Hi everyone, today i will update you about Lakshadweep and its islands.
Lakshadweep islands were earlier called as "laccadives".
The word Lakshadweep means one hundred thousand islands, but i guess there are around 30 plus.
Among the islands, only ten are inhabited, the major ones being Kavaratti,Agatti,Androth and Minicoy.
Bangaram, an uninhabited island once had a resort which was recently shutdown due to legal issues.
Each of the major islands are about 4Sq.km each, other being considerably smaller.
Kavaratti is the capital of Lakshadweep islands.
The total population in Lakshadweep islands is about 65,000 and kavaratti island has a population of about 12,000 people with 40% being Non-islanders working here.
Language spoken is Malyalam, Hindi is understandable by about 50% of the population.
Here i am uploading a few pictures of the island
