How the firebrand revolutionary Sachchidananda Hirananda Vatsyayan Sastri became the writer Agyeya
Within a month of his arrest, Vatsyayan had begun writing. He wrote straight through his incarceration, despite the subhuman conditions of imprisonment and occasional solitary confinement. He wrote on whatever he could lay his hands on, pouring poetry, diary entries, stories, essays and translations out into school exercise books and the back of discarded tribunal proceedings papers.
Vatsyayan was also able to explore a new passion for pastel crayons, often drawing self-portraits with evocative titles like ‘His First Offence’. Slowly, he began smuggling his writing out with the help of a fellow defendant on bail or a visitor. And books and journals were smuggled in.
In the second year of his imprisonment, a door to the literary world opened to him in the form of Jainendra Kumar, a writer often credited with introducing psychological insight to the modern Hindi novel. Six years older than Vatsyayan, Jainendra was an established writer and Gandhian, and was close to Premchand – modern Hindustani literature’s so-called ‘Upanyas Samrat’ (Emperor of Novelists) – and had already served time in prison for his efforts in the independence movement as a Congress party activist.
