Don't even dare try to come near the North Sentinel Island if you still want to be alive, the indigenous tribes identified as Sentinelese of the island are known to be notorious and dangerous. Many attempts for studies and contacts have been made for this indigenous tribe but just one notable success was made by Anthropologist Trilokinath Pandit who is director of the Anthropological Survey of India after 24 years of befriending the tribe.
Why they were coined "dangerous and notorious"? Here are some accounts of the incidents happen with the Sentinelese tribes.
From the article of Mindunleashed, a Hindu convict in 1896 escaped prison and lands in the island to hide but a few days after his escape, his body was found pierced with arrows and also with his throat being cut.
Another account from the article says that in 1981, when the Primrose ship accidentally landed on the island, the crew of the ship saw that the people on the island were carrying spears and arrows. Luckily the crew of the ship were kept out by the wailing waters and were rescued by a helicopter.
After the 2004 tsunami, the Indian government tried to check the tribe via a helicopter but as soon as the helicopter tried to set foot, the tribesmen were firing hails of arrows and stones.
In 2006 via an article from the Telegraph, two drunk fishermen Sunder Raj and Pandit Tiwari approached the island and were killed.
The aerial footage of the island really seems to be a beautiful, rich island that anyone can visit. The North Sentinel Island is situated in the Bay of Bengal and is one of the Andaman Islands located in the most southern part and belongs to India.
The Sentinelese tribe is regarded to have lived for about 60,000 years belonging to Stone Age and is still untouched by civilization. The tribe has an estimated population of 50 to 400 in the island. A three-mile exclusion zone was already established by the Indian Government to protect both outsiders and the tribe.
