With the rise of the Indian independence movement in the 19th century, the Cellular Jail was built between 1896 and 1906 to house Indian convicts and political prisoners in solitary confinement. The Cellular Jail has also been given the name Kala Pani because of the torture and general ill-treatment meted out to the Indian convicts. The islands were occupied by the Japanese in World War II without resistance from the garrison. Port Blair served as the Azad Hind headquarters under Subhash Chandra Bose. British forces returned to the islands in 1945. If you looking for Indian Stamps and miniature Sheets, then you can visit our site Philacy.com
