	Description:		The pristine Andaman and Nicobar islands lie in splendid isolation over 750 kms in the Bay of Bengal, and have a chequered history. After lying unclaimed for centuries, they were colonized by the British for over 150 years and briefly by the Japanese during World War II. But before all this, the islands have been the abode of six indigenous tribes, who have lived here since times immemorial. These tribal groups are in various stages of acculturation into the mainstream, and barring the Nicobarese, are classified as ‘Particularly Vulnerable Tribal Groups – PVTGs’.
