The
Laccadive Islands, renamed Lakshadweep in 1973, are located in the Arabian
Sea, just off the coast of Kerala. Of the 36 coral islands covering a land
area of 32 sq. km, only ten are inhabited by simple folk whose language is
close to that spoken in Kerala.(Malayalam). They are, in descending order of
size, Minicoy, Andrott, Kavaratti, Kadmat, Agatti, Amini, Kalpeni, Kiltan,
Chetlat and Bitra. The islanders have lifestyles and occupations that
revolve around coconut cultivation, coir matting and fishing. Even today,
nothing is actually produced on the islands themselves, and everything comes
from the 'mainland', as India is somewhat quaintly referred to there. One of
the smallest Union Territories, the Lakshadweep coral islands are one of the
country's newest tourist destinations. Tourism's major focus is on water
sports, as each of the islands are surrounded by a coral reef providing
large areas of crystal clear water for everything from swimming and
snorkelling, to fishing, wind surfing, and sailing in glass-bottomed boats.
