My pictures with their little stories

Solitary confinement cells at Cellular Jain, Andaman islands A walk down this corridor at the cellular jail is bound to make you sad and angry. Sad when you see first hand the inhuman torture and suffering that our freedom fighters were subjected to by the British and angry because you realise that you have not done much to justify their sacrifices and have not even bothered to preserve their memory befitting their stature.  ( Cellular Jail, Port Blair , Andaman Islands , 2008 )

Stark and harsh at Cellular Jail, Andaman islands It is stark and harsh at Cellular Jail , Port Blair , Andaman Islands . Posting this on the birth anniversary of Vinayak Damodar Savarkar .

from the prison cell at cellular jain where Veer Savarkar was imprisoned Tribute to Vinayak Damodar Savarkar on the day this great son of India was born. From the prison cell at Cellular Jail , Andaman islands , where Veer Savarkar was imprisoned by the British. ( Cellular Jail, Port Blair , 2008 )

Ruins of a church at Ross island, Andamans The main edifice of this church at Ross island , Andamans is fairly intact although everything else is gone. One look at it and you can make out that this must have been a beautiful church which served the British settlement on this island which is across the sea from Port Blair . With its stained glass and other paraphernalia, this structure would be very charming and inviting.  (Ross island, Andamans, 2008)

Twilight at Viper Island, Andaman sea The mood was sombre while returning from Viper island in Andaman sea . It was here that the British used to imprison convicts and political prisoners. There are ruins of the notorious gallows which the British must have used remorselessly to crush the radicals amongst the freedom fighters.  The jail here was abandoned after the construction of cellular jail at Port Blair in 1906.
