and Nicobar Islands is an archipelago of over 300 islands, a majority
of which is uninhabited. Coral reefs, sandy beaches and clear water
surround the islands. The British used the islands in the 19th century,
mainly for imprisoning Indian freedom fighters in the 'cellular jail'.
The climate in the Andaman and Nicobar is tropical. The native people
of these islands are of Negroid and Monogloid stocks.

LAKSHADWEEP ISLANDS

Located
in the Arabian Sea off the southeastern coast of India, the charm
of Lakshadweep Islands lies in their remoteness. Each island is
densely covered with coconut palms, and serenely set in a sea,
the waters of which range from palest aquamarine and turquoise,
to deepest sapphire and lapis lazuli. The Lakshadweep islands
are India's only coral islands. The coral here is shaped like a
ring and encircles a staggeringly beautiful emerald-blue lagoon.
Agatti has one of the most beautiful lagoons in Lakshadweep;
Bangaram is Teardrop shaped.
