The Sentinelese are a negrito tribe who live on the North Sentinel Island of the Andamans. They bear resemblance to the other tribes of the Andamans, such as, the Onges, Jarawas and Great Andamanese. The latter are better known as there has been many intrusions into their habitat but not so in that of the Sentinelese, perhaps because the land they occupy has little commercial value. Also, as they value their privacy, they do not like intruders and are hostile to outsiders.

According to anthropologists the Sentinelese presence in the island has been confirmed to 2,000 years ago and more interestingly, genome studies indicate that they could have been on the islands even 30,000 years ago!

Who are these people? Why are they angry? Read these delightful adventures penned by two of the finest writers of today to get a glimpse into their lives.
