About this granth
Majhi Janmathep (माझी जन्मठेप), "My Transportation for Life", is Vinayak Damodar Savarkar's memoir of his years in the Cellular Jail in the Andamans, the notorious Kala Pani. Arrested in 1910 and sentenced to two terms of transportation for life, Savarkar describes the forced labour, punishments and daily struggles of the political prisoners held there, and his own efforts to keep up their spirit.
The opening pages of this scan present the English version, The Story of My Transportation for Life, translated from Marathi by Prof. V. N. Naik, principal of Narayan Topiwalla College, Mulund. The publisher's note explains that Savarkar wrote the original during his internment at Ratnagiri after his release from the Andamans, and that its first edition of 1927 sold out within a few months.
Running to about 386 pages, the book is a first-hand source for the history of the freedom struggle and of the Andaman penal settlement.
