Hardest place to visit- North Sentinel Island (India)

North sentinel islands is a part of Andaman Nicobar islands located in bay of Bengal. The sentinelese people 're hostile to external contact and 're ergo dubbed as "hardest place to visit".
This tribe is supposed to be direct descendants of first humans emerged from Africa, they 've lived there for last 60,000 years and their population is not known.
Not much is known about 'em, their language is alien and habits unknown.
All visits to the island 're now banned by the Indian government, Indian navy has enforced a 3 mile buffer zone around the island, no tourists and fisherman 're allowed close to this island.

I dont know about you guys but I was not aware that sentinelese ppl were so hostile or that they 're direct descendants of first humans from Africa.

Heard about them.... They were in news even during Tsunami when ppl feared they would have been wiped out.. but luckily they survived and was hostile to flying copters.

Read about them earlier .

I guess these are the same ones who use the longest arrow as well and shoot anyone who comes to their island .

I was seriously not aware that they were direct descendants of first humans from Africa.
You're right, they were in news when Tsunami hit these islands in 2004.

Wow this is very interesting. I guess it is best for the IN to continue to enforce the exclusions zone around this island and leave them alone, they are doing no harm, let them be.

Strange to think that technically these people are Indian citizens.

I'm sure even they 're not aware that they 're part of India.

Aliens from another world is taking care of them!! May be. But if they are happy (I am sure they are), them just leave them with their habits and habitats.

Indeed, they would have no idea that India exists or what India even is. As such there is no need to force the to confront the globalised world, they are not doing any harm, this islands doesn't seem to be of any particular use to the Indian state so just leave them alone, no?

Spot on!
Their arrows serve as spears too.

There are 4/5 different tribes living there in distinct isolation from modern civilized world for nearly 60,000 years. Hopefully, they will be allowed to remain aloof in future also.

Not really. Only the Sentinelese remain isolated. Their numbers are not much - anything from 40 to 250.

You are right. These mixing up perhaps started only decades back when tourism industry exploded in the island.

govt is doing the right thing not to meddle with them

I wonder whether we can call them Indian citizens.
They are more like aliens from a different planet.
