Dakshin Bhartiya Empire, Andaman and Nicobar Islands, Indian Ocean.
|| 1655 Vedic Calendar, three months and two weeks after the New Year ||
While the war was ongoing in the empire against the Ottomans, the island at the edge of the Bengal Sea was not free as it had battles of its own. After conquering the Andaman and Nicobar Islands, the old ships of the Bharatiya Empire were stationed there for protection. Additionally, with the help of these ships, the Nicobar Islands in the south were also conquered.
The Nicobar Islands were more spread out than the Andaman Islands, hence requiring a lot of naval operations. Fortunately, even though the boats of the Bharatiya Empire used in these battles were old, they were enough to fight against the tribals living in the Nicobar Islands. The same scenario witnessed in the Andaman Islands occurred; tribes with common cultures and interests were brought together, while those found incompatible were erased from the islands.
