2. Andaman Island
The Andaman /ˈændəmən/ Islands are an archipelago in the
northeastern Indian Ocean about 130 km (81 mi) southwest off
the coasts of Myanmar's Ayeyarwady Region. Together with the
Nicobar Islands to their south, the Andamans serve as a maritime
boundary between the Bay of Bengal to the west and the
Andaman Sea to the east. Most of the islands are part of the
Andaman and Nicobar Islands, a Union Territory of India, while
the Coco Islands and Preparis Island are part of the Yangon
Region of Myanmar.

3. History :
Chola empire : Rajendra Chola II took over the Andaman and Nicobar Islands.[7]
He used the Andaman and Nicobar Islands as a strategic naval base to launch an
expedition against the Sriwijaya Empire. The Cholas called the island Ma-
Nakkavaram ("great open/naked land"), found in the Thanjavur inscription of 1050
AD. European traveller Marco Polo (12th–13th century) also referred to this island
as 'Necuverann' and a corrupted form of the Tamil name Nakkavaram would have
led to the modern name Nicobar during the British colonial period.

4. Japanese Occupation :The Andaman and Nicobar islands were occupied by
Japan during World War II.[21] The islands were nominally put under the
authority of the Arzi Hukumat-e-Azad Hind (Provisional Government of
Free India) headed by Subhas Chandra Bose, who visited the islands during
the war, and renamed them as Shaheed (Martyr) & Swaraj (Self-rule). On 30
December 1943, during the Japanese occupation, Bose, who was allied with
the Japanese, first raised the flag of Indian independence. General
Loganathan, of the Indian National Army, was Governor of the Andaman and
Nicobar Islands, which had been annexed to the Provisional Government.
According to Werner Gruhl: "Before leaving the islands, the Japanese
rounded up and executed 750 innocents."

5. Late 20th Century - 21st century : In November 2018, John Allen Chau, an
American missionary, traveled illegally with the help of local fishermen to
the North Sentinel Island off the Andaman Islands chain group on several
occasions, despite a travel ban to the island. He is reported to have been
killed.[26] Despite some relaxation introduced earlier in 2018 to the
stringent visit permit system for the islands, North Sentinel Island was still
highly protected from outside contact. Special permission to allow
researchers and anthropologists to visit could be sought.[27] Chau had no
special clearance, and knew that his visit was illegal.
Natural disasters : On 26 December 2004, the coast of the Andaman Islands
was devastated by a 10-metre-high (33 ft) tsunami following the 2004
Indian Ocean earthquake, which is the longest recorded earthquake, lasting
for between 500 and 600 seconds.[29] Strong oral traditions in the area
warned of the importance of moving inland after a quake and is credited
with saving many lives.[citation needed] In the aftermath, more than 2,000
people were confirmed dead and more than 4,000 children were orphaned
or had lost one parent. At least 40,000 residents were rendered homeless
and were moved to relief camps.[30] On 11 August 2009, a magnitude 7
earthquake struck near the Andaman Islands, causing a tsunami warning to
go into effect.

6. Geography :
The Andaman Archipelago is an oceanic continuation of the Burmese Arakan Yoma
range in the North and of the Indonesian Archipelago in the South. It has 325
islands which cover an area of 6,408 km2 (2,474 sq mi),[31] with the Andaman Sea
to the east between the islands and the coast of Burma.[10] North Andaman Island
is 285 kilometres (177 mi) south of Burma, although a few smaller Burmese islands
are closer, including the three Coco Islands.
The Ten Degree Channel separates the Andamans from the Nicobar Islands to the
south. The highest point is located in North Andaman Island (Saddle Peak at 732 m
(2,402 ft)).
The subsoil of the Andaman islands consists essentially of Late Jurassic to
Early Eocene ophiolites and sedimentary rocks (argillaceous and algal limestones),
deformed by numerous deep faults and thrusts with ultramafic igneous
intrusions.[32] There are at least 11 mud volcanoes on the islands.

7. Infrastructure :
Internet
Internet access on the islands used to be limited and unreliable, since all
connectivity to the outside world had to go through satellite links. Bharat
Broadband Network started work on laying a fibre optic submarine cable running
from the five islands to Chennai on 30 December 2018, with completion expected in
December 2019.[47][48] On 10 August 2020, PM Narendra Modi formally
inaugurated the Chennai–Andaman undersea Optical fibre cable which enables
high-speed broadband connections in the Union Territory. The submarine cable also
connects Port Blair to Swaraj Dweep, Little Andaman, Car Nicobar, Kamorta, Great
Nicobar, Long Island and Rangat.[49] The initial bandwidth of the cable is
400 Gbit/s, roughly 400 times more than what the islands possessed before the fibre
link.[50][51]
Ports
On 10 August 2020, PM Narendra Modi announced plans for the construction of a
transshipment port in the Great Nicobar Island at a cost of ₹10,000 crore to provide
shippers an alternative to similar ports in the region. The move is aimed at
improving the ease of doing business of the country and enhancing maritime
logistics.

8. Transportation
The only civil airport of the Andaman and Nicobar
Islands is Veer Savarkar International Airport near Port
Blair. It has regular flights to Chennai, Kolkata, New
Delhi, Bangalore, and Visakhapatnam. From 2016
onwards, night flights were also operated along with the
day flights.
Another mode of transport is ship which has routes
