    1 Answer

    1. India’s two main island groups are:

      1. Andaman and Nicobar Islands in the Bay of Bengal – a chain of over 500 volcanic islands with dense forests, unique tribes and coral reefs.
      2. Lakshadweep Islands in the Arabian Sea – a coral atoll archipelago consisting of 36 islands, mostly uninhabited.
        These islands are important for biodiversity, defense, tourism and marine resources. Their remote locations also give India strategic control over large areas of the surrounding oceans.
