Copyvio search

I think this is a redundant fork, but I'm just noting here there were several potential copyvios from academic papers which I found, but they all appear to be false positives as the text on the main Andaman and Nicobar Islands page was there long before those articles were published.

Marathas

I have removed the following section as no other reliable source exists [yet] supporting the claim that Marathas ever made the Island their base
The islands became a temporary shipping port of the Maratha Empire and its navy in the 17th century. The first empire to list the Andamans under its territory was the Maratha Empire.^[1]The Maratha admiral Kanhoji Angre established a basic naval dominance in the islands and played a role in the annexation of the islands to India.^[2] ChandlerMinh (talk) 09:03, 30 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
