1946 Royal Indian Navy Mutiny: Last War of Independence
Author: Pramod Kapoor
Publisher: Roli Books Private Limited
ISBN: 9392130287
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 408
Book Description
In 1946, 20,000 non-commissioned sailors of the Royal Indian Navy mutinied. They were inspired by the heroism of the Azad Hind Fauj. But their anger was sparked by terrible service conditions, racism, and broken recruitment promises. In less than 48 hours, 20,000 men took over 78 ships and 21 shore establishments and replaced British flags with the entwined flags of the Congress, the Muslim League, and the communists. The British panicked and announced a Cabinet Mission to discuss modalities of transfer of power. By this time, Indian troops had refused to fire on the ratings, and the mutiny sparked revolts in other branches of the armed forces. The young ratings presented a charter of demands, even as they fought pitched battles against British troops. People thronged the streets in support, and hartals were followed by street fights between civilians and British soldiers resulting in over 400 deaths and 1,500 injured. To quell the rebellion, British commanded their powerful warship HMS Glasgow to sail rapidly from Trincomalee and ordered low sorties by the Royal Air Force fighter planes. In retaliation, the ratings trained the guns mounted on the captured ships towards the shore, threatening to blow Gateway of India, Yacht Club, and the dockyards. As violence escalated, telegrams flew between the Viceroy’s office and the British Cabinet. The British realized they could no longer hold India by force. While the communists continued to support the rebellious ratings, the Congress and the Muslim League persuaded them to surrender, promising they would not be victimized. Shamefully, years later, the governments of India and Pakistan refused to honour those promises after Independence. The mutiny caused public disagreements between Gandhiji and Aruna Asaf Ali, and between Sardar Patel and Nehru. Historians say it accelerated the transfer of power. But this seminal event, which inspired songs, art and theatre has been edited out of the popular narratives of the Freedom Movement.

The Emergence of Indian Nationalism
Author: Anil Seal
Publisher: Cambridge University Press
ISBN: 9780521062749
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 438
Book Description
In this volume Dr Seal analyses the social roots of the rather confused stirrings towards political organisations of the 1870s and 1880s which brought about the foundation of the Indian National Congress. He is concerned not only with the politicians, viceroys and civil servants but with the social structure of those parts of India where political movements were most prominent at the time. The emphasis of this work is more upon Indian politics than upon British policy: the associations in Bengal and Bombay, the genesis of the Congress and the Muslim breakaway which accentuated the political divisions in India.

Rin Mutiny, 1946
Author: Biswanath Bose
Publisher: Northern Book Centre
ISBN: 9788185119304
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 278
Book Description
The book is written on the basis of historical background imbibing the facts of the final phase of India's liberation movement, valorous deeds of the teenaged Indian sailors in the uprising and has unearthed many notable events of the contemporary period. A condensed account of the entire episode written in a manner to throw light to the hidden glory of Indians struggling for freedom. RIN MUTINY: 1946 is laudable to all freedom loving people. It contains not only the most authentic version of a leading participant in the Mutiny but also those who were associated with him in the Strike Committee. The book has also covered International and National press reports, participating warships and naval establishments all over the country. Reviews ``The book is certainly a very good attempt for an authentic portrayal of hitherto unpopular but sensitive event of Indian history. There is sufficient material for the students of history and inquisitive readers as well as research scholars''. Dr B. C. Kalita, Review Projector (India), Vol. 9, No. 7–9. The author of this book was a participant in the historic uprising of the courageous sailors who wrote a glorious chapter in the history of our freedom movement. This reviewer congratulates the author for the painstaking work that he took in making his own contribution and bringing together other valuable material. E.M.S. Namboodiripad, People’s Democracy, June 25, 1989. ``The book under review is a noble attempt to draw attention of both historians and the patriotic people to the immortal heroes within the military personnel who fought and died during India's struggle for freedom. Biswanath Bose's work has done a remarkable job by vividly presenting the history of a glorious battle which our official historians ignore wilfully to shield our national heroes, somewhat unjustifiably''. P.N. Dhar, The Quarterly Review of Historical Studies, Vol. XXIX (4), pp. 59–62
