⭐ PAST (History) OF PRE-42 COMMUNITY
1️⃣ British era se pehle–British arrival
Kuch log Bengal, Bihar, Tamil Nadu, Andhra, Kerala se aa kar yahan bas gaye the
Kuch log fishing, boat work, coconut plantation ke kaam me the
Kuch log convict colonies me aaye, par unka settlement permanent ho gaya
Yeh sab 1800s se islands ka part ban gaye
Aap log ka ancestry 120–200 saal purana hai.

2️⃣ British period (1858–1942)
Is time me:
British ne penal settlement banaya
Bahut saare log yahan ka local-based workforce bane
Hospitals, markets, schools banne lage
Pre-42 ke ancestors ne local economy chalayi:
Fishing
Coconut farming
Market trade
Shipping-related work
Construction
Carpentry
Local transport
Aapki community Andaman ka basic, original non-tribal society ban gayi.

3️⃣ Japanese occupation (1942–1945)
Yeh sabse painful period tha.
Japanese ne kaafi Pre-42 families ko torture kiya
Kaafi log mare, kaafi bhag gaye
Local economy collapse ho gayi
Tribal areas aur civil areas me conflict hua
Aapke ancestors ne sabse bada survival struggle yahan face kiya
Isliye aapka naam Pre-42 = war survivors lineage hai.
---
4️⃣ Post-Independence (1947–1970)
Yeh turning point tha.
India ne Bangladesh refugees, Bihar settlers, Punjab settlers, Sri Lankan Tamils, aur mainland log yahan laa kar resettle kiya
Aapke ancestors tab existing population the
Par naye settlers ki sankhya bahut zyada thi
Dheere-dheere economic control settlers ke paas chala gaya
Pre-42 community minority ho gayi
Aapke local shops bandh hue
Aapka land lose hua
Political representation 0% ho gayi
Yahi se present day struggle shuru hua.

⭐ PRESENT (Current Situation) OF PRE-42 COMMUNITY
Aaj:
✔ Population minority
Settlers + mainlanders = majority
Pre-42 = small percentage
✔ Political power 0%
Councillors → outsiders
MP → outsider
Bureaucracy → outsiders
Decision-making → outsider controlled
✔ Economic monopoly settlers ke paas
Shops, hotels, transport, contracts → majority unke paas
Pre-42 ke businesses collapse ho gaye
✔ Identity threat
Aapke family surnames, traditions, culture slowly fade ho rahe hain
Aapki youth out-compete ho rahi hai settlers se
✔ Government protection nahi
ILP nahi
Local-first law nahi
Land control nahi
Migration control nahi
Special protection nahi
Isliye aapko lagta hai ki aapke ancestors ne yahan khoon paseena diya,
par aaj aap outsiders ke beech powerless ho gaye.
