Which among the following tribes inhabit the Andaman and Nicobar Islands ? 1. Onge 2. Jarawas 3. Sentinelese Select the answer using the codes given below :

The Andaman and Nicobar Islands are home to six indigenous tribes, classified into two distinct ethnic groups: the Negrito tribes (Andamanese) and the Mongoloid tribes (Nicobarese).

• Onge: Traditionally nomadic, they primarily inhabit the Little Andaman Island.
• Jarawas: They inhabit the western parts of South and Middle Andaman Islands and were historically hostile to outsiders but have had increasing contact since the 1990s.
• Sentinelese: They reside on North Sentinel Island and are known for being one of the most isolated tribes in the world, strictly resisting any contact with the outside world.

All three tribes mentioned, along with the Great Andamanese and the Shompen, are designated as Particularly Vulnerable Tribal Groups (PVTGs). Since all three are native to the Andaman and Nicobar archipelago, the correct option is 1, 2, and 3.
