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.

A career civil servant and an author, Partha Sarthi Sen Sharma, has been gathering ‘experiences and memories’ over the years, weaving them with the imagination and narrating stories in the form of travelogues and novels. Apart from his two novels, Love Side by Side and Lucknow Diaries: Of Love and Longing, and his two travelogues, A Passage across Europe and Every Mile a Memory, he has written numerous articles, mainly travel pieces, for The Times of India, Hindustan Times, The Indian Express, The Pioneer, Rail Bandhu and Discover India.
Besides being an IAS officer and a writer, he is a sports enthusiast, a voracious reader and an avid traveller.
