You didn't read the article. She landed on North Sentinel island and interacted with the Sentinelese. Then, later in the article it focuses on Jarawa.

- codezero 10y agoI did read it. I just don't trust the veracity of the claims. The best I can find is this book: https://books.google.com/books?id=-4PDCQAAQBAJ&pg=PA140&lpg=PA140&dq=allen+point+sentinel+islands&source=bl&ots=UFU2HZZYj0&sig=eLPW59HhLtX37jud0z0yH2s5X0I&hl=en&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwiWlpHagOLMAhVK-2MKHUt8AScQ6AEIKjAB#v=onepage&q=allen%20point%20sentinel%20islands&f=false https://books.google.com/books?id=-4PDCQAAQBAJ&pg=PA140&lpg=... This text claims to have made friendly contact in 1986, and says 1994 had contact on the eastern coast. These dates don't line up with the story, and I can't find any official source information about the contact, so the inconsistency is a red flag.
- khedoros 10y agoShe apparently wrote a book 15 years ago: http://www.amazon.in/Tribes-Car-Nicobar-Madhumala-Chattopadhyay/dp/8176252395/ref=sr_1_1/275-2311076-5393852 http://www.amazon.in/Tribes-Car-Nicobar-Madhumala-Chattopadh... I don't know how one would go about researching Indian anthropological expeditions to find the officially-documented connection to reality, but presumably that's where you'd start, if you wanted to verify the story.
