Ganesh Ghosh: Spent 14 years in Andaman's Cellular Jail (1932-1946)
Ambika Chakrabarty: 16 years in Cellular Jail (1930-1946)
Subodh Roy: 10 years in Cellular Jail (1930-1940)
Kalpana Datta: 6 years in Cellular Jail (1933-1939)

Mercy petitions by these four revolutionaries : 0
Meanwhile, Savarkar wrote Six Mercy Petitions during his 10 years in Andaman's Cellular Jail. (1911-1921)
Correction : After the trial, Subodh Roy was deported to the Cellular Jail in Port Blair in 1934. Both Subodh Roy and Kalpana Datta spent 6 years in Andaman.

Lokenath Bal was jailed for 14 years (1932-1946) in Andaman for his role in Chittagong raid. Bal later joined INC.
Ananta Singh was also sent to Cellular Jail. Manoranjan Bhattacharya was hanged in 1932 at the age of just 22. To avoid getting arrested, Pritilata Waddedar consumed cyanide and died in 1932.

it's a shame that the Andaman Airport is named after someone who wrote mercy petitions.
There are also many others who were the leaders of resistance movement within Andaman's Cellular Jail : Trailokyanath Chakravarty, Sachindra Nath Sanyal, HareKrishna Konar, Jibendra Das, Mahavir Singh & Shiv Verma (Mahavir and Shiv were close associates of Bhagat Singh).
Trilokya Nath Chakravarthy (Famous Bengali revolutionary) in his Bengali book, Jele Tris Bachar (Thirty Years in Jail), published in 1938, wrote an another Betrayal story of Savarkar.
Savarkar instigated Trilokya & his friends to go on a hunger strike at Cellular Jail, which they did. But Savarkar himself did not join the strike

Only 3 prisoners in the entire history of Andaman's Cellular jail wrote mercy petitions. Savarkar brothers & Barin Ghose

Yesterday Nisha Purushothaman made a similar remark in Manorama. Let me explain കേരള നവോത്ഥാനം or Renaissance in Kerala. They wont teach this in schools

The Hindu Population of Kerala was 70% in 1901 and it went down to 60% in 1961. Why? Casteism, the most brutal version.

1/n
The Avarnas (Ezhavas, Dalits & Adivasis) formed 54% of Travancore population in 1901, yet they were denied entry into Temples, Schools & Travancore Assembly.

Avarnas were even denied to wear clothes, denied to keep a moustache and were not allowed to walk on the temple road.
In 1914, social reformer Ayyankali took the lead in admitting a Dalit girl named Panchami to the school. She was denied her admission and attempts to secure admission for Panchami resulted in a massive agitation. Many Schools were burned down.

During World War 2, the Nazis were afraid of 46th Taman Aviation Regiment (An all female regiment of Soviet Air force).

The Nazis dubbed them the 'Night Witches', on account of the way they would cut their aircraft engines to silently swoop in before dropping their bombs. 1/n
From mechanics to navigators, pilots and officers, the 46th Taman regiment was composed entirely of women.

The women, most of them barely 20 years old, started training in Engels, a small town north of Stalingrad.
The women of the 46th regiment flew their first bombing mission on June 8, 1942.

The air raid consisted of three planes; their target was the headquarters of a German division (Wehrmacht). The raid was successful.

Fact 1 : Pazhayangadi Mosque was built in the 15th century. (Over 500 years ago).

Fact 2 : Zamorin of Calicut (hereditary title of the Hindu monarch) ruled over Malabar for over 800 years till the arrival of Hyder Ali from Mysore in 1760's.

Another Fake News.
Though predominantly a Hindu culture, the Zamorin’s kingdom was very much accessible to the influence of western/Eastern culture, for its mould was multi-cultural. From the historical times it had accepted the foreign elements of the Jews, Arabs, Chinese & other western cultures.
In the Kingdom of Zamorin, a historian could find the synthesis of indigenous and foreign elements.

New Synagogues, Mosques and Syro –Malabar Churches were built. It was a multicultural society.

1. This History Thread is about the #indigenous people of India’s #Andaman Islands known as #Sentinelese because they live on North Sentinel Island. Their names for themselves, their island are unknown to the outside world.
2. India’s Andaman Islands are an extension of a Burma/Myanmar mountain range in the Bay of Bengal separated from the mainland when sea levels rose post Ice Age. North Sentinel is to the west of the chain.
3. DNA analysis shows current indigenous peoples inhabited the Andaman Islands for about 18,000 years. Their DNA relates to mainland India’s Pauri Bhuiya and Munda peoples. Languages mostly unique to islands, some links to India mainland and Malaysia. journals.plos.org/plosone/articl…

Yes! The true conservative solution is to spend obscene sums of other people's money to arrest, prosecute, and incarcerate people who aren't a threat to the community
Let's do a brief "There’s a very simple way to avoid incarceration: don’t commit a crime." thread while I wait for my client's case to be called
Just last week, a police officer in Biscayne Park FL pled guilty to framing two innocent black men so the town could meet statistical goals

The men didn't commit a crime, but went to jail anyway

@C_Stroop @AndrewLSeidel Ralph Drollinger's evangelical ministry has been closely associated with Campus Crusade for Christ, whose founder Bill Bright advocated the use of stealth & deception (1986 book Kingdoms at War) and was an insider with the "Christian mafia" (their words) network, The Fellowship.
@C_Stroop @AndrewLSeidel Furthermore, one of the major funders of Drollinger's ministry has been the National Christian Foundation, which is the dominant philanthropy in the community of evangelical funders known as The Gathering, which is the funding arm of The Fellowship.
@C_Stroop @AndrewLSeidel I have written about The Gathering here: twocare.org/the-gathering-…

Among The Gathering's community of funders are Dick & Betsy DeVos - who also attends Ralph Drollinger's bible study groups.

I broke the story on Capital Ministries back in early 2017. twocare.org/pence-sessions…

“Close your eyes and imagine a space in your house, a space that is 8 meters square. Now imagine a steel bed, a chair, a concrete bench, a toilet without a seat and a shower. Without walls or doors…”—@BassaMontse

“Are you overwhelmed? Well, now add an iron door that squeaks every time they close you in, old, gray walls, a tiny little window where you can only see a barbed wire covered wall, and you won't be home. You'll be in Alcalà-Meco jail.”
