Inside the jail they fought many a battle and put up a strong resistance against the malevolent treatment. They fought for human dignity, exhibited unparalleled courage and dogged perseverance. They were great in their deeds and greater in their sufferings. The exploits of the heroes of the Cellular Jail built up a legacy to be cherished for all times.
