Numbering around 400, people of the Jarawa tribe occupy the lion’s share of land in South and Middle Andaman Islands, earmarked as Jarawa Tribal Reserve (JTR). This irks leaders of political parties and businesspeople, who often question the need for such a huge stretch of land for a handful of Jarawas. They also suggest and offer welfare measures for the Jarawas, not willing to realise the consequences these may have on the tribe. The Andaman Chamber of Commerce has offered to construct houses for the tribe. Political leaders such as Bishnu Pada Ray, lone member of Parliament from the Andaman and Nicobar parliamentary constituency, have even argued that “given a chance the Jarawa can scale political heights like Barrack Obama, who belongs to a tribal community”.
