Secrets of women approaching the world's most dangerous tribe

With a desire to discover mysteries about cultures, in 1991, a female adventurer sought to approach the most isolated tribe in the world - the Sentinel (India).

Madhumala Chattopadhyay led an expedition with the goal of reaching out to this tribe and understanding the life of the most isolated people in the world. This is a famous tribe of dangerous and aggressive.

In a later interview, Madhumala explained: 'For six years of research and discovery of the Andaman Islands , there have never been any men who have been misbehaving with me.

They may be primitive about technological achievements, but socially, they have far surpassed us. '

In addition to Sentinel, on the Andaman Islands, there are tribes like Onge, Shompen and Jarawa . Although they live relatively close together, their communication with the modern world is very different.

Jarawa is known to be one of the most civilized tribes among them, but the Sentinel is considered the most dangerous and isolated tribe.

Because of their failed attempts to connect with them, the Indian Government decided to let them live the way they wanted.

Currently, visiting the island is said to be dangerous for tribal members, because visitors can bring pathogenic bacteria that they are not immune to.

Recently, the mass media reported on the death of a young missionary named John Chau, who tried to step into the Sentinel territory.

This event once again proves that the Sentinel here is not to make friends.

History once recorded the successful expedition to Andaman Island by explorer Pandit, but little is known about the incredible successes of the female explorer Madhumala Chattopadhyay.

At 12, Madhumala was determined to meet the most primitive tribes. After completing high school as a top class, she started studying Anthropology at Calcutta University.

Later, she explained to her parents that studying Anthropology was a "passport to the Onge tribe" - a tribe located on the Andaman Islands.

Madhumala threw more coconuts into the water, then she quickly jumped into the water with the Sentinel.
Madhumala is one of the few people who can be friends with the Sentinel. Her secret is coconuts.

As soon as the boat reaches the Sentinel territory, everyone in the group starts to throw away the coconuts to show they are in peace. In that way, the group did not take much time to get closer to this tribe, they even started picking up coconuts.

Soon after, Madhumala threw more coconuts into the water, then she quickly jumped into the water with the Sentinel.

To this day, this is still considered one of the few successful connections with this tribe. It is believed that the presence of a woman is the key to success.

Later, Madhumala also met the Sentinel again and this time they were even more friendly by climbing the boat to pick up the coconut.

Madhumala carried a baby of the Jarawa tribe.

In 1991, Madhumala made another expedition and was the only woman from the outside world to visit the Jarawa tribe.

In order not to make them feel scared, at first she stayed on the boat, but soon the women of the tribe paid attention to her. They started screaming 'Milale chera' - that is 'coming friends' . They dance to express the joy of seeing a woman in the group.

After a woman of the tribe approached Madhumala, they began examining her hair and skin. In order to show goodwill and friendship, Madhumala hugged a woman of the tribe and proved to be very happy about it. At that time, no one in the group knew she would take this unexpected action.

Jarawa was one of the most friendly tribes, so the woman quickly accepted Madhumala, even allowing her to hold her baby and help them with some chores.

This anthropologist is also the only person invited to go inside the hut and eat with them. Madhumala later became a tribe's doctor, helping the wounded.

Jarawa is one of the most friendly tribes.

Although Madhumala was the one who made great strides in contacting the world's most isolated and isolated tribes, very few people today consider her one of the best anthropologists.

She currently works in a Government Department of India, dealing with applications. Few people know of her true impact in connecting the Sentinel and Jarawa tribes to the outside world.
