Cellular Jail

Cellular Jail

The Cellular Jail, also known as Kala Pani in Hindi and it was a British colonial prison in
the Andaman and Nicobar Islands. The prison was used by the colonial government of India for
the purpose of exiling criminals and political prisoners. Many notable independence activists,
including Sardar Singh Artillery,  Diwan Singh Kalepani ,  Yogendra Shukla ,  Batukeshwar Dutt ,
Shadan Chandra Chatterjee,  Sohan Singh, Vinayak Savarkar, Hare Krishna Konar,  Shiv Verma ,
Allama  Fazl-e-Haq Khairabadi , and  Sudhanshu Dasgupta  were imprisoned here during
the struggle for India independence. Today, the complex serves as a national memorial
monument. Although the prison complex itself was constructed between 1896 and 1906, the
British authorities in India had been using the Andaman Islands as a prison since the days in the
immediate aftermath of the Indian Rebellion of 1857.
