Ross Island of Andaman and Nicobar as a sorrowful history.

In that island Pinal Colony was established in 1958 by the British Colonial Government of India primarily to jail a large number of Freedom Fighters from the Sepoy Mutiny of 1857.

Archibald Blair wanted to establish the Penal Island in 1796, but failed due to malaria.

The first group of Prisoners were transported under the control of Dr James Patinson Walker of Calcutta. Once 8000 Freedom Fighters were shifted under this project and 3500 of them died due to sickness. The death ratio at that time was 700 per year, as the Doctor's Camp reported that only 45 of them out of 10000 survived from this fatal desease.

In 1893, after the opening of Cellular Jail(Kalapani) in Portblair, all the prisnors were shifted there.

The Ross Island was abandoned by british in 1945 due to an earthquake.

Adisaptagram, a small town beside Bandel, Hooghly(Near Kolkata) has a great history itself.

It was founded and structured on 8th Century A.D as a port area by Palas and Senas on the lap of Saraswati river. It was used for their business purpose. That time it's name was Saptagram or Satgaon Port and it was the capital of Southern Bengal.

On 14th to 16th century when Sultanat era started in Bengal it became the main administrative center of Bengal.

On 18th century when the Saraswati river started to dry and lost her flow, the port was shifted to Kolkata on the bank of Hooghly river.

Vrindavan Das Thakur mentioned it's name on 'Chaitanya Bhagawat' and Manik Dutta mentioned Saptagram in 'Chandimangal Kavya'.

According to Bipradas Pipilai when the famous merchant Chand Sadagar goes for trading, his many of his ships passes through this port.

Also Ibn Battuta landad on India through this port town.

In the time period of Muhammad Bin Tughlak, Saptagram was one of the top three administrative centers in India.
