Overview

The Andaman and Nicobar Islands, a group of 572 islands, located in the Bay of Bengal, form a beautiful canvas of vivid colours. A paradisiacal landscape, the islands are blessed with unique tropical rainforests, varieties of forest animals, exotic sea beaches and exclusive tourist attractions. The Great Nicobar Island helps us understand how Andaman and Nicobar Islands, in general, and Great Nicobar, in particular, can be a keystone of India’s strategic and development trajectory. It also describes the fascinating collection of the exotic flora and fauna of the island and discusses the identity and tradition of the Nicobarese and Shompen tribes. Author Rehan Raza accounts his journey to Indira Point, Navy Dera, Mount Thullier, Galathea, Makachua and Afra Bay and thus parts of the book read like a delightful travelogue. In a personal account, Raza captures the ordeals of the tsunami survivors and the efforts made by the administration in the aftermath. A treasure of information, this book will be of immense value to scholars, strategic experts, bureaucrats and tourists visiting the islands.
