History

Following the 1752 capture of Male' by the Ali Raja of Cannanore and his Malabari navy, Sultan Muhammad Imaduddin III of the Maldives was held captive on Kavaratti island in the Laccadives. Hussein Gadhahamaadhi Manikfan of Nolhivaramfaru is said to have aided Muleegey Dom Hassan Maniku in the fight against the invaders. They succeeded on 7 April 1753 and reclaimed the monarchy back to Maldivian rule.

gollark: Sure. However, I think it would be better if it didn't obligate you to take any job you're offered and do interviews etc. constantly.
