This is not really a story that has any parallels to politics. This is a primitive tribe that survived the 2004 tsunami. There are supposedly between 50-200 people on the island. They have had some contact with the outside world. I think looking at a tribe that lives a primitive life through a 2018 lens is the wrong thing to do. And I think protecting them from the outside world is not necessarily the way to go. There is a penalty for visiting there without permission. They obviously know there are such things as power boats, airplanes, and helicopters. They go all around the island. And they know there are other people in the world, because certain expeditions have visited there.
Nobody has ever communicated with them because their language is spoken, not written, and nobody has ever lived there long enough to work it out and write it down.
