KW  - Royal Indian Navy Mutiny, 1946
N2  - Although signs of mutiny in the Indian armed forces were evident while the Second World War drew to a close the massive naval revolt of 1946 came as a surprise to everyone. To begin with, this book will critically examine the reactions this event evoked among the various political actors in India in 1946. How did the British react to the Mutiny and its perceived implications ? What was the reaction of the Indian National Congress to an event which put its nationalist credentials on trial ? How did the Muslim League and the Communists react ? On the basis of these reactions what can we conclude about the nature of the Indian freedom struggle in 1946
