Abstract

This study presents a compelling biographical analysis of political prisoners incarcerated in the Andaman Islands during a critical period of colonial and post-colonial history. Drawing from archival records, personal narratives, and historical accounts, it sheds light on the lives, struggles, and enduring legacies of these individuals who were silenced by oppressive regimes. Through an examination of their biographies, this research explores the impact of political imprisonment on the prisoners themselves and the broader socio-political landscape, emphasizing resilience, resistance, and the quest for justice.
