Living in an island...

March 31, 2017 10:47am CST
I was born and brought up in little island in India calld Andaman and Nicobar. When i left my island to get an engineering degree to another state in India i got to know people have soooo many misconceptions about this littoe island. Now remember andaman is a part of India and everyone have studied about this little island in school too stilll i have been asked more then once ( by highly qualified profesors and olso employers of companies) if i require passport to travel from my island (in India) to there state( olso in India) . Now all i could do is just stare blankly back into their eyes. Not only this , on my practical viva i was once asked do we export food from India and i was like Andaman too is in India . This is a beautiful island which is one of the best tourism spot in India still it baffles me to see people still haven't heard about it.

I have heard of your island, though I'm not sure exactly where it is. I would expect other Indians to know about it though.

Don't let it get you down, the whole Philippines is made up of islands and it's a nation.

I remember having watched a documentary about the Andaman Islands. It was about the Jarawa Tribe.

Probably understandable if people from outside India would not know about it, but I'd think other Indians should know it's part of their country...

@Inspira3 Hey, I'm from the same country. I just live across the Bay of the Bengal, and I'm from Andhra Pradesh. Great to know someone is here from Andaman. Yes, I know and understand there are many misconceptions about Andaman.
