V d\u016fsledku indick\u00e9ho povst\u00e1n\u00ed v roce 1857 z\u0159\u00eddili brit\u0161t\u00ed koloniz\u00e1to\u0159i na Andamansk\u00fdch a Nikobarsk\u00fdch ostrovech trestaneckou kolonii, aby potla\u010dili vzpouru. Ross\u016fv ostrov, nejmen\u0161\u00ed z 576 ostrov\u016f souostrov\u00ed, se stal spr\u00e1vn\u00edm centrem d\u00edky sv\u00e9 strategick\u00e9 poloze.<\/p>\n\n
Indi\u010dt\u00ed v\u011bzni a politi\u010dt\u00ed v\u011bzni byli nuceni vy\u010distit hust\u00e9 lesy na ostrov\u011b a vybudovat n\u00e1dhern\u00fd koloni\u00e1ln\u00ed komplex, kter\u00fd zahrnoval komisa\u0159\u016fv bungalov, presbyteri\u00e1nsk\u00fd kostel a upraven\u00e9 zahrady. Navzdory luxusn\u00edmu okol\u00ed byl \u017eivot na Rossov\u011b ostrov\u011b v\u0161echno, jen ne pohodln\u00fd.<\/p>\n\n
V\u011bzni byli p\u0159et\u00ed\u017eeni prac\u00ed, su\u017eov\u00e1ni nemocemi a vyhubl\u00ed. Mal\u00e1rie, cholera a dal\u0161\u00ed tropick\u00e9 nemoci byly roz\u0161\u00ed\u0159en\u00e9. Britov\u00e9 dokonce prov\u00e1d\u011bli na v\u011bzn\u00edch nez\u00e1konn\u00e9 l\u00e9ka\u0159sk\u00e9 pokusy, n\u00e1siln\u011b je krmili experiment\u00e1ln\u00edmi l\u00e9ky proti mal\u00e1rii se z\u00e1va\u017en\u00fdmi vedlej\u0161\u00edmi \u00fa\u010dinky.<\/p>\n\n
Jak se indick\u00fd boj za nez\u00e1vislost zost\u0159oval, vedla pot\u0159eba \u0159\u00e1dn\u00e9ho v\u011bzen\u00ed ke stavb\u011b Celul\u00e1rn\u00edho v\u011bzen\u00ed v nedalek\u00e9m Port Blair. Tato nechvaln\u011b zn\u00e1m\u00e1 v\u011bznice byla sv\u011bdkem nepopsateln\u00fdch krutost\u00ed v\u016f\u010di indick\u00fdm bojovn\u00edk\u016fm za svobodu a politick\u00fdm v\u011bz\u0148\u016fm.<\/p>\n\n
Uzav\u0159en\u00ed Celul\u00e1rn\u00edho v\u011bzen\u00ed v roce 1937 znamenalo bod obratu v historii Andamansk\u00fdch ostrov\u016f. Bou\u0159liv\u00e1 minulost ostrov\u016f v\u0161ak pokra\u010dovala.<\/p>\n\n
V roce 1941 zas\u00e1hlo ostrovy zem\u011bt\u0159esen\u00ed o s\u00edle 8,1 stupn\u011b Richterovy \u0161k\u00e1ly, kter\u00e9 zp\u016fsobilo rozs\u00e1hl\u00e9 \u0161kody a p\u0159es 3 000 \u00famrt\u00ed. O rok pozd\u011bji obsadili Andamansk\u00e9 a Nikobarsk\u00e9 ostrovy japonsk\u00e9 s\u00edly.<\/p>\n\n
Britov\u00e9, kte\u0159\u00ed nedok\u00e1zali ostrovy br\u00e1nit, uprchli. B\u011bhem t\u0159\u00ed let japonsk\u00e9 okupace byl Ross\u016fv ostrov vydrancov\u00e1n kv\u016fli surovin\u00e1m a zni\u010den kv\u016fli stavb\u011b bunkr\u016f.<\/p>\n\n
Pot\u00e9, co spojeneck\u00e9 s\u00edly v roce 1945 znovu dobyly ostrovy, byla trestaneck\u00e1 kolonie trvale rozpu\u0161t\u011bna. Dnes je Ross\u016fv ostrov spravov\u00e1n indickou vl\u00e1dou a existuje jako turistick\u00e1 atrakce.<\/p>\n\n

Ross\u016fv ostrov, kdysi vychvalovan\u00fd jako \u201ePa\u0159\u00ed\u017e V\u00fdchodu\u201c, je dojemnou p\u0159ipom\u00ednkou brutality britsk\u00e9ho imp\u00e9ria a hou\u017eevnatosti indick\u00e9ho lidu.<\/p>\n\n
