These islands should've been part of Indonesia or Thailand.
>>217642404fuck it
>>217642404they were first discovered by the indian chola empire in the 11th century. The word "nicobar" is a corruption of the original tamil name meaning 'great naked land'. The cholas are why it's part of india
>>217642456>tamilSo not by Indians
>>217642404they are a part of true India though.
>>217642404They should never legally enter asean, indian should expand their stinky border aswell
>>217642404You mean Myanmar
>>217642456They're part of India because of Brits.>>217642955Myanmar is poor. I want what's best for the ppl of the islands.
>>217642968they went to india because they were considered part of the wider indian subcontinent for a very long time. Various kingdoms ocassionaly built an outpost there. Otherwise myanmar would have also been part of india
>>217642404>part of Thailand>the islands are now sexpat outposts filled with vantablack ladyboys and shitty bars playing the same bob marley songs over and over again
>>217643359You say that like it's a bad thing
I miss when /int/ was like this
>>217643663Good morning sir
>>217642404>IndonesiaI don't think they care about it, they have enough stolen land
>>217642737>plays eu4 once
>>217644168New guinea is the strangest island i've read about. It's so underexplored, we barely have any maps of it's interior. It gets virtually no foreign tourists ever. No one even know how many people live there. No one know how many ethnic groups exist, or how many are still 'uncontacted'. In papua new guinea the government is almost non-existent and it's babysat by australia
>>217644168based FREE WEST PAPUA
>>217644731Its gets quite a lot of tourists and westerners though and ive seen tourists there and in the highlands>t. Has been to western new guinea twice
>>217645594What are the chances of you making a wrong turn in the forest and ending up in the plot of a cannibal slasher film?
>>217645692Never at least on the indonesian side. There are some guerillas in some part the highlands but thats about it. The army usually stops you from going there.
>>217646171>The army usually stops you from going there.Why? Are they breeding with the hot native women?
>>217645692higher chances of you getting caught in a tribal war ngl
>>217646411>hot >papuansKek
>>217646411hnggg I want, no I NEED, no I DESERVE a Pajeeta gf
>>217646962So stop by a chip shop today and chat up the owner's daughter while she's slinging curry.
our blood is a mix of austronesian, austroasiatic, and either papuan/melanesian (east side) or negrito (west side)so yeah the austroasiatics of nicobar and the negritos of andaman are our cousinsI think they deserve to have independent countries though
>>217642404why not?
