Wild animals and sand in offshore Indian territories (7,7)

I believe the answer is:

andaman islands

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'offshore indian territories' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I can't tell whether this works.

'wild animals and sand' is the wordplay.
'wild' indicates anagramming the letters.
'animals'+'and'+'sand'='animalsandsand'
'animalsandsand' is an anagram of 'ANDAMAN ISLANDS'.

'in' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Another definition for andaman islands that I've seen is " part of India".)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
