ANDAMAN by Ratnadip Acharya [Paperback]

What secrets are hidden for more than a century on the walls of the dreaded Cellular Jail? 1912 CE: A priest found himself in the whirlwind of swadeshi movements that brought him finally to the infamous Cellular Jail, Port Blair. There he witnessed the unbridled tortures that the jail authority unleashed on the political prisoners. He hatched up a plan to escape from the prison and left some symbols on the walls of his cell that might help someone understand his story one day. 2004 CE: In Great Nicobar Island, a small boy survived the tsunami. The orphaned boy was named ‘Andaman’ and was prophesied to fulfil a noble task that only he could do. Years later, the wheels of events brought him to a cell in the Cellular Jail where he was surprised to discover certain strange symbols on the walls that he had seen before. As his exploration started from the jail to the deepest jungle of Andaman, the home of the Jarawas, slowly many deeply-buried secrets uncovered, embracing Andaman in a century-old chain of events; a long saga of trust, betrayal, and retribution where he also had a role to play. But Andaman knew the entire story he would understand only if he could understand the secret of that strange-looking Swastika. To know more read... Andaman
