COORDINATE LOCATION: Minicoy Island, India
Minicoy, locally known as Maliku, is an island in Lakshadweep, India. The ancient name of Maliku was Mahiladū meaning women's island. Minicoy islanders have long settled in the Nicobar Islands across the Bay of Bengal. These settlers regularly travelled back to Minicoy. The Andaman and Nicobar Islands had a reputation in the Maldives and Minicoy of being inhabited by cannibals, and so collectively the Andaman and Nicobar groups were called "Minikaa-raajje" by Minicoy and Maldive islanders. This meant "cannibal kingdom".
