Pretty sad.... There are tribes like that in Africa and S. America.... fyi, if you ever travel and take a cruise, it is very common for the locals to entertain the tourists with displays of their culture, folk dancing, singing, and crafts (for sale, of course). I've also seen much poverty and primitive societies.....go outside the city limits of Cairo and you are suddenly taken back 300 years...

"Tour companies and cab drivers ‘attract’ the Jarawa with biscuits and sweets, The Guardian and The Observer had said in their report published in January last year. "

I'm guessing most of those "tourists" are Indian or Brits....

Here's a letter to the editor of The Hindu News....

"Jarawa tribes are happy ( remember, it's the happiness which is the most important thing in life) the way they are.
  • Reminds me of slavery in the South....someone was once quoted as saying, "our darkies is happy, just look at them sing and dance........"

Who are we to pass a judgement on how they should live in this mother earth? They stand to contract all the diseases that the so called modern world have developed, so is better to leave them in isolation with a periodic monitoring of their well being by a special task force well equipped to let them maintain their status quo. That is better for their longevity than anything else. The world outside is by no means any better, with the kind of inequality and poverty around in the world's largest pseudo democracy !!
