Andhra Andhra is the informal name of the Indian state Andhra Pradesh. Also "andra" means the second in Swedish. Poo Nai's Andhra is our second kitten. Andhra Pradesh is situated in Southern India, North of Tamil Nadu, on the East Coast. Compared with India in general, Andhra Pradesh is not to densely populated. In an area slightly larger than half of Sweden lives only 55 miljon people (or 5.5 crore as they put it in India). In this state you can still find virgin areas with savannas or dry open forests. And very few people. The government cannot control all these areas and gangs of criminals, dacoits, rules. The dacoits earn their money mainly from sandalwood and ivory smuggling. Here is a link to Poo Nai's Andhra. |
