Everything about North Sentinel Island totally explained
North Sentinel Island is one of the
Andaman Islands in the
Bay of Bengal. It lies to the west of the southern part of
South Andaman Island, and has an area of 72
km².
North Sentinel Island is home to a tribe of
indigenous people, the
Sentinelese, whose present numbers are estimated to be anywhere between 50 and 400 individuals. They reject any contact with other people and are among the last people to remain virtually untouched by modern civilization. The local government has recently stated that they've no intention to interfere with the Sentinelese's lifestyle or habitat.
Although the island is likely to have suffered seriously from the effects of the
December 2004 tsunami, the survival of the Sentinelese was confirmed when, some days after the event, an Indian government helicopter observed several of them, who fired arrows at the hovering aircraft to repel it.
