Reviews Thinadhoo
Thinadhoo can be described as capital of ‘Gaafu Dhaalu Atoll’. Moreover, it’s proposed capital with regards to Maldives’ Medhu-Dhekunu province. This place has Dhivehi dialect of its own; which seems to be drastically different as compared to mid-Maldivian and northern speech.
This island had primarily been known as ‘Havaru Thinadhoo’. Also, it had been conventional seat with respect to Huvadhu Atoll Chief. Literal meaning of ‘Havaru’ is ‘Military’.
In the year 1962, Havaru Thinadhoo got fully destroyed as per orders issued by Ibrahim Nasir, the then Prime Minister. The objective was to put an end to United Suvadive Republic’s separatist movement. The resettlement, however, took place in the year 1966 on 22nd of August by around 1800 people. Reconstruction of around 440 households took place.
On 27th of June, 1979, this island was renamed ‘Thinadhoo’.
