Sad that he was killed, but what on earth was he thinking? Did he think that he could educate Sentinelese islanders and bring Western civilisation to them through Christianity? Arrogant, condescending, ignorant, mad or what?

In 2018, a 26-year-old American missionary named John Allen Chau ignored repeated warnings and Indian law in his attempt to convert the uncontacted Sentinelese islanders to Christianity. Aware that the Sentinelese had always killed anyone who dared get too close, Chau knew that he might die but bribed local fishermen to get him to the island anyway.
Once close, he canoed toward shore with a waterproof Bible, which may have saved his life when it stopped an arrow destined for his heart. Forging ahead anyway, he finally made contact before he was quickly killed and his body was dragged away, never to be seen again. The Indian government eventually gave up on trying to retrieve the body because doing so would be too dangerous.
