发帖数: 901 | 1 Rights campaigners and politicians Wednesday condemned a video showing women
from a protected and primitive tribe dancing for tourists in exchange for
food on India's far-flung Andaman Islands.
British newspaper The Observer released the video showing Jarawa tribal
women -- some of them naked -- being lured to dance and sing after a bribe
was allegedly paid to a policeman to produce them.
Under Indian laws designed to protect ancient tribal groups susceptible to
outside influence and disease, photographing or coming into contact with the
Jarawa is illegal.
The tribe, thought to have been among the first people to migrate
successfully from Africa to Asia, lives a nomadic existence in the lush,
tropical forests of the Andamans in the Bay of Bengal.
India's Tribal Affairs Minister V. Kishore Chandra Deo promised to take
action over the incident, terming it "disgusting" on Wednesday, and the home
ministry has sought a report.
Survival International, which lobbies on behalf of tribal groups worldwide,
said the video showed tourists apparently enjoying "human zoos."
"Quite clearly, some people's attitudes towards tribal peoples haven't moved
on a jot. The Jarawa are not circus ponies bound to dance at anyone's
bidding," said Stephen Corry, the group's director, in a press release.
In June last year, Survival International accused eight Indian travel
companies of running "human safari tours" so tourists could see and
photograph the Jarawa.
The London-based lobby group called for tourists to boycott the road used to
enter the reserve of the Jarawa tribe, who number just 403 and are in
danger of dying out.
The Andaman and Nicobar tropical island chain is home to four other rare
tribes -- Onge, the Great Andamanese, the Sentinelese and the Shompens, each
numbering fewer than 350 members.
Another tribe called Bo died out in January 2010.
The Andaman police downplayed the video, calling it "old" and blamed the
British journalist for forcing the Jarawas to dance for the tourists.
"It is obvious that it is the videographer who is breaking the law of the
land and who is inciting the tribals to dance," senior Andaman policeman S.B
. Deol said in a statement.
