Sponsorship the way you would do it

Lakshadweep is a Union Territory of India. It consists of 36 coral islands totalling 32 kmÃÂ² in the Arabian Sea, between 200 to 300 km off the coast of Kerala.

The main islands are Kavarrati, Minicoy, and Amini. The total population of the 10 inhabited islands is about 51,000.

The name of the archipelago literally means hundred thousand islands (laksha = one hundred thousand, dweep = island). Prior to 1973, the island group was known by the anglicized name Laccadives (compare to Maldives, Sanskrit name Maladweepa).
