| Abstract: | In the context of the British Empire, Kala Pani is often associated with the ‘Cellular Jail’ the British had established in Port Blair, on the Andaman Islands. To be sent there implied the loss of caste/varna because of the voyage across the sea, and hence, social exclusion and tremendous psychological distress.1 |
