Brutal behaviour with Freedom fighters in Cellular jail



BY A STAFF REPORTER: Savarkar was sent to the Cellular Jail on the Andaman Island on April 7, 1911, for the murder of Nashik district collector Jackson. In this prison, the inmates were given a bull-like plough in the crusher. Savarkar was in Port Blair jail from July 4, 1911 to May 21, 1921. He wrote poetry with nails and coals on the walls of the jail during his solitary confinement in the Andamans. He then rewrote the 10,000 lines he remembered after his release from prison.
