The Republic of Maldives is an island nation consisting of a group of atolls in the Indian Ocean , south-southwest of India , about 700 kilometers south-west of Sri Lanka . The 26 atolls encompass a territory featuring 1,192 islets, roughly 200 of which are inhabited by people.

Following the introduction of Islam in 1153 , the islands later became a Portuguese ( 1558 ), Dutch ( 1654 ), and British ( 1796 ) colonial possession. In 1965 , Maldives declared its independence from Britain , and in 1968 the Sultanate was replaced by a Republic . |
