Question

why do think the British found the Andaman and Nicobar Island an ideal place to keep Indian convicts ?

Answer 1

During the revolt of 1857 a large number of freedom fighters were arrested .The British authority found it  difficult to accommodate all of them in the mainland jails. Therefore the British Rulers thought of a Jail which should be far away from the Mainland and also  it should be surrounded by Sea water. While thinking of such type of jail, they found Andaman and Nicobar Islands as the best place to make a jail as in addition to being far away from the mainland, the island was surrounded by water which would make it difficult for the prisoners to escape.
