will be a ‘death sentence’ for isolated tribe

In reply to Chrissy

Started typing about the disease/no immunity factor read and stopped. The once 'hunted' has become the hunter...as the world turns.

In reply to Brerzerk

Too sad bro

Another line of thought is.....is it fair to keep them isolated..Aren't you depriving them of modern facilities..

In reply to pooranian

They tell anyone they want modernization? Aren’t they the people who shot arrows at ‘intruders?”
There may be some delicate way for a win/win but experts seem to think not.

Please read the article ...one would see this picture

A Shompen boy.

Look at the hut in picture ...notice anything?

Plastic baskets !!!! Now how can they manufacture such?

Its obvious they have had contact with the outside world.

Did they all perish as the article notes?

Much ado about nothing...

ps I am in India at the moment they are not concerned.

Jaydee, Problemjay , barry ..I am here Barmer refinery location....

India wants to developped nicobar island and lakshadweep as tourist destination.

The reason for this is because India do not wants their tourist to go to maldives anymore.

Maldives has become a problem for india. The muslims in maldives do not like india and they do not like modi.

India has been funding maldives for century but now i expect those funds will soon stop.

Nicobar island and lakshadweep island belong to india so they can do whatever they want.

Same how USA developped their virgin islands and hawaii.

Nicobar island and lakshadweep island belong to india so they can do whatever they want.

I hope that dumbo like emir, runs, ray and westdem can understand this and stop running around like antimans.

No need to insult Jeremy...

In reply to sgtdjones

you're right. i apologize.

In reply to Jeremy
The Guardian is the best newspaper on the planet - bar none. Check out its ownership.

Poor you.

In reply to Chrissy

Unfortunately its your opinion....about the newspaper...

Anyone with an iota of braincells would see its BS concerning this article...I pointed out flaws..

They have had visitors on a regular basis...

In reply to sgtdjones

What you doing in India? Trying to get into another franchise?

One is 100% sure the basket wasn’t gathered from the ocean or gotten from having limited contact compared to the hordes that would be required to build and tour (tourist). The other didn’t know that Pacific Islanders had contact with Euros centuries before America even got Hawaii! Extermination of a people is dependent on the level of contact, population and volume of outsiders plus length of contact…simpletons. So, in the last 60 days you’ve done a train tour East/West across Canada and back, been to TNT, San Fran Bay Area, Texas India and where else again?

In reply to googley

I had explained to barry that I was going to India and would visit his relatives.
I explained that the Barmer refinery was having some problems ( Heat Transfer and reaction engineering) that will not help the throughput at such plant.
He called me all sort of names ...lol
We made a deal since he is from India , when I go I will notify him...
I told him I wanted to see if the relatives were as stable as him...

In reply to Chrissy

The area needs proper infrastructure and increased development - it's the 21st century!

What's the life span in those underdeveloped areas, 45?

Once there is an organized structured development, nothing is wrong!

In reply to XDFIX

How is "development" working out in The Amazon? World survival will depend on some areas being undeveloped. Notice I said hopefully some 'delicate' solution can be found. Did someone without an iota of proof asserted they get visitors on a regular basis???

In reply to Brerzerk

In other words, some areas must make sacrifices for the big stagers, nothing is wrong with orderly development. We are where we are because of disorder!

Not sure why the Guardian title refers to 'untouched' Nicobar isles (plural) and then relates that Great Nicobar Island has 8000 inhabitants. Of those it seems the Shompen may presently consist of only 1-3% of the population:

In reply to KTom

Not only the Guardian , we have posters here who have never visited India but comment.
These islands have been touch by visitors over the past few decades again look at the picture, posted in the article.
In the background a human foot is shown with shoes.

In reply to sgtdjones

Would you rate the above as your most intelligent utterance? Does someone need to visit a place to speak on it?
So if I visit Queensland but not NSW can I speak on NSW or all of Oz any of it or none of it? If I visit Goa but not Gujarat can I speak on both of those, all of India none of it?
If I've never visited Canada can I say anything at all with authority about Ontario, Alberta, NewFoundland/Labrador?

In reply to Brerzerk

Ever notice how Ignore you...

If you didn't, here is a hint.

Have a good life.

In reply to sgtdjones

Take a next train trip to Alberta, then hurry to Trinidad, run guH Texas afterwards and hurry to SFO Bay area next then hustle to India all in the space of a month
cause yuh large n in charge as a sarge. Oh, I forgot you just 'did that'..... HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

....

If I cared about what other people think of me; I shall always be their prisoner

Yawn.
