comedy of our trial was being staged within the world-play, and on the
court-room stage itself we the undertrial prisoners had been doing our little
private drama. The stage was set in the room of the <st1:Street><st1:address>Alipore
  Sessions Court</st1:address></st1:Street>. One corner of the room was fenced off
so as to form a square enclosure but with wire netting that enabled us to see
and breathe. They had also left a small passage through the netting for our entrance
and exit, and a sentry had been posted with arms to watch that the tigers and
wild beasts did not break through the cage. Inside, a few benches had been laid
where we might sit, for we could not obviously be kept standing the whole day.
We were some thirty-five in all. They used to take us from Alipore Jail in a
carriage – by carriage I mean a horse-drawn vehicle, for motor-cars had not yet
come. As we left jail, they would handcuff us in two's, the right hand of one
being tied to the left hand of the other with the same pair of handcuffs. The
handcuffs were removed before we entered our cage in the courtroom.<o:p></o:p></p>

But the court proceeded in its own way and we went on in ours. The pleaders and
barristers and witnesses and spectators were all engrossed in the subject
matter of the case. The barristers pleaded, the witnesses gave their depositions,
the court made comments, <span class=GramE>everything</span> went on as is
usual in a court of law. But we remained perfectly neutral and indifferent as
if it did not concern us at all. Our interests were elsewhere. We had come to
sit together forming separate groups of four or five according to our
respective tastes and temperaments. We could of course move from one group to
another as and when we liked. Our topics of discussion ranged over all manner
of subjects: religion and spirituality, literature and science, our work and
our future, all this came within our purview. Our discussions sometimes grew so
loud and hot that Judge Beachcroft – he had been contemporaneous with Sri
Aurobindo at <st1:City><st1:place>Cambridge</st1:place></st1:City> – would
shout at us like a schoolmaster, &quot;Less noise there, less noise
there!&quot; If that did not stop all the noise, then he had to make this
threat, &quot;Unless you stop, your tiffin will stop.&quot; That was a deadly
blow and made us perfectly still. For the tiffin they served us in court was
our chief meal in the whole day, for its quantity and quality were such as to
make it a charming oasis in that <st1:place>Sahara</st1:place> of jail. This
tiffin came to us from outside, from friends and relatives and well-wishers. It
included such items as <i>luchis, </i>potatoes and fritters and sweets. Once we
had a taste of all this, it was no wonder that the jail rations came to be
despised and grew untouchable.<o:p></o:p></p>

the midst of all this, Sri Aurobindo used to sit apart in his little corner.
But we could approach him if anyone had anything to ask. One day we arranged a
&quot;general meeting&quot;, that is, requested him to give us a talk – of
course in the court-room itself and during the proceedings! The court would go
on and we would go on with our &quot;meeting&quot;. Sri Aurobindo agreed to
speak and he chose as his subject, &quot;Nationalism and the Three Gunas
(Psychological Types).&quot;<o:p>&nbsp;</o:p></p>

few pages every day. In these statements he had to explain in lengthy detail
his ideas and ideals, the aims and policy of the <i>Bandemataram </i>and <i>Yugantar

original manuscripts be recovered, they would be precious documents today.<o:p></o:p></p>

on the subject of Sri Aurobindo's writings in jail, I cannot help divulging a
secret, namely, that he had written a whole series of essays on the subject of
the bomb. The terrorists had been subjected to bitter attacks in the press and
they had been falsely accused of all manner of things. It was as if Sri
Aurobindo took up his pen to defend them against these accusations. In this
series of four essays he discussed in detail the cult of the bomb. I can still
recall the titles: (I) The Message of the Bomb, (2) The Morality of the Bomb,
(3) The Psychology-of the Bomb, (4) The Policy of the Bomb. The series was not
completed, but what was written could serve the purpose very well. The writings

me then give out another secret in this connection. Just as Sri Aurobindo had
taken up his pen – or shall we say his pencil? – <span class=GramE>on</span>
behalf of the bomb, similarly Nivedita at a later date once took up the cause <i>of
</i>Swadeshi dacoits. The ideas and motives of these patriots, what impelled
them to take up this particular line were explained with such fine understanding
and sympathy in Nivedita's writing that it read almost like poetry. Here too
the manuscript had come to my hands and was in my custody. That was about the
time when Sri Aurobindo on coming out of jail had taken up his work again and
started the two weeklies, the English <i>Karmayogin </i>and the Bengali <i>Dharma.
</i>At that time, Nivedita maintained rather close contacts with Sri Aurobindo
and <span class=GramE>ourselves</span>. She used to write for the <i>Karmayogin,
</i>and when Sri Aurobindo went into retirement, it was she who edited the last
few issues of the paper almost single-handed, with the sole exception of
news-items. She continued all the features which Sri Aurobindo had begun. Thus
she too wrote a few &quot;Conversations&quot; on the lines of Sri Aurobindo's
&quot;Conversations of the Dead&quot;. I translated them into Bengali and have
included them in my <i>Mriter Kathopakathan (Conversations of the Dead) </i>in
Bengali.<o:p></o:p></p>

