Have you never seen mothers-sisters-women-girls?
Have you not ever?
Then, why are you ogling  
Eyes fixed on our naked bodies
Why are you staring with lustful eyes…
They are more poisonous than poisoned thorns,
Piercing our bodies,
Why do we seem like some strange creatures of the world to you?
The tribals of Andaman Nicobar
Are they not humans?
Those who have lead life
Sitting in the lap of nature
Those who can decipher the nature
Those who know how to live and die with nature's cycles
Why do you forget
They are also humans

The scoffs, the comments
You expose the nakedness covered with your expensive clothes 
Why do you have such rotten mindset?
Why have you closed your minds?
They are Jarwas, Jarwas – starving and naked 
Pauperized, dim-witted, baffling Jarwa
Black-unseemly-naked  
With no food or education

Why don't you live in Andaman Nicobar?
Stay here for 2-3-5 year
And then tell us your thoughts about life

That life we live here is totally unknown
No knowledge of the outer world, no identity
Unknown, illiterate… like animals

That time when your eyes were searching for us
Jarwa women run with children to hide
You threw stones, sometimes a crumble of bread
Just like you feed your pets
Your cameras are always focused on our bodies, to capture us
You click pictures, write online blogs and publish articles, cover stories
And make money out of it
We are in the news TV, newspapers, internet, everywhere
You profit from our naked pictures of our mothers and sisters
As if it were a competition
You made our bodies into an industry and market.

When the brokers, and so-called civilised people
Take photos of Jarwa women
They are scared, nervous and
They run – run – and run
The camera runs behind them
Fixated on their bodies
She falls down unconscious in fear
And runs again after regaining consciousness
You laugh your heart out
The photographers and media never left them
And imprisoned them in their cameras

Jarwa women used to say
We are not afraid of sea storms or the nature
Because their eyes are not fixed on our bare bodies

Being a human
They could not understand us
They do not consider us as the same,
So will they consider Jarwa women
As their mothers and sisters
Is this your civilisation?
