Main Bhi Bharat - Tribes of Nicobar Islands: The Nicobarese

The Nicobarese are one of the primitive tribes of the Andaman and Nicobar Islands. Their acculturation process has been the most successful, even though the Nicobarese resisted the process for a long time. But once they came in touch with the outside world, they adapted quickly and well, and are now a modern society in many ways.
However, the Nicobarese have taken pains to maintain their lifestyle and protect their culture and identity. In 1956, an Act of Parliament made the Nicobar Islands a protected area. Over time, the government has helped the Nicobarese become a part of the modern world, while keeping their identities intact. But the challenges faced by the tribe are many. Modern amenities are not available in the islands. There are no doctors or teachers, and the people of the tribe have to come to the mainland for everything.
Rajya Sabha TV was given access and travelled to the Nicobar Islands to try and understand not only their problems, but also discuss their rights.

No Tourism? That should have been asked Mr Shyam. There is immense potential of tourism and fisheries if they leave behind superstitions in latter's case.
