Read RC Passage to Answer:

For most of this period, the inhabitants of these islands have maintained their separate existence, diversifying into distinct linguistic, cultural and regional groups. In the mid-nineteenth century AD, they first came into sustained contact with the outside world. Today they consist mainly of the Great Andamanese tribes such as the Jakha, Ane and Sentinelese, and the Nicobarese such as the Great Nicobari and the Shompen. This union territory of tropical climate nourished by both south-western and north-eastern rainy seasons is currently divided into three revenue districts and its capital is Port Blair.

The inhabitants of the Andaman and Nicobar Islands have migrated from various parts of India and also from Burma.
