My father had been to Andaman; and he had a chance to visit the cell where Veer Savarkar was jailed. His voice was quivering and he almost had tears in his eyes talking about it; and he was as emotionally tough as a guy as you would have met.

It was a beautiful read Arnab! My grandmother was transferred in Andaman and my Ma and Mama spent their childhood in a house very close to Cellular Jail. My grandparents always had interesting stories about their time in Andaman, this brings back very interesting memories. It’s such a wonderful post….

I recently visited Andaman in May and when I visited Cellular I certainly did not go through what your mother did , since none of the pictures were of my kin. But a visit to Cellular, is a humbling experience and a shudder runs down your spine, at the thgought what the place would have been when it was operational. Every Indian must visit the place at least once, to realize the price that we have paid for the free see air that you can breath on top of the central tower.

pls learn to respect the freedom fighters of india who gave their lives for our country. you people must feel shy to enjoy your lifestyles ur living right now cos ur living freely today becos these people gave away their whole lives for us. and these people have forgotten such great humanbeings.these people never lived for themselves but for their motherland and you people nowadays fight within yourselves only to sit in that prestigious chairs which you have got under your ass.

Hi
I was just now reading the book Freedom and Midnight and was carried away a bit in freedom and movement of it…
I felt there could be nothing more touching than that… now I see that I was wrong..
This was a masterpiece..

Reading a paragraph in text books about what an unknown/unnamed freedom fighter went through doesn’t give the right picture. Thank you, for sharing this with everyone.
