Is Minicoy, Lakshadweep better than Maldives???

- Minicoy is the southernmost island of Lakshadweep where the culture is inherently Maldivian. The most beautiful and the most blue waters here.
It has India's oldest lighthouse built in 1885 and recently alcohol is being served on this island so tipplers rejoice!!

Nice video bro
Also you mentioned after marriage the boy stays at girls house, that culture is very common in Maldives also.. usually girls don’t go to the in-laws house after marriage rather it’s the other way around
Yeah this is the trend in minicoy. But minicoy and lakshadweep travel is banned. One has to go via mainland. There are no passport control in these islands
@@travelwithsounak because INDIA didn’t officially declare the island as a state of India, rather its in the union territory. After taking the island from Maldives back in 1970s they never put enough resources to improve the transportation and infrastructure of the island. However, as times passed by the strong influence of south India has been embedded into the islanders.
@@iffathrasheed8593 but not all islands are dhivehi. Malayalam does form the main language in Northern islands. Those close to beypore cannnanore and Kozhikode in Kerala
@@iffathrasheed8593 you appear to be making up history as you go.
Until the 16th Century, the Laccadives appear to have been under the suzerainty of the Kolthari Raja of Chirakkal in what is now the Indian state of Kerala. With the Portuguese ascendancy in the region, it became necessary for the Kolthari to transfer sovereignty of the islands to their hereditary admiral, the Ali Raja of Cannanore. It is unclear if Minicoy was included in this transfer or if in fact Minicoy ever formed part of the dominions of the Kolthari. There was ambiguity over who held sovereign power over Minicoy. The Maldive kings assumed they did and the British assumed that the Kolthari did. So there was an apparent dispute over sovereignty.
On December 18, 1790 Minicoy was surrendered to the Court of Directors of the English East India Company by the Ali Raja of Cannanore, Junumabe Ali-Adi Raja Bibi II (also known to the British as the Bibi of Cannanore). The Bibi, namely, the Ali Raja was allowed to administer Minicoy in return for a tribute to the East India Company. She continued to dispute the transfer of sovereignty but in 1824, her successor, Mariambe Ali-Adi Raja Bibi made a formal written recognition of the suzerainty of the East India Company over Minicoy. She and her successors, however, continued the tributary arrangement.
On 27 July 1795, the Governor General of the Presidency of Madras under whose jurisdiction Minicoy was by that time, abolished Junumabe Ali Adi-Raja Bibi's coir monopoly. This was the beginning of the end of the Ali Raja's real control over Minicoy.
In 1857, suzerainty over Minicoy transferred from the East India Company to the Indian Empire when Queen Victoria was proclaimed Queen of India, and in 1877, she was proclaimed Empress of India.
In 1905 under the heavy burden of debts to the Empire, Mohamed Ali-Adi Raja agreed to surrender sovereignty and control over Minicoy. He died before the formal transfer. After an attempt to back track, his successor Imbicchi Ali-Adi Raja Bibi finally signed over Minicoy to the Emperor Edward VII on 9 February 1909, back dated to 1 July 1905. Following this, Minicoy was annexed to the District of Malabar.
So, it appeared that Minicoy was not formally a part of the dominions of the Sultan of the Maldives. However, this was not fully established in International Law. The Indian authorities assumed that they did not control Minicoy, because the Light House in Minicoy was still under the authority of the British Crown, exercised by the High Commissioner in Colombo. Minicoy Islanders were permitted to travel to and from the Maldives without passport control as were Maldivians permitted to travel to and from Minicoy as if it were another island in the Maldives. Minicoy islanders came and left Male in their boats and intermarried with locals as if they were subjects of the Sultan of the Maldives.
Then suddenly, in 1956, the Indian navy turned up in gun boats and held an alleged referendum unannounced. Before they left they declared that the people of Minicoy had voted to join India. There were no international moderators. It appeared to be a common land-grab executed by common pirates who happened to be in Indian naval uniforms. An international border was arbitrarily slapped by India across the Eight Degree Channel where none existed before. Maldivians were barred from crossing that border and Minicoy islanders were barred from crossing in the opposite direction. Many families were separated and stranded in this Indian landgrab. I personally; I mean very personally, know some of these families.
It was a good read accurate till the last stanza. Suddenly this gun boat and pirates story. I am asking you please provide proof..
I'm not sure why you have even mentioned the Maldives in the heading. The Laccadive, Minicoy and Amindivi Islands, currently, are like what the Maldives was in historical descriptions, of the 16th century. The only similarity is that the people of Minicoy (as opposed to the Laccadive and Amindivi Islands) still speak and write the Maldive language and have strong, enduring and close, family connections in the Maldives.
Yes the dhivehi language was used extensively and i read about the history
@@travelwithsounak on Minicoy island, Divehi is still the native language, in spite of the best efforts of the Indian colonial authorities to replace it.
@@Christian_Paul_nz I don't see why would anyone want to replace it. Malayalam on other islands and dhivehi in minicoy.. that's thriving and they have newspapers also
@@travelwithsounak the language of instruction at schools in Minicoy is Malayalam, and not the island's native Divehi. Your Indian colonial authorities are doing their best to eradicate the indigenous culture of the Minicoy islanders.
@@Christian_Paul_nz Just like Buddhism was wiped-out from Maldives.
Can you please tell the package price
For ship around 40k
Yary Nice
Hi bro Can u explain about how.uch it cost for ship from Kozhikode or kochi to minicoy
I hsve a vlog on this see the previous one . Ship is from kochi only

❤❤❤
But Minicoy Aka Maliku is a Maldivian island. We have our brothers and sisters there who speaks dhivehi language.
It's part of India now. But the culture is dhivehi..
@@travelwithsounak it can be worth power. But the lineage, the connection we feel for them will never change. So even if Tourism boosts in those islands they truly deserve it and they truly deserve the fame they never got.

@@iffathrasheed8593 you must be Maldivian. This row which is happening is a small one on a diplomatic level. Give it 2 months it will all be forgotten and all Indians will go to Maldives again. No big deal. But due to this if our own territory gets the recognition what's bad in that. But I admit the lakshadweep infrastructure is nowhere near Maldives. Lot of hotels in Maldives and entirely tourism . To be that india will have to invest but in a environmentally sensible way
@@travelwithsounak Indians are still visiting… even yesterday Hulhumale beach was full of Indians and they were roaming around and clicking pics freely … also yes Lakshadweep should get it’s fair share of recognition and delayed development… we don’t have any hatred for Indians or the islanders of Lakshadweep
:)
Thanks Bhai!
As usual women complaining about transportation jeep instead of telling about minicoy..they won't stop complaining even though they go to mars
