Costume-patterns of Andaman &Nicobar islands are on the tide of change . It is interesting to see the sea-shell ornaments and natural products like leaves of trees, forming the costume of a place. Costumes of Andaman & Nicobar Islands are in harmony with the blue romance of the sea and the sylvan ambience.
Till date there are many people from Andaman and Nicobar Islands who do not wear any dress. This is mainly due to their detachment from the civilized world. The Sentinelese people still move naked in the islands. The semi civilized Shompens only use clothes below their waist line. It is only the people of the Car Nicobar Islands who have become much modernized. Thus they wear some modern clothes and has left wearing their traditional dresses of those made of coconut leaves. The Jarawas make beautiful items with shell and barks of tree to wear them as necklace, waist and arm bands. Whereas modern dressing styles and ultra modern attires are ruling the multiplex markets and shopping malls in the cities of India and other parts of the world, the peasants of the Andaman and Nicobar Islands are still far away from the touch of modernity. There is no such specific attire in Andaman and Nicobar islands.

It is quite surprising to note that in this 21st Century, we do still have natives running around stark naked in the jungles of Andaman and Nicobar Islands. If I may ask, is the Government of India doing anything for these people. Is there any program to bring out these natives from the jungle to the civilize world???
