The Maldives was occupied by Britain until the year 1965, when they decided to vacate and announce the Maldives as a free independent nation. On the 26th of July every year, the Independence day is celebrated by the people in the Maldives and is marked by parades, cultural programs and shows and again great food selections. This is best for those who are keen in history and evolution of countries and for foodies who wouldn’t miss a chance to devour some sumptuous food.
