	The Hindu : Who speaks for the Jarawas?
		In the last century, loggers, settlers and poachers pillaged the forests, sealing the fate of the hapless Jarawas.
		The belief of the dominant society that the Jarawas are backward and that they need improvement is actually a racist notion based on an ethnocentric viewpoint.
		SANE has pleaded in its petition to ban all contact with the Jarawas, to evict all encroachers, camps and outposts from the area traditionally occupied by them and to close the Andaman trunk road to all traffic.

		It was particularly puzzling given the fact that Jarawas have for long been hostile towards the settlers, to whom they have lost large swathes of their forests, and the tribal people have fiercely defended what is left of their traditional lands.
		Jarawas have sustained themselves on forest produce for centuries, and there is no reason to believe that they have suddenly been pushed into starvation.
		In order to protect the Jarawa way of life, a Jarawa tribal reserve was established over a 700-sq-km area: the objective was as much to keep the tribal population confined to the reserve as to prevent settlers from encroaching into it.

		Ever since the Jarawa laid down their arms in 1998, their forest has become overrun with poachers, some of whom provide food or alcohol to the Jarawa in lieu of permission to poach.
		Significantly, those bands of Jarawa who have been affected by the measles epidemic live close to or alongside the Andaman Trunk Road, which, even as we speak, is being widened-in flagrant violation of the 2002 Supreme Court Order to close the road.
		Jarawas numbers had gone up — something that the local administration was very proud about — from 240 to about 266 or so.

		The Jarawas have remained in isolation for aeons, living in the rain forests at peace with nature for centuries The Jarawas have traditionally greeted outsiders aggressively, firing arrows at settlers whose cattle and fields encroach upon the vital resources and occasionally robbing the passengers of their food.
		The entire Jarawa Reserve is spread over an area of 765 square kilometers on the western coast of the Middle and South Andaman Islands.
		The Darwin's concepts of 'Struggle for Existence' and 'Survival of the Fittest' seem to be deeply ingrained in the psyche of the Jarawas.

	Report on Situation of Jarawa Tribal Minority, Recommendations For and Against Action
		In addition to the counter-petition on the Jarawa, they have decided to go ahead with their petition on behalf of policy changes in relation to the Onge, which calls for similar measures and will, they believe, reinforce their call for a new approach to administrative policy toward the indigenous peoples of the Andamans.
		This state of ignorance of, and non-communication with, the Jarawa is to a considerable extent the result of governmental opposition to anthropological research among the native populations.
		Encouragement of such research among both the Jarawa and the local Indian population, oriented towards the facilitation of understanding by each groups of the other and the creation of continuing channels of communication and cooperation between them, should be a top priority of national and local government.

		The study notes: "… some Jarawa boys are appearing on the trunk road with resin … asking the vehicle drivers to give them paan for resin that costs hundreds of rupees.
		Interestingly, many Jarawas have now moved out of deep jungles to take up settlements off the Andaman Trunk Road (which cuts through their settlement and connects North and South Andaman Island).

		The Jarawa are very different in appearance to their Indian neighbours, and DNA tests suggest that their closest relatives are African.
		Because of the Jarawa’s voluntary isolation, and the fact that no one outside the tribe really spoke their language, little was known about them until recently.
		The principal threat to the Jarawa’s existence comes from encroachment onto their land, which was sparked by the building of a highway through their forest in the 1970s.

		The case was referred to the Supreme Court and, while the facts regarding the survival of the Onges were being debated at in the court, the Jarawa case, i.e the negative impact of the ATR on the Jarawa livelihood was also brought forward, both cases being of the similar nature.
		A little more than 13 years since the ATR became functional and a little less than 6 years since the Jarawas came out of their homes in the jungles, on to the road and, started a way of life that was partial to their existence in whole.
		The road seems to be in a mad rush to transport the Jarawas from one end of the history of civilization to the other, in a matter of years that would negate their identity as possibly the world's oldest homo sapiens.

		Though none of these abnormalities were detected among the Jarawas, further studies on other genetic polymorphisms could throw light about the probable migrations and admixtures of this isolated tribe.

	Failing the Jarawas
		The Jarawa community, which had remained isolated in its forest abode in the islands for centuries, brokeits circle of isolation and came out for friendly interaction with the outside world - people from mainland India, settled in and around the forests of the Jarawas (`Jarawa excursions', Frontline, July 17, 1998).
		As expected, they went into a range of issues relating to the Jarawas, including their health, the status of their forest habitat, the availability of resources, their knowledge of the resources and the impact of the outside world.
		It documents, for the first time, the Jarawa community's exhaustive understanding and use of their natural resources: they have knowledge of at least 150 plant and over 350 animal species, many of which are consumed as food, medicine or put to use for decorative purposes.

		If the “Jarawas” don’t want to integrate with the rest of humanity, but want to stay “Jarawa”, then they have to accept the possibilty of getting wiped out by disease due to their poor resistance.
		Jignesh’s view - that the Jarawas should ‘integrate with the rest of humanity’ - is a common one, especially among the settlers in the AandN islands.
		Generally, even in the face of constant encroachment and other provocation by settlers, the Jarawas do not mount ‘punitive expeditions’ of the sort that the Brits used to indulge in.

		As the road runs through their reserves the interaction of the Jarawas with the settlers and the tourists manifold has increased; alongside it has also eroded much of their original way of life.
		The intense contact which the ATR provides with the outside world has induced the Jarawas to consume a variety of foods containing salt, sugar, saturated fat, etc, that their body systems have never been accustomed to.
