520			_aThe Shompens of Great Nicobar Island is one of India’s little-known, most isolated, and least-studied Particularly Vulnerable Tribal Group (PVTG). They were stereotyped as ‘extremely shy’, ‘very hostile and aggressive’, ‘fierce and violent’, ‘reclusive tribe’, ‘stone-age tribe’, etc. The general perception is that the Shompens prefer to live in ‘isolation’ maintaining a social distance not only from outsiders, but also from their brethren living in other territories. The Shompens existed for generations on this island by carrying out two primary activities, i.e. hunting and food gathering.
