    Well, RIP the old video. This time it includes all the nudity blurred out, so hopefully YouTube won't demonetize and age-restrict it this time around.
  • I love the fact that these people exist and that the Indian government is smart enough to leave them alone.
  • @RHYSCO51
    I love how in these videos whenever it’s talking about the history of a place it’s just “they were living and just doing their own thing for hundreds of years” “then the British arrived”
  • @insertnamehere08
    Respect to the Indian government for making it illegal to enter- this kind of stuff is super cool to me and I’m glad they’re preserving it
  • @Amro_spective
    The fact that madhumala and pandit made it so close is that they had good intentions unlike others , the natives sensed it
  • It honestly is mind boggling that there are people living like it is the last Ice Age who live 50km away from a modern century 21st city.
  • @benberk8541
    Can you imagine how terrifying it would be for them if they don't have pigs on their island and we gifted them a pig. It would be like seeing an alien.
  • @teteusinho123
    I believe the aggression towards outsiders might be driven by the fear of competition for limited food on their island. Their population size is likely limited by the available food resources, resulting in a delicate balance between population and sustenance. This interplay between population and food availability could further contribute to their defensive behavior towards potential competitors.
  • Can you imagine what it was like for the Sentinelese when they first boarded the Primrose? It had to have been to them like if an alien ship landed here and we were the first to board her. Imagine the awe, yet pure fear they must have experienced.
  • i love the idea that there are humans on this earth who have no idea what modern earth is and are living like they did 1000s of years ago, its so fascinating
  • @stoweby
    They are more aware than you describe. As you stated, there have been numerous contact attempts, and they almost certainly see the planes and boats.
  • 17:21 it may be..abit more naive than my usual thoughts, but I hope that last positive interaction made for some kind of “okay there are nice ones out there” kind of stories among them
  • @microbuilder
    Cant imagine living at that technological level, and then seeing a helicopter...
  • i’m curious about how they explain all this within their own culture/lore. I can only imagine they tell mythical stories of themselves being visited by strange creatures and beings
  • @ijayeshkumardas
    I am currently enjoying my holidays in Andaman Nicobar now 😂💗 & Watching your video... Love from India 🇮🇳
  • I wonder if they'll ever create boats one day that are able to travel to Port Blair and discover our world. It would be extremely interesting to see how they react to real knowledge of the outside world.
  • @BlastedRodent
    It’s fascinating to imagine what stories they might be telling each other about the outside invaders and the abducted children who returned bearing gifts (and probably curses). Peak myth-making material right there.
  • I think it is really commendable of India to spend time,money and effort into protecting an island and its way of life with nothing selfish or worldly to gain.. They could have denounced it or done the bare minimum but they show real care towards the situation
  • I wonder what it was like for them to go onto the modern abandoned ship. Must've been like going onto an alien spaceship.
  • I hadn't known how close the island is to Port Blair. 25 km would simply be the next county over for me, I could drive it in 20 minutes. That close to the modern world but still separate.
