In the breath-taking expanse of the Andaman and Nicobar Islands—where turquoise waters kiss golden shores—one might hardly expect to find a symbol of colonial anguish. Yet, rising solemnly amid this tropical paradise stands the infamous Cellular Jail, known grimly as Kala Pani, or "Black Water." Located in the heart of Sri Vijaya Puram, this three-storeyed prison, completed by the British in 1906, has since transformed into a sacred site—now a National Memorial honouring the spirit of India’s freedom fighters.
