American tourist escapes death from the most dangerous tribe🌍

Indian authorities revealed that an American tourist had entered the restricted area of ​​the isolated Sentinelese tribe in the Andaman and Nicobar Islands, in an attempt to communicate with a community that has not interacted with civilization for three decades.

Michael Viktorovich Polyakov, 24, made the dangerous journey in a small boat under the cover of darkness, carrying only a can of soda and a coconut, in a naive attempt to win the favor of the tribe, known for its extreme hostility to outsiders.

But luck was on the young American's side this time, as the tribe completely ignored him. This is in contrast to what happened with American missionary John Allen Chau, who was brutally murdered by the tribe five years ago, and whose body remains on the island.

Investigations revealed that Polyakov's actions were not spontaneous. Rather, he carefully planned his illegal journey. He conducted extensive research on sea conditions and tides, and used binoculars to observe the tribe members from afar before making his reckless move.

This is not the first time Polyakov has violated Indian laws. Reports indicate that he previously took unauthorized photographs of the Jarawa primitive tribe earlier this year.

He also attempted to reach North Sentinel Island last October by dinghy, but was prevented by the management of the hotel where he was staying. Polyakov's provocative behavior prompted Indian authorities to file a lawsuit against him under the Aliens Act of 1946, which criminalizes entry into protected tribal areas without a permit.

The Sentinelese tribe, who inhabit the remote island 25 miles west of popular tourist resorts, represent a true anthropological mystery. They reject all contact with the outside world and confront intruders with extreme brutality.

The Indian government has imposed a strict ban on visits to the island since 1956, insisting that protecting these isolated tribes and their unique cultures is a top priority. Yet some adventurers seem unaware of the danger of provoking these primitive communities, who categorically reject any attempts to integrate with modern civilization.
