Question

In what ways did the naval mutiny prove to be the last nail in the coffin of british colonial aspirations in india

Answer 1

The Royal Indian Navy (RIN) mutiny took place in the aftermath of the Indian National Army (INA) Trials and the revolt of the Royal Air Force. The Indian masses were already in a frenzy over these recent events. The immediate cause of the RIN mutiny was dissatisfaction over the general conditions in the Navy. The Navy (as also the Air Force and the military forces) had been a part of World War-II, and they were greatly dissatisfied over the treatment meted out to them on their return.
