28 years ago, the famous anthropologist Madhumala Chattopadhia went on an unusual expedition. She flew to the distant islands, where bloodthirsty tribes live, standing at the most primitive stage of development.
She was interested in how aggressive and hostile towards strangers live, closed from the outside world.
Risking life
After spending 6 years with them, she told a lot of interesting things, including the fact that socially Aboriginal people are head and shoulders above Europeans. Madhumala Chattopadhia established contact with the most isolated tribe in the world, living on the North Sentinel Island in the Indian Ocean.
The anthropologist risked not only her life. She illegally went to the dangerous Sentinel, as the law of India officially forbids visiting the island. Once the country's government tried to establish contact with a tribe isolated from the outside world, but soon abandoned these attempts. People showed that they did not like strangers and threatened with weapons, so the locals decided not to meddle here.

In addition, it is believed that the appearance of a white man is detrimental to Aboriginal people, as they can get sick with various diseases, catching some kind of infection.
"Small children" with a developed social organization
And only Madhumale Chattopadhiya, who graduated from the University of Calcutta, managed to land on the island and live with its inhabitants for several years. The natives realized that the lady was friendly towards them, and did not threaten her.
According to the woman, for all the time that she spent on the island, she was never offended.
A world-renowned anthropologist responsibly stated: “In technical terms, Aborigines are like small children, they are at a lower stage of development, but their social organization is simply perfect, and Europeans can only dream of this. They are a cut above all of us. ”

A success that no one has repeated
Against the background of the fact that the natives are firing at the helicopters circling above them from bows, they are killing fishermen who accidentally come ashore, the success of the expedition seems incredible. The Sentinels do not need friends, but they accepted the woman into their tribe as their own.
There are only a few lucky people in the world who have established contact with the natives and survived.
Nobody expected the success of the expedition. Perhaps everything went extremely well because no threat came from the woman. She brought coconuts with her and began tossing them to the natives, showing that she was going in peace. And then the natives showed friendliness.
