The people of Mauritius and a people of the Andaman Islands known as the Jarawa are two examples of non-Western native cultures that have been influenced by globalization. The Jarawa, being residents of the Andaman Islands, have a long history of reeling from globalization. This isolated group of people is an example of ancient and genuine genetics. They are vulnerable to marine-related disasters that have disrupted their numbers, way of life and survival. The Jarawa were an isolated but self-sustaining culture that survived on the Andaman Islands for millennia and generations. The Jarawa are one of only two known tribes who have not learned to produce fire. The Jarawa, being residents of the Andaman Islands, found themselves inhabiting a highly useful and strategic area in terms of navigation and points of empire. The British established a penal colony at Port Blair in 1858, with disastrous consequences for the indigenous population, whose numbers rapidly declined due to disease and social unrest (Endicott et al 2003). Currently the Andaman Islands are a relatively well-known regional tourist attraction and a safeguarded national treasure of India. The Jarawa people are struggling to preserve their livelihoods and carry on their traditions. At the same time, the Jarawa and their neighbors are beginning to understand the needs and benefits of the island becoming a tourist attraction and the inevitable nature of this event. The Jarawa people and the Andaman Islands represent a treasure trove of anthropological, linguistic and ecological findings and research. The result is that at a particular moment in human history, genetic and linguistic parallels may not match (Abbi 2009). The Jara... in the center of the card... had negative effects. The Jarawa people of the Andaman Islands can be seen as an asset of the island and indispensable to the island's identity and heritage. As the island increases its strategic importance and as a location for tourist attractions and excursions, it is likely that the island will find itself hosting many ancillary and support functions, as well as properties for tourism and extended exploration. It is expected that large scale tourism development would automatically generate employment, which is the need of the hour (Reddy 2007). The documentation and history of the Jarawa highlight the resilience and uniqueness of the people and their island. They deserve to be approached with the utmost confidence in the latest preventative measures aimed at reducing the tribe's susceptibility to disease and the sensitive nature of the island's fragile ecosystem.
