Alipore Jail

Notable inmates

• Sri Aurobindo, imprisoned after the Alipore bomb case. During his stay he wrote a series of articles in Bengali in the journal Suprabhat, later published as Tales of Prison life. He later said, "I have spoken of a year's imprisonment. It would have been more appropriate to speak of a year's living in an ashram or a hermitage. The only result of the wrath of the British Government was that I found God."
