Naini, Allahabad, is a very oppressive place in the middle of India. Especially for us hill people, we miss the cool breeze and the frosty chill of the night where we would snuggle under our blanket. In reality, the heat was so strong that if we kept an uncooked egg outside, then by evening it would get grilled. This was not all, every day the prison guards taunted us and insulted our religion whether Christian or Muslim. If we tried to protest, the warders locked us up in our single cells. Later they would take us out one by one and thrash us with long bamboo poles called lathis until we begged for mercy.

Each of us were confined in a single cell 5x15 feet, in it we had to eat, sleep, bathe and answer nature`s call. Each day we were allowed to go out for an hour to exercise in pairs. If I was lucky then my partner would be a senior leader whose words gave me the courage to carry on despite all the difficulties.
As each day passed, frustrations of being cooped up alone in a cell began to take a toll on our patience. One-day two elders got into a tiff over a game of chess. It may seem hilarious now but at that time, it was a sign of our frayed state of mind. If elders were in the verge of losing it then you can't imagine the impact of the daily psychological torture that was being meted out to us.

It is impossible to recount each and every instance of this daily harassment but I’ll try to recount some. There were two loudspeakers on each end of the corridor where we were confined. In the morning at five o' clock they would blast songs like,
Vande Mataram and Jana Gana Mana. If you were not found standing in front of your cell for any reason you would be bought out threatened with a lathi, and forced to sing Vade Mataram standing in attention. After that, the day would pass getting our eardrums manhandled by the constant blaring of the speakers with songs of Indian devotion and patriotism.

The food was nothing to write home about, for breakfast, lunch and dinner we had a pound of half-burnt chapattis each, some watery stuff with lentil bits floating on it and the specialty of the day a mushy and unidentifiable green edible called "Chaurahi" in their local dialect. This was our menu all three times of the day. It was the same day in and day out, except for two pieces of eggs a week, a lump of ghee on wednesday and on special occasions like government and religious holidays we would be given meat or fish.

In the beginning, every Sunday, families of the authorities in Allahabad came to look at these strange creatures called aatankwadis from the fringes of Indian occupied Kashmir and Nagaland. The kids would point towards the bearded Kashmiris and gawk at them saying “ Itne bade bade dari”  Then it was the turn of the Nagas, being bare chested as it was hot and short we came for special ridicule.

They pointed gleefully at us and said” Yeh toh bunduron jey sahe lagte hain “. This went on for weeks until at last, a brave comrade could not stand it any longer and the next time as soon as the families with their kids entered, he stripped naked and stood in front of the gate of his cell in all his naked glory. And glorious it was because even if we were in shackles we could defy our oppressors and as a result, these so-called Babus didn`t bring anyone anymore for the rest of our stay in Naini Central Jail.