150%;mso-pagination:none;mso-layout-grid-align:none;text-autospace:none; margin-top:0; margin-bottom:0'>While
in jail, we had the good fortune to read some unpublished writings of Sri Aurobindo's. Each of us had been furnished by the authorities with a printed
brochure containing a report of the exhibits – that is to say, all the documents:
letters, notebooks, etc. – which concerned us in that case. These included
portions of an unfinished article from Sri Aurobindo's notebook, entitled,
&quot;What is <span class=SpellE>Extre<span

article, one that was ready for the editorial columns of the <i>Bandemataram </i>and
was to be published the next day; but instead of going to the <i>Bandemataram </i>office,
it found its way into the hands of the police as a result of the arrests. This
article was so beautiful and perfect from the point of view of both style and
substance that I read it over and over again and committed it to memory and
would often repeat it aloud when I found myself alone. Hear how it begins,

calls the &quot;grand style simple.&quot; This piece fortunately has not been
lost; it has found a place in one of Sri Aurobindo's works, in his <i>The
Doctrine of Passive Resistance, </i>under the heading, &quot;The Morality of
Boycott.&quot; You might read it for yourselves. You will be delighted, I can

I am going to divulge to you yet another secret, perhaps the most important of
all, concerning our life in jail. I have said that I had Sri Aurobindo's essays
on the bomb slipped out of jail by handing them over to a friend. But how was
this done? By what means did we carry on this kind of secret interchange with
the outside world? How we could manage to import pistols into jail remained a
major headache for the police. The police invented so many theories and there
was no end to the conjectures indulged in by the public.<o:p>&nbsp;</o:p></p>

in biscuit <span class=GramE>tins,</span> or in the bellies of fish, or in jack-fruit,
and what not. Finally, the Police Chief could contain himself no longer and
decided to ask Kanai. Kanai was already under sentence of death and was biding his
time. &quot;Now that all is over,&quot; said the Police Chief &quot;where is
the harm if you confess it? Why not show some courage and tell us where you
found the pistol?&quot; Kanai grew serious and said in measured tones, &quot;It
is the spirit of Khudiram who gave me the revolver.&quot; Khudiram had been
hanged for his attempt on the life of Kingsford.<o:p></o:p></p>

150%;mso-pagination:none;mso-layout-grid-align:none;text-autospace:none; margin-top:0; margin-bottom:0'>Well,
let me now explain how the pistols came. They came precisely the way Sri
Aurobindo's writings went. When the police found that we were not such
ferocious beasts after all, they gave us permission to have a chance sometimes
of meeting our friends and relatives. These meetings took place in a room next
to the entrance through the main gate of the jail. They erected a partition of
iron bars through the middle of the room. On one side of this barrier stood the
visitors and friends and we stood on the other: No doubt there were some
sentries about, but they did not particularly bother to watch, for on the whole
there had grown up an amount of confidence in our good faith. But it wets very
easy to pass on anything across this barrier, for with a shawl or heavy <i>chuddar
</i>on, one could easily touch the person on the other side of the bars – out
of an excess of feeling, one would normally imagine. I remember how my uncle once
burst into tears on meeting me in this manner. Anyhow, the pair of revolvers
used by Kanai and Satyen had changed hands through the bars in this manner.<o:p></o:p></p>

referred just now to our good faith. In fact our laughter and fun, our mirth
and play, and our sweet simplicity had astonished them all. We had a Court
Inspector, an elderly Muslim gentleman, who would almost burst into tears as he
looked on us. &quot;How dare you laugh and play?&quot; he used to say, &quot;<span

His promotion was stopped or perhaps he was dismissed from the service. The man

have said we used to keep ourselves fully preoccupied with our own discussions,
as we sat within our cage in the court-room, and never paid much attention to
what was going on outside in court. But if something new or interesting or
sensational cropped up, then of course we would just turn round to see. There
was something sensational that happentd one day; it concerned <span
class=GramE>myself</span>. They produced an important witness against me; it
was the cabin-man at the railway level-crossing near Deoghar, a poor old man.
Were he to identify me as the person who had been passing to and fro near his
cabin – we had several times been to Dighiriya hill across the railway line – that
would prove my complicity in the bomb and get me the Andamans without fail.

was in a fix; he got so confused that he finally shouted, &quot;That was the

court-room rang with laughter. Norton was flabbergasted, for he had been
