Answer 2

Discuss importance of Andaman and Nicobar and Lakshadweep Island in the context of the Indian Navy.

• Two natural sentinels for India's east and west are Lakshadweep and the Andaman & Nicobar Islands. They are two potential locations for building naval facilities and two virtual aircraft carriers.
• They are crucial for India's strategic interests due to their location, which crosses key maritime passages. The Bay of Bengal and the neighbouring Andaman Sea are unquestionably crucial for peninsular India's strategic manoeuvres and maritime strength because they are the shared maritime space between India and Southeast Asia.
• ANI might also play a significant role in India's "Act East Policy," which aims to interact with nations in the region to India's east. The island chain of the Andaman and Nicobar might also be the foundation for Indian maritime power projection into the Indo-Pacific and even further into the south-west Pacific.
• India's military forces have bases on the Andaman and Nicobar Islands where they keep watch over its interests in Southeast Asia and the Strait of Malacca. The logistical and administrative facilities from these stations are taken by Indian naval vessels stationed there.
• The Andaman & Nicobar Islands are a collection of 572 islands that are located in the Bay of Bengal to the west and the Andaman Sea to the east. Ten Degree Channel divides the Andaman Islands from the Nicobar Islands, whose capital is Port Blair.
• Three kinds of marine turtles, including the Leatherback, the largest sea turtle in the world, and the Hawksbill nest on some of India's loveliest beaches in the Andaman and Nicobar Islands (Dermocheleys Coriacea).
