History of Andaman & Nicobar |
Mythologically, the
name Andaman is presumed to be derived from hanuman, the monkey god, who was
known to the malayalis as ‘handuman'. Since pre-historic times, these islands
were the home of aboriginal tribes. The tribes of the Andaman group of islands
were the great Andamanese, Onges, Jarawas and Sentinalese, all of Negro origin,
while the tribes of Nicobars, the Nicobarese and Shompens, both of mongoloid
stock. In the Andaman Islands, the various Andamanese peoples maintained their
separated existence through the vast majority of this time, diversifying into
distinct linguistic, cultural and territorial groups. By the 1850s when they
first came into sustained contact by outside groups, the indigenous peoples of
the Andamans were:
• The Great Andamanese, who collectively represented at least 10 distinct
sub-groups and languages
• The Jarawa
• The Jangil (or Rutland Jarawa)
• The Onge
• The Sentinelese (most isolated of all the groups). |
