> What makes you think they'll be treated with violence and hate?
"Upper caste" Indians (Brahmins / Kshatriyas) have a history of treating marginalized tribal groups with violence and hatred. Forcibly removing them to exploit natural resources.
You are trying too hard, even if I subscribe to the evils of brahmin priests you are talking about Sentalese who are far far away from Indian mainland.
India claims Andamans on technicality, those islands were at best a way point for Indian sailors in the past.
Please give better points of and sources of exploitation, to call Narmada Bachao Andolan which was a protest against building a dam, as something only Brahmins and Kshatriyas only benefited is a stretch.
The main argument in favor (which I'm presenting but not necessarily defending) seems to be that the surrounding area is increasingly densely populated, so avoiding contact in the long run is impossible. Therefore it's better to take the initiative and make sure that contact is made in a controlled and gentle manner.
Infant and maternal mortality? Childhood disease? Loss of teeth? Local diseases/parasites?
Just because they're surviving doesn't mean their lives are without issue. Would you want to revert 60000 years to their level of technology? Would they want to go back to the village if they were given this same choice?
Too early to say, but ask me again in 5 years. If humanity fails to overcome the debilitating psychosis induced by Facebook in that time period, the island might become that much more tempting.
