Details
So many years after visiting cellular jail at Port Blair, the memory sends
a chill down my spine. Emotions are strong - anger at the extreme
torture inflicted by the British on the freedom fighters, sadness that these
bravehearts had to suffer so much and that we continue to bicker over
honouring them, frustration that despite all these sacrifices where we are
today and pride that there was a bunch of people who had the guts to
take on the might of the British Raj and dream of throwing them out
despite all the adversities and personal risks to their life and family. It is
indeed a vortex of emotions that run high when you visit cellular jail. It is
the ultimate temple of independent India.
