Those who visit North Sentinel Island are unlikely to leave alive due to the island’s murderous inhabitants.
North Sentinel Island lies in the Bay of Bengal off of the coast of India, and its white beaches and clear blue sea make it the perfect destination for any tourist in search of breathtaking scenery. According to Wackulus, the island is one of the last remaining uncivilized areas of the earth. But North Sentinel Island is still inhabited by natives who have remained trapped in time and have lived the same way for thousands of years — so much so that, when they see outsiders on their island, they often try to kill them with their rudimentary weapons.
North Sentinel Island is the size of Manhattan and has been occupied by indigenous people for 60,000 years. A tribe called Sentinelese, which has a population of just 200 people (or maybe more), occupy the island and, over the centuries, have denied any kind of contact with the world, refusing to be “civilized” by anyone. In fact, tourism to the island has been banned, and India’s government has established a three-mile exclusion zone in an effort to prevent more violence, a report from the Dhaka Tribune revealed.
Needless to say, neither tourists nor fishermen dare to set foot on North Sentinel Island, for those who drift too close to the island will be, as in the case of two fishermen who were killed by tribe members in 2006. According to the Telegraph, Sunder Raj, 48, and Pandit Tiwari, 52, were killed by the Sentinelese while they were fishing illegally for mud crabs off the island.
Regarding the incident, Samir Acharya, the head of an environmental organization, released the following statement.
“As day broke, fellow fishermen say they tried to shout at the men and warn them they were in danger. However they did not respond — they were probably drunk — and the boat drifted into the shallows where they were attacked and killed.”
The tribe is extremely hostile and they will attack anything approaching the territory, both by sea and also by air. Photos have shown them throwing stones and shooting arrows at helicopters and planes flying over their sky. It is virtually impossible to take pictures of the tribe to document their island life because you can not get closer than three miles from the coast.
The Sentinelese still live by hunting and gathering wild fruits, there is no trace of agricultural practices, and their language remains unknown. It is also difficult to estimate the number of people in the tribe because of the impossibility to travel to the island to conduct a census.
Marco Polo, who had contact with them in the thirteenth century, wrote that “they are a most violent and cruel generation who seem to eat everybody they catch.”
It's so exclusive! You can boast to all your friends about the unspoiled beauty!
A new way to execute evil doers —drop them by parachute into this island—
There are also tribes in the inner cities that speak their own language and haven’t had contact with civilization for many years as well. They are extremely violent and cruel, and a shoe that any civilized attempts to contact them.
maybe we could unleash some smallpox blankeys...
They eat them!
CA....
They don’t have any mirrors do they’d just have to stare at you.
Off the coast of India? It’s actually a lot closer to Thailand than India...
We could send all the “creepy clowns” there, but the natives would probably complain that they taste funny.
Sentinel? Some ‘hood in Chicago, you say.
Hellary has probably already sent a half dozen of her volunteers to register them to vote.
They may be much smarter than most people realize
I was wondering the same thing.
And yet they’re still more civilized that the muslim slime Obama is shipping in by the ton.
And they keep good records! (How do others know they've been there for so long when we can't keep track of voter rolls and illegals?)
At least they don’t get this everyday:
Hello, this is card services. Would you like to lower your interest rate?
Napalm. Only way to be sure.
Let’s go conquer them and change the place to FreeRepublic Island and build some infrastructure. LOL
What do you call a cannibal who just devoured his mother-in-law?
Gladiator!
