism was abolished and mosques built on royal endowments across several islands during the sixth/twelfth century. Over the centuries that followed, integration into trans-regional Muslim circulations of commerce and culture facilitated the consolidation of a strong sense of Islamic identity amongst the population. Today, citizenship in the modern Republic of the Maldives is constitutionally limited to Muslims. 1.
