Punishment of black water (1857 to 1947)

The tradition of inhumane treatment of prisoners is very old. Spread out The port of Adimana has been called Blair Port ever since. The island was named after Archie Blair, who first occupied the island in 1782. The island was liberated in 1796 due to the unhealthy climate and the abundance of snakes and scorpions. Turned into the most horrible prison in human history. Where there was no idea of ​​coming back alive.

When the centenary celebrations were held in India and Pakistan in 1957 to commemorate the war of independence, Sahir Ludhianvi had said. The United Kingdom must apologize to the people of the subcontinent for the atrocities committed by Blackwater, not on the massacre of the War of Independence. What happened to the civilian prisoners there? And the laws there were the same as those of Guin Ta Namobe. This symbol cannot be taken down, it will inform the coming generations about the dark night of oppression that we have come here. " Many myths have been written against the backdrop of black water, in which Saleem Shehzad's legend "Black water of white color" is very important. When the jailer saw that despite all the persecution, there was no distress on the man's face. So he began to play with his religious feelings, shaving his beard. But he still seemed satisfied, even though the grass was boiled only once for him to eat, and he wore heavy iron chains and worked very hard all day long. He was locked in his cell, but when a soldier came and told the jailer that the woman was praying in the cell, he killed them both.

The British government deported dangerous criminals and sent them to prisons (black water) in the Andaman Islands for life, where the perpetrators of the 511 crimes listed in the Penal Code were imprisoned. The staff of Kala Pani Jail was appointed according to the wishes of the British. At that time some prisoners managed to escape from there, many used to beat their hands and feet to escape. About 180 million criminals, guilty of robbing the living and the dead of their dignity, were imprisoned for life in order to preserve the rest of humanity. The Andaman Islands are located in the Indian Ocean. The extraordinary distance of the Andaman and Nicobar Islands from India can be gauged only by the fact that the militia is only one hundred kilometers away from the southern border of the Andamans. Burma is only 120 kilometers from the northern border. Andaman is unique in the world in that the central Andaman Islands of about six hundred and fifty square kilometers are devoid of Stone and Steel Age civilizations. There are savage people even today who are always naked, no one in the whole world can understand their language, they run away from civilized human beings, they never go out of the forest for life, their heads are round and their eyes are out. Hui, but their teeth are very bright white and curly hair, their diet is insects, sea ketchup and wild fruits, even today they are instead of matches. They rub stones and light fires. Looking at their houses and way of life, one can say that they are people of the first century of Adam's time. They have no knowledge of any event that has taken place in the past or of any accident that has taken place on the earth. It has nothing to do with it. No law of the government has been imposed on them. They run away from or attack them, their areas have been declared safe by the government and they have set up guards around it, no one can go there without government permission, even today the exact number of these savage human beings is known. Neither the government nor anyone else. These Andaman Islands have been inhabited for centuries and trade and tourism caravans have always passed near them but no one dared to stop and settle there for fear of these savage human beings. On this colony to make a permanent colony of prisoners When they arrived, they were attacked by uncivilized savages. And after a bloody war they managed to capture some areas here. At that time the foreign army had come here with 200 of its prisoners to occupy this land.

To this day, it is not known why the word "black water" was used to refer a prisoner to the Andamans. This may mean sending "overseas" which was thousands of kos away from India, and words like "kale kos" for long distance were already prevalent in Indian idiom. Rebels and criminals were sentenced to life imprisonment instead of death. But at the beginning of the twentieth century, this punishment began to be given to those whom the British colonial system considered to be against its interests. In a way, black water can be considered as a punishment for deportation. In the days of Muslim and non-Muslim rulers in ancient India, no such punishment was ever meted out to an Indian, probably because the people of Hindu Dharma considered crossing the sea a "great sin." He believed that crossing the sea would destroy his Dharma and he would lose his caste As soon as one hears the name of Kala Pani, the map of this prison comes to mind that wherever he went once, he seldom returned alive and even his body did not get the soil of his homeland. There are many other prisons on the planet like this. The United States has built a painful prison for Al Qaeda and Taliban prisoners like Guantanamo Bay but the black water prison was even worse. Prisoners in this prison would have died of malaria if they had not died of severe physical exertion because malaria was common on the island on which it was built and could not be cured. The prisoners who were fortunate enough to be released on the eve of India's independence in 1947 are shocked to hear of the humiliating treatment meted out to them in this prison.

When the fires of the war of independence broke out in India and thousands of freedom fighters were arrested who were supposed to be kept in safe jails, they were sent to these swampy islands as punishment and forced to work. He was hired to build a prison there. The prison was built in 1906 to torture rebels in the British Empire. Because the prison's internal structure resembles a cell, it was named a cellular prison. In terms of construction, a tower has been built in the middle of this jail, from which seven branches sprout. From here the prisoners were closely monitored. The freedom fighters brought from different parts of the country were kept here. They were subjected to severe torture including grinding mill, extracting oil, breaking stones, cutting wood These included standing still, living in solitude, starving for four days, living in a crossbar for ten days, and so on. Working in an oil mill was even more painful. It was very difficult to breathe here, the tongue was dry, the brain was numb, there were blisters on the hands. Many prisoners were killed in it. Her only crime was that she was a mother
