The Portuguese establish themselves in 1558 on Maldives, which they administer from Goa on India's west coast.
Fifteen years later, a local guerrilla leader named Muhammad Thakurufaan organizes a popular revolt and drives the Portuguese out of Maldives.
This event is now commemorated as National Day, and a small museum and memorial center honor the hero on his home island of Utim in South Tiladummati Atoll.
