That act was the angrez sarkar's jailhouse for our words, to gag newspapers that dared question the Raj. It especially hunted down the ones in our own bhashas, like *Amrita Bazar Patrika* and *Kesari*—they feared the fire in those pages. But they say it was about "seditious writing," yet in my nana's house, it was simply about truth-telling. I know this because our old iron trunk still holds his confiscated printing blocks, and my dadi would say they didn't seize ink and lead, they tried to seize our *jigar*.
