Never Forget The Sacrifice of Freedom Fighters and The Cost of Freedom!! Watch Independence Day Special Video: History of Cellular Jail - Kala Pani (From the archives of Films Division) The Cellular Jail, also known as Kala Pani was a colonial prison situated in the Andaman and Nicobar Islands, India. The prison was used by the British especially to exile political prisoners to the remote archipelago. Many notable dissidents such as Batukeshwar Dutt and Veer Savarkar, among others, were imprisoned here during the struggle for Indias independence. The remote islands were considered to be a suitable place to punish the freedom fighters. Not only were they isolated from the mainland, the overseas journey (Kala Pani) to the islands also threatened them with loss of caste, resulting in social exclusion. Today, the complex serves as a national memorial monument. t.co/xPtqIjYyjn
