Sentinal island
So I was bored and heard of some island called North Sentinal. Basically the people are very isolated and hostile, they live like the stone age. It's kind of owned by India but they're very independent. India has tried to contact them but they just shoot arrows and chuck spears. What I don't understand is how come no one has colonized them yet? I understand it's immoral, and I wouldn't do it myself, but there are bad people in the world, power hungry people, and a bunch of stone agers would be an ideal target. I think it would be a pretty easy job. The only thing stopping them is the fact India owns the place. But if you got past them, either through war or purchase (and let's be real, how much would India cling to this place that serves no purpose, and gives no benefit, to them?) Or if India sent people, wouldn't it be super easy? Like I'm sure if I waltz in with armour and an assault rifle, I could conquer the fuck out of them and their shitty arrows. Like they're small, isolated, and stone age. (I wouldn't do that, it's wrong, but I'm sure there are others who would.) And they can't speak any languages other than their own that no one knows, if I (somehow) learned it, and secretly conquered them, I could basically do whatever I want with my superior technology and connections to the outside world. They would have no way of reporting me for human rights violations. Once I get them to submission, and keep them away from technology and weapons, and have a monopoly on anything useful, slowly let my rulingship be known, underneath a false impression I've got their consent and it's a democracy, I could bring in my buddies back in America to help me with this shit, and boom. I've got a colony. I'm sure if I played my cards right a dense forest and coral reef with people would be ideal for business men and I could get their funding, it would be so easy. Why hasn't it happened?

Remember Star Trek and the prime directive to not interfere with other developing societies? It is for the reason to prevent a global superpower interfering in the natural development of any civilization that is further behind.
I can only guess that it is this one thing keeping us from colonizing.
That and basically since the people living there are fairly hostile due to not knowing much about modern man, to colonzie, it might take
