## Exile to the Cellular Jail

At the end of the Anglo-Manipur War in the year 1891, which resulted in the British victory, Kulachandra Singh and other 22 Manipuri freedom fighters were exiled to the then British penal colony in the Andaman and Nicobar Islands. At the time of their exile, the Cellular Jail (Kalapani) was about to be built in the island. So, Kulachandra Singh and the other 22 men were imprisoned on the Mount Manipur (Mount Harriet), in the present day South Andaman district.

During October 2021, Amit Shah, a Union Home Minister of the Republic of India, initially announced the re-christening of the mountain and the national park.
