Introduction The Jaroa are an isolated tribe of the Andaman Islands in the Bay of Bengal, India. In the Andamanese language "Jaroa" means "Stranger", and at the same time the Jaroas identify themselves as "Ang". The life-tradition and culture of the Jaroas was almost unknown to us until the early eighteenth century. Later, when the British came to India at that time and started collecting research information about the Jaroah group, the Jaroah group came to be known to us as a distinct people. Identity: Although there is considerable disagreement about the original habitat of the Jaroads from the traditional point of view, some prominent anthropologists believe that the original home of the Jaroads was Africa. Descendants of the 'Jungil' tribe, the Jaroas migrated to the Andaman Islands about 55,000 years ago across a long sea route and have maintained their pure ethnic identity even today through adaptation.
