Abstract
The indigenous population of the Andaman and Nicobar islands might very soon be extinct. Today the combined population of the four indigenous tribal groups -- the Jarawaha, the Onge, the Sentilese and the Great Andamanese -- number about 400. In 1858, they numbered 3000. This was before the British set up their penal colony in the islands. British rule bought in its wake diseases such as syphilis, opthalmia and measles. And, the lives of the once peace-loving semi-nomadic hunters and fishermen were imperilled.
