The Malami, also spelled Malmi, are a traditional seafaring community associated with the Lakshadweep Islands. Their traditional occupation, social life and cultural practices are closely connected with the sea. Lakshadweep consists of small coral islands and has historically depended heavily on fishing, navigation and maritime trade. In this environment, the Malami developed as skilled sailors and boatmen who played an important role in the economic and social life of the islands. The Malami traditionally worked as crew members and navigators on sailing vessels. They possessed considerable knowledge of the sea, winds, currents, reefs and seasonal changes in weather. Such knowledge was particularly important because travelling between the islands and maintaining contact with the mainland involved considerable risks.
