Maldives current affairs, culture and social issues. Saturday, January 31, 2009. Election Fever Rising Once Again. On the other hand, the ruling MDP has preferred ordinary persons close to the electorate. These candidates may not be rich and famous nationally, but they are quite popular in their own constituencies. As of today, it's too early to predict the outcome of this contest between two opposing philosophies. Watch this space. Monday, January 26, 2009. Towards a pragmatic approach to crime. At curr...

Maldives current affairs, culture and social issues. Thursday, June 23, 2011. MDP does not have any factional fights, or does it? The drama raises eyebrows for several reasons. For one, how did the National Council (which meets rarely) hold a meeting so suddenly? More importantly who organized the booing against Imthiyaz’s chairing the meeting? Why was Reeko selected for the post when he himself is a candidate for the permanent post of Chairperson? Labels: Dr. Didi. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Maldives current affairs, culture and social issues. Wednesday, February 25, 2009. Need for Research on National Day. While the Maldives celebrates its National Day in relation to the legendary exploits of Mohammed Thakurufaanu against Andhiri Andhirin, we know next to nothing about the history of the period. Most of what is taken today as history really comes from an oral tradition handed down from generation to generation and last narrated by Burara Mohammed Fulhu in the mid 20. Why did Mohammed Thakur...

Maldives current affairs, culture and social issues. Tuesday, March 31, 2009.
