A lot of people seem to believe the Sentinelese are pissed off for no reason. The British did expeditions there in the 1800s and killed a bunch of elderly people and kidnapped children. The Sentinelese have been justifiably cautious ever since.
There is a historical theory that when colonialism was huge, someone escaped from the terror from somewhere else and warned the North Sentinelese about it, so they've been super aggressive against any outsider ever since. And well, it worked for them. Their reputation goes WAY back.
Yeah I mean being very isolated and very defensive towards colonisers is about the only strategy that seems to work.
