Write a short note on Navy revolt (February 1946).
Answers
Answer:
That the Naval Mutiny was short-lived and has become virtually an unknown episode in the post-Independence era is a crying shame. The RIN revolt started on 18 February 1946 in Bombay. The naval ratings on HMIS Talwar protested against the poor quality of food and racial discrimination by British officers. The protest spread rapidly to the Castle and Fort barracks on shore, and to 22 ships in Bombay harbour.
