North Sentinel Island


Still world belongs to some of ancient mysterious life we never believe especially without proof of it.

       Yeah.. Here am talking about a North Sentinel Island is one of the Andaman Islands, which includes South Sentinel Island, in the Bay of Bengal. It is home to the Sentinelese who, often violently, reject any contact with the outside world, and are among the last uncontacted peoples to remain virtually untouched by modern civilization. Their population is estimated to be between 50 and 400 individuals. North Sentinel lies 36 kilometres west of the town of Wandoor in South Andaman Island. It has an area of about 59.67 km2 and a roughly square outline.


                           The Sentinelese language spoken by the islanders is significantly different from Hindi or other Indian languages. This, in combination with the general hostility of the Islanders, has rendered verbal communication impossible.

                           Nominally, the island belongs to the South Andaman administrative district, part of the Indian union territory of Andaman and Nicobar Islands.In practice, Indian authorities recognise the islanders' desire to be left alone and restrict their role to remote monitoring;they do not prosecute them for killing non-Sentinelese people.The island is in effect a sovereign area under Indian protection.


                               In January 2006, two fishermen fishing in illegal waters were killed by the Sentinelese when their boat drifted too close to the island. There were no prosecutions.In November 2018, John Allen Chau, an American evangelist, was attacked, killed, and buried after he travelled illegally to North Sentinel Island; seven individuals suspected of helping with Chau's illegal access to the island have been taken into custody by Indian police.
