Port Blair is the capital of the Andamans. Andaman and Nicobar Islands are in the Bay of Bengal. During World War II, the islands were under the control of the Japanese but after the war, the British regained control over the islands. The island is infamous for its cellular jail. In the olden days when the British administration was trying to crush the revolts of Indians who were up in arms against the rulers. Some of them were sent to jail in the Andamans. In those day these jails were virtual hells where if one went would never come back alive. These prisoners were kept in solitary confinements in the dark cells. The grind was enough to drive one either mad or a skeleton. Many of them died a gradual but sure death. There are hotels in Phoenix Bay Port Blair.
