Over the years, during my travels, I have
repeatedly felt that every place has a unique vibration
associated with it and that those vibratory waves interact with the
consciousness of each traveller in a
unique way. It is because of such unique alchemy between a place and a
traveller that at some places
the traveller, because of no explainable reason, finds a remarkable sense
of peace, calm, harmony and equanimity, whereas at some other place, he gets
a sense of gloom, restlessness and an unfathomable feeling of unease .
For most of the ‘outside’ world, the Andaman and Nicobar Islands are exotic
lands of pristine white
beaches and blue skies—an ideal vacation hotspot. But as the protagonist of
the book travels through
these islands for his research project and meets and converses with diverse
people, the myriad unique
stories of these islands start taking shape—the forgotten stories of the
‘original’ indigenous tribes, of the colonial British as well as other
European powers, of the Indian freedom fighters incarcerated here, the
stories of Japanese ‘occupation’ during the Second World War, the stories of
the so-called ‘Local Borns’, the waves upon waves of migration, the stories
of the Nicobarese Bishop and the Gujarati business family, of the local
‘Rani’ and finally the nightmarishly tragic story of the Tsunami of 2004.
Andamanush Nicobarese is a travelogue and novel rolled into one,
where the lines between reality and imagination no longer matter.
