What is the longitudinal and latitudinal extent of andaman and nicobar and lakshadweep islands?

How do people of Andaman and Nicobar Islands and Lakshadweep feel when they are occasionally excluded from the Indian map?

  • Answer:

    What sense does this question make?? If you mean they're "excluded" on a small-er scale printed map, then it's simply because you can't fit something that is closer geographically to Thailand, than it is to India, on such a map. And on a large scale map, Lakshadweep is just too small a band of islets to really register. It's shown simply by text in most cases.. There's no "exclusion" anywhere. EDIT : I stand corrected. No justification for A&N to be excluded anywhere on a map given its geographical location.

I don't feel anything at all..because quite frankly I am used to it by now...the only thing which really pisses me is when people ask..if I need a visa or passport to visit mainland India.

We feel sorry for the ignorance level of the person/agency excluding us from India.

This has been a question raised by many.  Our founders(Awez Khan) history dates back before 1942 when India was struggling for Independence. The last known contact, is a letter from an uncle from Saharanpur, Uttar Pradesh(A state in India). Since, 1946 we have no traces about where our family is. Some say they were killed in riots during partition, some say they live in Pakistan and many more stories as usual. The founder is still in lookout to find the roots. You will find many local people are tagged as Pre 42 in their islander cards. This means that they were in the islands before 1942. Now, we never felt to move out to the mainland except to get higher education as there are no good colleges in the islands. One of our founder is an NIT Durgapur passed out(One of India's leading colleges). Many settlers in Havelock Island are from Bangladesh. These people were given settlements during the East India Partition. We once asked a settler in the Havelock Island, "How do you feel in this island?" He said, I never felt like going back to Bangladesh or even Kolkata, which supposedly is the first choice for any Bangladeshi migrant. Its obviously a decision, for the people of the islands who went out in search of better livelihood, after all what matters is peace and happiness. Well, now a question to the people in the mainland from the developed countries such as UK, USA etc... How is it to live in a developing nation? Don't you feel you are not given enough rights to express?
