Description
"Political prisoners have been differentiated from the ordinary or criminal prisoners since the anti-colonial struggle in India. This book traces the making and treatment of political prisoners from the early twentieth century. Focussing on the nationalist struggle as also the communist and Naxalite challenges to newly independent India, the book reveals social and political facts from the vantage point of political prisoners. These include ruptures and continuities in repression, the nature of penal sanctions, the legal-political processes, and the discourses of power in colonial and independent India. Based on documents, memoirs, and interviews, the book argues that political prisonhood reveals the intricacies of power relationships at particular historical moments."
