| Summary / Abstract (Note) | India has a vast coast line and has a rich maritime history which dates back to pre-Harappa period. By virtue of lndia's geographical location on the global map and specifically its strategic location in the Indian Ocean, makes India a subcontinent in itself. The Andaman & Nicobar Islands are a group of islands located east of India in the Bay of Bengal, and possess a wide area of thick dense forest and white beaches. Although little is known about the islands during the ancient period, but there is evidence to suggest that these islands have been inhabited for more than three thousand years. |
