John Allen Chau’s death has brought undesirable attention to the Sentinelese: TN Pandit

With the passage of time, a lot has changed for Trilok Nath Pandit. But the memories of his time in Andaman and Nicobar Islands remain as vivid as ever. Now with the death of John Allen Chau, the American killed on the North Sentinel Island, they are very much in focus. Pandit is perhaps the only surviving member of the team that led a rare successful friendly expedition to the North Sentinel Island. In 1967, posted with the Anthropological Survey of India in the Andaman and Nicobar Islands, Pandit travelled with a crew of nearly 20 people to North Sentinel. It was, he says, a ‘blind’ attempt to explore the island that still remains shrouded in mystery. Unlike most other visitors, however, the Sentinelese did not react in an overly aggressive manner. Chau’s death, Pandit says, has brought undesirable attention to the Sentinelese. He believes that the hostility that Sentinelese display towards outsiders is not a sudden phenomenon.
