In short:
Indian police have arrested an American man who visited a restricted island and left offerings to a tribe not contacted by the modern world.
Mykhailo Polyakov had previously made two unsuccessful attempts to reach North Sentinel Island, home of the Sentinelese people.
What’s next?
Local authorities say he has been released on a three-day remand “for further interrogation”.
Most would immediately get ill and die due to lack of exposure to diseases that the remainder of humans have developed immunity to. They also respond aggressively to any contact. Seems reasonable to respect their autonomy.
Yeah i forget about the immunity issue too. What a pickle
It’s really not a difficult issue. They know about the outside world and choose not to contact it. It’s their decision and it should be respected.
