	ANDAMAN ISLANDS
		The Andaman and Nicobar Islands is a union territory of India.
		Most accounts where the islands are mentioned - Hindu, Greek, Chinese, Italian and English - are indicating the tribes are being feared and avoided, and crews from wrecked ships or those coming for fresh water or seeking shelter from the storm were generally slain and their ships looted and destroyed by the natives.
		On the adjoining Nicobar Islands the Danes were fighting the fever too, and colonization expeditions from Tranquebar settled on the islands from 1756-59 and again from 1768-87, until Denmark finally quitted the devastating conditions in 1869 and sold the Nicobar Islands to the British.

	Jarawa (Andaman Islands) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Jarawa (also Järawa, Jarwa) are one of the indigenous peoples of the Andaman Islands, located in the Bay of Bengal approximately 200 km south of the nearest continental mainland, Cape Negrais in Myanmar.
		Indeed, the word jarawa is an exonym and not their own name (which remains unknown, but may be similar to önge, which is how their closest relatives call themselves); it means "enemy" or "hostile people" in Aka-Bea.
		Before the 1800s their homelands most probably ranged over most of South Andaman Island and nearby islets; with the subsequent arrival of Indian and Karen (Burmese) settlers their territory has altered, and they are now concentrated along the western side of South Andaman and Middle Andaman Islands.

	Outsiders in their own forests
		The fact that the Jarawa raid was in retaliation for this was known to the authorities, including the police and the Andaman Adim Jan Jati Vikas Samiti (AAJVS), the tribal welfare body of the administration, but neither chose to take corrective measures.
		Lifestyles and food habits of the Jarawas have been changing rapidly owing to outside influence, particularly since 1998 when the community broke its self-enforced isolation from the settler communities living on the fringes of their forest home.
		In response to this incident, they (the Jarawas) raided the area." Anup Mondal's letter was not only an acknowledgement that the Jarawas had been wronged but also a tacit acceptance of the fact that there was continued and large-scale violation of the rights of the Jarawas and of their home in the Tribal Reserve.

		In fact during the 1920s and 1930s the British were obliged to send many armed punitive expeditions to the Jarawa areas in the deep forests on the western coast of South Andaman.
		However various ‘Jarawa incidents’ continued from the 1950s to the 1970s, and they occur even today though to a much lesser extent.
		These incidents are mostly caused by the fact that the Jarawa feel disturbed by movements and certain activities of outside people in their territory and wish to discourage these by attacking the ‘culprits’ if very much provoked.
