Dark Truths; The Sex Gods!

via Thadu

The roads paved, buildings erected, harbors completed, we see a beautiful Male’. The islands, though, a bit behind compared to Male’, are developing and life styles changing towards a modern direction. Transportation systems established, communication systems fantastic, we are living a generally cool life. And several of us rarely think about who we are. The Maldives that we see today: only a few think about its past. The cultures that we practice, the dances that we call Maldivian: only a few think about the origins of these cultures and practices. We are a country who is in the debate of gender equity, human rights, atheism, liberation, secularism, etc. and only a few of us reflect how this country was in the past.

History is in fact one of the most important aspect that could explain the current conditions of a country, and it in fact could be the most important subject that could determine the future of a country. In other words, where we are today and where we are moving towards could be explained easily and more fluently if we know our history, the history of the Maldives.

Today’s hot topics include differences in religious views, equity, secularism, and sexual aspects etc. and all are mostly related to beliefs. In history, we are taught that the Maldives was a Buddhist country. And of course there are several Buddhist temples that are been found and protected as historical places. However within these facts that are been revealed, there are several hidden facts; facts that only a few historians knows. It might be because the people of this country have no interest in history, such facts don’t surface. Or we are not having any interest in history because the people who control us do not want us to have any interest in history.

Could it be a conspiracy or a truth, a new idol has been revealed in the Maldives that brings a whole new chapter to what we know about us! It is in the blood of several Maldivians, the homosexual genes. We know this, with the freedom we have gained; more and more of such are expressing themselves, their feelings and their needs, in writing and spoken. Who actually asks the question, ‘why so?’ Maldives labeled as a 100% Muslim country, should portray a much more Islamic culture. And in our blood should be piousness! Such questions could be answered by looking into our own history. We have some cultural activities that are similar to those of Buddhists obviously because in the past Maldives was a Buddhist country as written in the history.

And if the idol that was discovered recently is a truth, it might explain a lot about the sexual cultures of the Maldives. The idol supposedly was not an ordinary statue of the Buddha but was the statue of a ‘fertility god’. Those who have the slightest interest in cultures and religions would certainly know how a ‘god of fertility’ looks like. This perhaps is evidence that at a time Maldivians worshipped the ‘god of fertility’ and hence had experienced bi-sex and fulfilled homosexual desires.

But unfortunately such information is been withheld from public knowledge. And even to those who seek to find the truths, it is a tough task to get a grip on the dark history of the Maldives. And like Napoleon once said, ‘What is history, but a fable agreed upon?’ The history that we are shown is only about the battles fought and won and the falsified stories of ‘Rannamaari’, ‘Handi Ganduvaru Dhonkama’, ‘Foolhu Dhigu Handi’ etc.!
