It\u2019s exactly the kind of feel-good statement you\u2019d expect a politician facing a re-election campaign to make, though I genuinely wonder if the PM would allow missile launches into a semi-deserted stretch of Delhi like the BrahMos missiles in Nicobar. <\/span>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cWhat land but the most wasted could be used as a target for testing of the BrahMos?\u201d writes Pankaj Sekhsaria, a researcher at the Department of Humanities and Social Sciences from <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.arre.co.in\/doodle\/sanskrit-science-iit\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">IIT<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">-Delhi, who has authored two books on the archipelago. The BrahMos launch was one among many security trials that have been carried out in the Nicobars, much to the worry of environmentalists. <\/span>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As a part of his visit, Modi continued the renaming trend popularised by his party \u2013 the islands Ross, Neil, and Havelock will now be officially called Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose Dweep, Shaheed Dweep, and Swaraj Dweep respectively, to mark <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.arre.co.in\/politics\/quit-india-movement-mahatma-gandhi-dunkirk-world-war\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">75 years<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> of the Indian tricolour, hoisted by Bose in Port Blair. The choice of names is no accident. Bose and the Swarajya and Swadeshi movements all have indelible associations with the Independence movement, and it is quite a coup for the ruling government to be seen to be associated with these terms, which were traditionally linked to the Grand Old Party.<\/span>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This renaming has precedence, of course. In May 2002, the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.arre.co.in\/people\/farewell-atal-bihari-vajpayee-the-pm-who-brought-poetry-to-indian-politics\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Vajpayee<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> government renamed Port Blair\u2019s airport after Veer Savarkar, who is often credited with creating Hindutva and a freedom fighter imprisoned in the Cellular Jail during the British Raj. In fact, the name \u201cAndaman\u201d itself some say is derived from the word \u201cHanuman\u201d and according to believers of mythology, the God landed on the island on his way to Lanka. However, there are multiple possible variants for the name, including \u201cAngaman\u201d and \u201cAndaban\u201d referred to by the ancient Roman Ptolemy and Chinese I\u2019T Sing respectively, which have been left out in the popular narrative. <\/span>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But for us, it doesn\u2019t really matter. We mainlanders have been handed the islands as an exotic tourist destination on a platter. There is a convenient package of national fervour, clear coral beaches, and warm Tamil or <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.arre.co.in\/grub\/indigestion-bengalis-digene-calcutta\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Bengali cuisine<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> waiting for us. There are rides through \u201cJarawa-infested\u201d sanctuaries, and Jarawa fridge magnets to take home as souvenirs. <\/span>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.arre.co.in\/pov\/andaman-sentinelese-john-lang-chau-killing\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Andaman &#038; Nicobar islands<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> are a part of the Indian imagination only when we need to go on holidays. We dimly remember that the 2004 Tsunami killed nearly 3,500 people in the islands, out of which 2,800 were indigenous Nicobarese. We don\u2019t know that the Nicobar islands are often used as missile targets by the Indian security forces. We have not realised that there has been a growing military presence in the islands, consequently destroying the extremely fragile ecological balance of this unique biosphere. We don\u2019t want to accept that we are responsible for the systematic decimation of the indigenous population. <\/span>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The truth is, this washed-out waterscape far away from all centres of power on the mainland is nothing more than a security and economic adjunct to the nation-state. <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.arre.co.in\/outdoors\/indian-tourist-international-travel-abroad-tourism\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Tourism<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is of course a lucrative front and tens of crores have been poured blindly into the region without regard for persistent problems like that of scarcity of drinking water, poor connectivity, and lack of medical aid for the locals. <\/span>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The PM announced a number of development projects that have been on the table for a while, including a submarine optical fibre cable between <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.arre.co.in\/pov\/chennai-smoking-ladies-cafe-cigarettes\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Chennai <\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">and Port Blair, a seven-megawatt solar power plant, a model solar village, and a State Wide Area Network (SWAN) project connecting 12 major islands. <\/span>\n\n<blockquote class=\"quote--center\"><p>The Andaman &#038; Nicobar islands are at best an oddity forced onto the consciousness of the subcontinent.<\/p><\/blockquote> \n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">All this rampant development rumbles on unabated, while we barely understand the fragile, protected ecosystem of the archipelago. Yet, one dare not comment on either the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.arre.co.in\/humour\/before-changing-agras-name-decide-universal-spelling-of-agarwal\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">renaming spree<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, or the rapid and uncontemplated developmental projects that the government is sanctioning, because then you would be branded an anti-national. But honestly do we mainlanders really care? For us the renaming of the islands is similar to the insurgency in Manipur, something we express outrage over only to garner social media points. <\/span>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When I left the Andamans on December 29, a day before the PM\u2019s visit, the islands were in a blockade, standing still with internet jammers and hotels pre-booked to the last room for a whole set of VIPs being flown in. On our way to the airport, our driver said something about Modi\u2019s visit. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">My <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.arre.co.in\/gender\/my-feminist-grandmother\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">grandmother <\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">cut him off mid-sentence to say, \u201cModi nahi, Modi<\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">ji<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> boliye, woh humare Prime Minister hain.\u201d The man was silent for a second and from there on, he made a point to add the prefix ji each time he mentioned the PM. This is exactly how mainland Indians can impose their nationalism on a population that barely feels the comforting presence of a welfare state above it. \u00a0<\/span>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Everywhere we went, the presence of India was a reassuring imposition on the tourists and the settlers, as if the government had created a sanctified haven for the mainlanders to fly to. \u201cThe colourful corals of various kinds and the aboriginal <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.arre.co.in\/people\/arrests-intimidation-torture-indias-formerly-criminal-tribes-bawaria\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">tribes<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> of these islands have been a haunting pleasure for the tourists,\u201d writes Baban Phaley, the author of <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Andaman and Nicobar Islands: The Land Of Martyrs and General Knowledge<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. And he might as well be right. <\/span>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Andaman &#038; Nicobar islands are at best an oddity forced onto the consciousness of the subcontinent. The archipelago\u2019s geopolitical location makes it an ideal security and trade post, and its exoticism makes it ideal for vacations for the mainlanders. However, as a part of the nation of India, it receives only irresponsibility, forgetfulness, and <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.arre.co.in\/pov\/half-liberal-privileged-woke-millennials\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">exploitation<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. <\/span>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It is as if the former penal colony was left as a bonus encash-at-will cheque for the people of India. And in one of history\u2019s saddest footnotes, the people who have lived there for nearly 40,000 years are commodities in that transaction as well. <\/span>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Andaman &#038; Nicobar islands are at best an oddity forced onto the consciousness of us mainlanders.
