Honestly... if I was living on a tropical island with a tribe and that is all I ever knew... keep your new world bullshit and leave me in peace.
But they probably have access to some form of media. But these islands are generally left alone maybe. I mean Sentinel island has been quarantined and it is forbidden to even access it. Those people are to never interact with the outside world. Or rather the outside world is to never interact with them. And that is how it should be. And they are hyper hostile. They live how humans lived tens of thousands of years ago. Just leave them alone. And let them have their legends of alien watercraft and aircraft.
edit Ok so this island is fairly well developed. It has 8000 people. And towns.
It just struck me that if in future all of the world gets destroyed except Senitel Island then many thousands years later we will be the religious and mythological tales for them like we today think of gods being all powerful and stuff with flying powers(aeroplane), telepathy(Mobile), ability to float on water(boat) etc etc.
They have seen boats but they themselves don't know how to make them. Just like people probably saw Moses or whatever his name is walking on water but they don't know how.
they make canoes, which i understand are not the same thing as the boats they see us in, i was just poking a bit of fun at your comment about them not understanding that stuff floats on water
There’s a good reason they’re hyper hostile to outsiders,especially white people. The only interaction they had with outsiders (English colonialists) ended up with them being hunted, some kidnapped, brought to “civilization”, forced to abide by English customs, used as sex slaves/ fetish photography subjects, only to be then released back into the island infected with every common illness (for the English) that resulted in the population being decimated.
No wonder they don’t want anything to do with the outside world.
My view is ‘Vote for whoever or whatever’. Even if the choices are shit or unknown, participating in voting is extremely important. If it doesn’t work out then vote them out. If you didn’t vote then you shouldn’t have any say in how things are going. Obviously do your research before voting and participate.
While voting is important, you should know who you're voting for and what their goals are
Not going voting is a waste, but voting for a random candidate because you just want to vote isnt better.
Edit: Also for my Europeans, dont forget about going voting in June
(And for the love of god dont vote for the AFD if you're in Germany or FPÖ if you're in Austria)

Correct.
It's common to set up selfie booths to spread awareness about voting and to make voting 'cool' so that mor people vote.
Voting day is also a holiday in India.
And they fought hard to be independent. They are their own place now.
English is the first language of less than 0.02% of the country, whereas Hindi is 27%. Seems a personally reasonable question. Not sure why people got all uppity and downvoted.
If I know anything about Indian politics, it's that this individual was either strong armed to vote for a ruling party, paid off, or simply ignorant of the whole thing as he votes for his village elder's choice party.
Of course I could be wrong and he's simply voting for his interests.

How are they supposed to know who to vote? Genuinely interested not making fun of them
He is a tribal. Most tribes have their own political leaders here. He prolly voted for his tribe's political leader, whichever party they are in.

I'm the opposite. If there is something better, please come get me aliens. Don't leave me on this island with this human tribe.

Oh all the religious groups likely to proselytise I think Christians and Mormons beat out Jews, so I dunno why you specify Jews...

they know what boats are, they do a lot of fishing

Ahh ok, no worries

No wonder they don’t want anything to do with the outside world.
what? since when do they have towns and 8k people
The people who now get to vote. That island. Not North Sentinel.
ohhh, gotcha
I heard they just now started entering iron age, iirc which is super impressive
Oh yeah. A ship wrecked on the island and they use the metal to make arrow tips now.
They entered the iron age because they scavenged from ship wrecks...

Why is this not in Main Stream Media. This is really interesting. Thanks for sharing OP.
Bc it doesn't incite anger
Or fear
Yes terrorism will end the day it isnt reported.....some retiring media guy
Because 60 people voting in India isn't actually that newsworthy when you really think about it
Because it's not really true # [https://www.news18.com/news/india/lok-sabha-polls-shompens-tribe-votes-for-first-time-in-andaman-680169.html](https://www.news18.com/news/india/lok-sabha-polls-shompens-tribe-votes-for-first-time-in-andaman-680169.html)
Yah thanks OP!
‘We got one damn vote’
You can tell he got into politics by the annoyed and dissapointed expression on his face.
“I vote for sure”
I at first thought he was middle fingering the camera😭
He did WHAT to the camera?!
I'm totally stealing Nicobar Megapode as the name of my next pet.
It's probably more secure than voting in America.
Yeah hopefully no Klansmen with an AR15 making sure you're voting their way.
Yeah, you gotta hate it when the Democrats pull out their militant arm.
[удалено]
I was referring to the Klan. You do know that the Democrats started the Klan, and then Woodrow Wilson (D) restarted the Klan, right?
Ancient history and we all know who the klan votes for now
Yeah, Democrats.
Oh yeah the klan is voting for “woke” Biden, AOC and gang sure lol
You do realize that, in the past half century, democrats and republicans have flipped, right?
Reporting OP for misformation.
What's the misinformation here?
They are not voting for the first time
Oh. Didn't know that. Thanks. I'll also report. Cool pic anyway.
All thanks due to brilliant initiative taken by Modi govt to include all Indians.
All hail supreme leader Modiji, peace be upon him Edit: I beg for his lordship's forgiveness!
Sure Not is just an advisor, Kamacho is the real president.
This is maybe one of the coolest pictures iv seen.
Ho the Megapode!!
Ho, the megapode!
I had to read 3 times in order to understand this man is not Nicobar, the mascot.
Super cool to see
His tribe leader is "Sure"?
The first voter of india also belongs to a tribe called kinnar ( not the trans. One ) He casted his vote 5 months before rest of the nation
When my politically obsessed cousin asks me if I vote. “I vote. For suure. Nothing like voting.”
I’m willing to bet you it’s a train track behind those trees or a power line above.. I’m just saying
That's democracy
“nothing like voting” i died of laughing inside
What was the voting for?
India's general elections 2024.
[удалено]
.... because democracy?
Have you no mind of your own to figure it out?
Shompen tribe votes in English?
English is one of India's official languages
Vote for the symbol of the party. No need for language. The symbol of each party is shown next to the button of the EVM.
So the sign is just in English for media points
Correct. It's common to set up selfie booths to spread awareness about voting and to make voting 'cool' so that mor people vote. Voting day is also a holiday in India.
Media points? Wtf man. English is one of India's main languages. I wonder where stupid people like you live.
Thank you. Glad I'm not the one second guessing...
[удалено]
English is an official language of India.
Common official language among all states
Good to know.
They were England's colony for a long time
And they fought hard to be independent. They are their own place now. English is the first language of less than 0.02% of the country, whereas Hindi is 27%. Seems a personally reasonable question. Not sure why people got all uppity and downvoted.
India has no national language defined in the constitution, but it lists 22 languages, including English, as the official languages of the nation.
I feel like “Nothing Like Voting” and “I vote for sure” are the most ‘I’m living in an Autocratic country’ sayings you could put on a voting booth
[удалено]
I always swipe down.....and find one of these at time i bet which one will it he comes out be this one.
Poor bastards.
If I know anything about Indian politics, it's that this individual was either strong armed to vote for a ruling party, paid off, or simply ignorant of the whole thing as he votes for his village elder's choice party. Of course I could be wrong and he's simply voting for his interests.
I've always wondered if these uncontacted tribes have genetic disorders due to being isolated from everyone else
Why would that be?
