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”.
Thankfully anthropologists, ethicists and legal scholars do have some idea. And they all say stay the fuck away.
Since you are presenting yourself as being familiar with the subject: why?
Edit: shout out to the one guy downvoting me for asking for a coherent explanation…which the other guy helpfully provided. Your opinion is noted.
