The forbidden high walls on the Andaman Islands constructed by the
English colonial rule in the year 1896 brings back tales of atrocities
and adversity. The penal colony has witnessed thousands of Indian
freedom fighters suffering the tyranny of the colonial power in the name
of justice. Dreaded by all, Kala (Black) Pani (Water) has heart
wrenching accounts of our revolutionaries and martyrs. This webinar
takes you on a journey of India’s Independence struggle through the
galleries and cells of the Cellular Jail.
In this session we will be sharing with you the stories from the lives
of some of the most famous political prisoners like Veer Savarkar, B.K
Dutt, Fazl-e-Haq Khairabadi, Barindra Kumar Ghose, Sushil Dasgupta and
many more; understanding the tasks the freedom fighters had to do in
their day to day life as inmates in jail and decoding the jail’s
architectural pattern. The story of Andaman is incomplete without Netaji
Subhas Chandra Bose and hence, our journey on this webinar will conclude
with him and his contribution to India’s Independence.
