The Cellular Jail, also known as Kālā Pāani (Black Water), was a colonial prison situated in the Andaman and Nicobar Islands, India. The prison was used by the British especially to exile political prisoners to the remote archipelago. Many notable dissidents such as
Batukeshwar Dutt and
Veer Savarkar , among others, were imprisoned here during the struggle for India's independence. Today, the complex serves as a national memorial monument.
