It looks like the last verified contact with them has been in 2018. Recently a youtuber went there and tried to get their attention, but couldn’t find them.
Is it possible they’re not even still around? Maybe a disease found its way onto their island and took them out. It could have even been from the last visitor in 2018.
Why can’t we just leave the Sentinelese alone? Stop disturbing them and let them live their lives? is that really so hard?
They’ve also made it clear they don’t want our help anyway.
Idk, lemme swing by and check rq
Update:
There are dozens of islands in that chain and it is protected water - no one is allowed to go there without explicit permission from the Indian government. The idea is they want to be left alone. They have wanted to be left alone but the fucking British couldn’t take no for an answer and constantly raped, abducted and murdered them with guns and disease for decades. Their population cratered because of the disease and now they are a tiny fraction of what they were. Just let them be. Our world has too many problems and if they can be happy living in makeshift huts with no cellphones then that’s the best humanity can get.

In our defence, they might have had some new spices for us to discover and not use!
I watched a documentary on tribes in Papa New Guinea… FYI it was NOT a garden of eden. They were constantly killing each other, fighting off famine, dealt with health problems raw.
Did not look as glamorized as our western brains imagine it to be.
What’s your point? We don’t have to manifest destiny every single plot of land and genocide every non-white people on the fucking planet. They can live how they want to.
