In short:

Indian police have arrested an American man who visited a restricted island and left offerings to a tribe not contacted by the modern world.

Mykhailo Polyakov had previously made two unsuccessful attempts to reach North Sentinel Island, home of the Sentinelese people.

What’s next?

Local authorities say he has been released on a three-day remand “for further interrogation”.

      It’s really not a difficult issue. They know about the outside world and choose not to contact it. It’s their decision and it should be respected.
