Hijli Prison Cells
Kharagpur, March 31: Gunshots and cries of defenceless detainees will be heard again. Freedom fighters Santosh Mitra and Tarakeswar Sengupta will be shot again. Men of the US 20th Air Force’s 58th Bombardment Wing could drop in briefly. And IIT, Kharagpur, will be born again. Of course, all this will be a light and sound show, as IIT-Kharagpur seeks to re-create its birth in what was one of British India’s detention camps.
Hijli jail, now the Nehru Museum of Science & Technology, is actually quite a grand building. On the walls of one of the rooms is the roll of honour marking that day in September 1931, when a yet- unexplained commotion prompted guards to open fire on peaceful detainees. Mitra and Sengupta died, as they peered out of the building to see what the commotion was all about.
A few years after the only incident of police firing inside a jail/detention camp, the British abandoned the facility in 1934-35, then again in 1939-40, before it was turned into a a US Air Force base during WWII.
