PASSAGE

Andaman and Nicobar Islands consist of

mainly two groups of islands, with distinctive

features of the original residents — Negroid and

Mongolese. It is strange to see how these two

different groups migrated to these islands so far

from the mainland — from India and Myanmar.

The aboriginals found in these islands are the

Jarawas, Sentinelese, Onges, Shompenites,

mainly found in Andaman and the Nicobarese in

Nicobar. Of these the Nicobarese in general, and

some of the Onges, have accepted the so-called

modern civilization and learned the use of modern

tools and facilities.

They can be seen frequently in the Port Blair

market. The aboriginals are looked after by the

Anthropological Department of the Government,

who make regular visits to their islands and supply

them with food-and other necessities.

These aboriginals still do not know how to

use a matchbox and prepare fire by rubbing two

pieces of wood; they also do not know the use of

cloth. If the people from the Anthropological De-

partment offer them clothes, they use them only

as turbans and not to wrap their bodies.

lands from

(A) India (B) Myanmar
