Sharma : What about food?
Chavan : Food was not very good in jail. It was substandard. But one gets used to it in course of time. Both in Visapur and Yeravda food was not good. But there was this relaxation in the atmosphere that we could play, read and have small group meetings.
Sharma : What kinds of games were provided to you?
Chavan : Well, they had not provided any games but we used to play out desi games like Kabbadi in that compound. In the saytime and even till 8 O'clock in the night, we could get out of the tents.
Sharma : Atapata?
Chavan : Atapata and hotutu. Then other games were there. We used to play caroms and cards. Facilities for all those games were available.
Sharma : It is said that in the 1932 movement you were responsible for issuing bulletions. Can you tell us what these bulletins ontained and who assisted you in this work, financially and physiclly?
Chavan : Well, physical part of it, we were a group of students, we used to collect important material from news items and write it ourselves. There were some student groups. who never came to jail, but collected material and kept these bulletins ready for us. There was a senior person named Raghu Anna Limaye who helped us a lot in these bulletins.
And about money part of it, we used to collect small amounts from merchants, who were very sympathetic to the national movement. We required very small amounts to purchase paper and ink. About one thousand copies were sufficient for us for distribution and pesting in the important locations of the town.
